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.

But when it comes to 2 string (not legato only picking) im super slow So, I will keep the idea of the lick but throwing in some tap and maybe legato but using the same notes. Well it would be good to pratice 2 notes lick u might think, but this is just too fast I think 32th notes grouped as nines in 130 bmp. But I will certainly overlook that technique a bit more. Suggest a deadline mate I pratice 6 hours a day I can maybe do 1-2 hours on this song You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Suggest a deadline mate I pratice 6 hours a day I can maybe do 1-2 hours on this song Hey Erik! Before suggesting a deadline, there are two important things to consider: - as long as the result ends up sounding as the original, you can use any technique you wish I am all for dodging things, as long as you end up having the desired result, clean, tight, expressive and in good timing - How much of the song do you need to go through? Let me know and I'll tell you about a deadline I am finding realistic Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

May 17 2013, 02:14 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 770 Joined: 25-December 11	of course its a little better on the latest recording. Anyway when i start soloing I just skip the licks in the chords and just play them, gets a bit boring, so I think I throw some synth in there. Would it be cool to let the guitar play basic rock chords and let the synth do chords like a maj 11 since its supposed to mode rock? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

See what you get mate - experimentation is the key to success About the deadlines - Sounds fair to me I wrote it down so we will know! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

May 20 2013, 11:22 AM	Instructor Posts: 22.808 Joined: 14-June 10 From: Bucharest	Hey mate, it's better indeed but the riffage still needs tightness and it should be more oriented towards the shuffle feel - as I feel it now, the intention is not full somehow - can you dig my words? It's a bit leaning towards the normal feel rather than the shuffle one. The theme is very nice and melodic, but watch out when you bend notes - some of them are not quite there. Pads - are atmospheric sounding synths Remember? We spoke about them in this thread a while ago You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
