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.

So I will need some more practice. I will try to put up a take today. Alright man! Looking forward to it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think the problem was i should of been muting the A string and I wasn't. Here is the first parted slowed down and with the correct fingering. http://soundcloud.com/jessej-3/afi-5-tempo Here is the last part slowed down http://soundcloud.com/jessej-3/afi-ending-half-tempo Okay Cosmin I have to be honest and tell you the truth. The reason I was getting nowhere on this lesson is because I disliked having to tune down all the time. So I would only ever practice the lesson on days I made you a take. But today after I made those 2 takes I thought to myself how stupid and lazy I am being. I am sorry for not giving you 100% of my effort. I proceeded to practice this song for an hour and I will practice it for 30min each day from now on. ( except of saturday sunday monday tuesday cause I am on a backpacking trip ). Anyway after an hour of practice I recorded the whole song again and I feel pretty good about it. It's not perfect but I think it's my best yet.

As for part 4 - there's too much string noise man try to mute the strings and reduce that The final take has good timing and it's cleaner and cleaner from one take to another but, still, you need to fix the issues in parts 1 and 4 As a general advice - don't treat anything superficially, or your results will only mirror the way in which you have prepared yourself let's rock!

Jun 22 2012, 03:25 PM	GMC:er Posts: 283 Joined: 11-March 12	Did you mean there was to much noise in part 4 in the take of the whole song or in the take of just part 4 ? And I don't know what is going on with the octaves !?! I made sure to carefully tune my guitar, I checked to make sure I had the right fingering, and I did not hit any other strings ?

Do you know what it is that sounds off to you ? Hey again Jesse I was referring to the separate part 4 not in the context, as in there the noise is easier to hide I will try and make a little vid with the octave phrase, as I don't really understand what you are doing wrong, although it definitely sounds off. At the end of this weekend, you'll have it Cheers! Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Like I said I went and checked the tabs and i do have the correct fingering and I always make sure to tune up properly to Eb. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jun 28 2012, 11:21 PM	GMC:er Posts: 283 Joined: 11-March 12	In the video it looked like you were strumming all the strings when you played. Is that the case ? Because if so I was only strumming the A,D,and G strings when I played the octaves . You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I turned the gain way down and it was still present. Anyway here is a take of the octaves with the 2 high strings muted. I think it sounds closer to the guy on the video but let me know what you think ? http://soundcloud.com/jessej-3/octaves You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I can still here unwanted sounds, but it's really peculiar to me as I don't understand where they are coming from. If you could film yourself playing those octaves, that would help A LOT In the mean time, tell me mate, can you play something using octaves - different than what we had here and record it for me? I am curious to hear something thanks ! Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

About playing some other octaves, I am not very used to octaves ( this is the first time I have played them ) . So I don't know anything with octaves. I could just play like 3 octaves kinda like in the lesson but maybe different notes ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
