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.
), I'm just going to go with it like that for awhile. |

Howdy mate! Looking forward for the vid and in the mean time, you could always tackle this one, for instance:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Papa-Roach-Style/ What say you? If you don't like it, we can always choose another one

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Oct 11 2012, 02:37 AM) Great! Here's a quick take of Metal Metrics 4. It's kinda out of tune. I'm having problems keeping it in tune, not sure why that is. After I tune it, the first take sounds ok, second is out of tune. Doesn't seem to be a problem with standard tuning. If you have any idea, let me know! Anyway, let me know what I need to work on here! http://soundcloud.com/gravesj/metal-metrics-4/s-lcyle |

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Oct 16 2012, 11:57 AM) Hey mate! For drop C, they're kinda loose - I'd go for 11 - 56 hybrid strings. I am currently using Elixir 12 - 52 which are good, but a bit too rigid when dealing with bending and vibrato.. Let me see another take after you will focus on the details  Cosmin Ok - got the hybrid strings I think 10-56? Anyway, much better! Heres another shot. I'm struggling with the vibrato and stuff. The heavy bottom strings are tough to vibrate. And, after listening to this take, I think I added a couple of unnecessary palm mutes in there... Not sure what that's about! HAHA  http://soundcloud.com/gravesj/metal-metrics-4-2/s-pwYfF |

HAHA http://soundcloud.com/gravesj/metal-metrics-4-2/s-pwYfF OH yeah! Everything is great aside from the vibrato in the first part, which needs to be wider and more violent and the palm muting in the first part, as you observed! Work on those and it's a wrap and ready for the REC zone if you'd like

Anyway, as everyone seemed to notice, my guitar was REALLY out of tune. I had a short time for the take and putting the video together (which takes most of the time), that I didn't notice how BAD it was until today!|

Well now, what would you like to tackle next? Any preferences? Ideas? Or should I choose, based on what I've noticed?

QUOTE (John72 @ Nov 12 2012, 07:16 PM) You can choose. Id like to clean up any weak areas I have! Alright mate - I'd say you should widen your vibrato, so I think we should try this lesson to start with https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey-2/ Please let me know if it's too difficult, ok?

Cosmin This is good! I'm going to need to work on it quite a bit. My vibrato is horrible. Hopefully I'll put up the Papa Roach lesson tonight or tomorrow. |
