> 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.

Hey Cosmin,
Here is my first take of the first lesson. It is at full speed. It is not too fast anyway.. But if you think I should practice at slower tempo let me know..

Looking forward to your valuable comments !!!

Hey mate - it sounds pretty good! It just needs a bit more confidence if you get my hint smile.gif Otherwise it is in good timing and the playing sounds pretty clean.

Giving it more time will increase your definition and technique, so keep playing this one as well and let's see the next one biggrin.gif

Hey Mert! Looks like your chops are improving biggrin.gif This take sounds very good and the only observation I would have - I know you want your technique to be stainless wink.gif - is that you should take care of not having any notes bleed into each other, especially in the lower registers (ex: around min 0:12-0:13). Looking forward to the other one!

Hey Cosmin, thanks for the feedback! I worked on this lesson a bit more trying to stop notes ringing too much. Here is another take. I want to practice this as much as necessary to make it perfect! So please be as critical as you want to. I will post the second lesson a bit later when we are happy with this one smile.gif So, waiting for your comments..

Hey Mert! smile.gif

Mate, a very interesting phenomenon occurred - in your race to get everything really clean, some notes in the lower register sound a bit too dry and timing is off in some parts. Don't exaggerate with muting now tongue.gif You have landed on the other side!

Play natural man, clean but natural, ok?

Hey Cosmin, thanks a lot for the fast feedback ! I think you are absolutely right smile.gif I will work on it a bit more. But you see, this technique has always been very difficult for me. However, I won't give up ! So, will practice more and try to get things clean and natural at the same time and with good timing smile.gif

Actually it is interesting that I never had the chance to tell you or anyone here at GMC really about myself much. That's a shame. So I am happy you asked smile.gif I live in Amsterdam, east of the city, slightly off the center. But Amsterdam is a quite small city so it is ok smile.gif I am not originally Dutch though, well as you might have guessed from my name or from my picture biggrin.gif I am from Turkey. After long years of academic study in lots of places including the US and others, I ended up in Holland to work here. It was a temporary thing in the beginning but then I decided to stay. So here I am smile.gif Life is weird sometimes... How about you, where in Romania do you live ?? I have a very very good Romanian friend from graduate school. I am still in contact with him. He lives somewhere in Transylvania region. So I really want to visit Romania one day to meet him again after many years. And who knows, maybe I can get the chance to meet my GMC instructor also smile.gif

That is very nice. And it would really be kick ass cool if you dropped by Holland and gave me a buzz smile.gif

Hey Cosmin, do you remember me ? tongue.gif
I have been having so much trouble with the next Muris lesson. It broke all my confidence that I can master sweep picking sad.gif I can hardly play it at 130 bpm and I need to reach 160. It looks really impossible.
Here is my attempt at 130 bpm.. Maybe we should pick another lesson or another exercise ?

Hey mate, glad to see you are back smile.gif Listen, Muris is an extremely technical player and not being able to reach his prowess is no reason to feel bad - remember, you are into this for the music - not for a sport, ok? smile.gif

In the mean time, of course we can select a sweeping lesson that is easier to approach and we can try it on for size, how about this one?

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Fusion...ios_in_C_Major/

It's a different approach, but it will clean up your technique a lot!

What do you think mate?

Thanks Cosmin, I should for a while get away from Muris' sweep lesson. It was starting to drive me crazy. How can a level 5 sweep lesson be more difficult than the level 9 or 10 lessons I did from Muris sad.gif
Ok I will practice the new lesson. Thank you !!

Usually, when I feel like something is not going in the right direction, it means that it needs more time. But why waste that time, when I can do other things to improve my musicianship/ guitar playing, instead of staying stuck and eventually frustrated because I can't reach that level as fast as I thought I would.

Let me know how it goes, ok? What else is up with you man, how's life?

Hey Cosmin here is my take for the new lesson. This lesson is level 6 and Muris lesson is level 5 but this lesson is like 100 times easier than the Muris lesson. The guys who are giving lesson levels really underestimated the Muris lesson, I would like to see them play it at full speed, the whole thing..

Anyway here is the new lesson at 100 bpm. Still need to work hard on it but just letting you know how it is going smile.gif Otherwise life is very busy man, very very busy. How about you ??
