 Quadrium's Tightness Primer |

Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

Hey Dogukan!
I'd be honored to help out  Mate, out of what I have heard in your recordings, aside from the styles you would like to tackle, your rhythm playing could be improved, as for tightness and timing in general. I would suggest we start with a series of lessons focusing on this aspect - I want you to chop metal out of that axe!  What do you think? R ya up for it?  Cosmin -------------------- |

Okie dokie Dogukan!
I was thinking we should start with this one - it's pretty straight forward and it involves some finesse elements as well as punchiness! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Metal-Metrics-4/ I would like you to focus on tightness/ precision and attack think Zakk Wylde ok? No mercy! Is Sunday a good deadline for you to nail this one and make a REC take out of it? Take the time to examine it and let me know if there are any questions, k? all the best Cosmin -------------------- |

QUOTE (quadrium @ Feb 23 2012, 02:37 AM) I'm on it!  Dogukan, the take is good but we can improve the details of course Check it out: - I think the guitar is a bit detuned, so please check it out before recording, k? - The tone need less gain - if it has too much gain, you will feel it easier to play with but harder to control if you dig what I mean - there are little details such as the slides in the beginning of the riff which you kinda left out - if you decrease the gain level, you will be compelled to play tighter, as the tone will force more definition out of you Give these a try and let's get a 10 together, deal?
