IS THAT YOUR MAMA?
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.

QUOTE (mad @ Aug 22 2013, 05:21 PM)  OK, here's the list.. - GooGoo Dolls: Black Balloon - GooGoo Dolls: Slide - Foo Fighters: Cold Day In The Sun - Incobus: Drive - The Verve: The Drugs Don't Work - Staind: Outside - Foo Fighters: Stranger Things Have Happenend - A Perfect Circle: 3 Lybras - Fleetwood Mac: Landslide - Coldplay - The Scientist What do you think - manageable? Hey Marc - definitely a lot of my favorite bands and music here  I already know how to sing and play two of the songs - Drive and 3 Libras, but we will not begin with any of them because they are difficult, 3 Libras at least is a killer!Which one do you find easiest or you already had an attempt at?

Awesome!
In the meantime, here's a fresh recording of the full solo for your latest collab for discussing: https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/unmaskingthedrama-gmc-collab Questions 1st: how do you like the other parts, is there anything I should improve/play differently (tell me - I won't be mad at you )?2nd: That arpeggio at 1:20 .. something is wrong, but I don't know what... 3rd: When starting to improvise I always tend to play without knowing what key the backing is in or what scales I can use.. so 90% of that 'solo' is just the result of fiddling around - that's fun but takes lot of time. I'd like to play more confident when improvising any tips here? Thanks

I'd like to play more confident when improvising any tips here? Thanks Hey mate! Mainly, your phrases are a little bit out of direction sometimes - and that has to do with your next questions - that arpeggio sounds a bit off due to the fact that it is a bit out of context, as it would've been more appropriate - in my opinion to play 16th notes there, rather than triplets. It's a matter of choice tho - it's not like I hold the supreme truth in music  - playing what you hear in your head is very good, but that should be a direction and your knowledge of music should be the chisel that makes the diamond shine Theory would help out, in giving you hints of what notes you can use where- for me, the process of creation is about the same - I imagine something, I make it sound really catchy and with flow and then I analyze it to see if I can use my theoretical knowledge to make it even more interesting. i think this is the part that you aren't focusing on - am I right? |
