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.

For the voice though, I'd go for the SM58 Isn't that the holy grail of affordable vocal microphones? No worries mate, although it was a very fun session Watch out for the replay and stay tuned for next week - It'd be great to have you there with us How's that new take coming along - The technical difficulties one, I mean?

Working on that one, have one little part that I am working on . Should take me no more then a week to redo it. First on a slower tempo and build it up again. I am also jamming with some lecturers in a couple of weeks of my school and so im also working on that setlist/ songs like Uprising from Muse. So it is a whole different thing to learn but I enjoy it. I am planning to film both of these in the upcoming week. also what do you think of this device : http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/EUR/Prodipe...-PCM0012164-000 and this one http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/EUR/Peavey-...-PCM0010587-000 They are both usb interface and are pretty cheap.

Yes as said earlier in this topic, I currently have 50 euro's spare. But in 2 months I have a holiday in which I can work more, So its either going to be a usb interface that fits my budget, or a second hand mic.

It will provide far better recording quality at home, as for the mic, if you don't have the cab at home, you can't quite use it for guitar recording.

Now, you need to try it yourself to see if you have made a good investment.

Of course, I am waiting for that take of PG's tune and now you can record it with your new audio interface Yes well as said ordered from HongKong, it usually takes a week In the meantime I have time to perfect my take. I am also jamming on videos on youtube ( its called guitarmaps ) where there is a backingtrack and it shows which scale you can improvise on. I really like it and it gets me out of my daily rush of playing the same licks over and over again You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Oh and another thing, since I am going to use guitarrig again with my guitarlink I found that my boss gt5 can act as a midi footpedal for the program, just have to get a midi-usb cable, that way I can use express pedals in guitarrig.

Needless to say, I will have to wait till the bulb gets here and then re-record mostly everything. I hate it when I'm a cloud head and forget to buy spares...

I really like the the harmonized part " Find another memory, all your dreams of ecstacy". Some riffs remind me somehow of Velvet Revolver ( not the heavy parts ).
