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.

All the takes have a good fresh spark and I found nice parts which fit together quite well, I'd say! In the order of appearance: Sensible Jones - mate, I have to say this: Polish your writing skills more and more as in this take there were some very coherent lines which I am certain that could've been even more developed, if as you said yourself, they would've received a bit more time It can't go anywhere but in the right direction! Grace - congratulations on your first collab missie!! Nice fresh lines on the chorus, which I have selected and there were also some good ideas that i have spotted in the verse part. My suggestion is to keep writing Experience will build itself only if you allow it to, by writing and playing. I am here to support if you'd like to work on lead playing as well Cosmin - YOU! YOU hurried that bend there! Nether - Mate, there were some nice lines there as well, but please pay attention on having the guitar tuned, on the bending - as there were some spots where you were a bit under the tone and also, the more you will work on writing lead lines in collabs, the more coherent you will be. There were certain moments when the lines were not flowing in a certain direction - you probably were thinking 'Where should I put my hand now?' That's not the way Listen to what your mind tells you - When you join a collab, play the track without having the guitar in your hands and hum the melodies you hear in your head - then transpose them on the guitar The result will be great, because it's YOU there PS: There was a very inspired bend which I liked a lot there Gitarrero - EPIC ending! Straight from the 'American Pie' movies My friend, aside from THAT RIFF we all know about, you have made a name for yourself out of the fact that you always come up with good endings in my collab - am I right? Congratulations to everyone and...what should we have for next week's upcoming collab? Let's hear some suggestions - what style would you guys like to play?

I'm almost sure that i tuned the guitar before playing, but as i did a lot of takes some string might have go out of tune. I'll try what you said about thinking the melody before, i've been improving my ear training so i might be able to do it. I've a lot to learn but i think that doing these kind of things helped a lot. At least it's very funny, and hearing the final result it's great. QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Sep 27 2012, 02:45 PM) It sounded like one of those amazing moments that just happen naturally and you go 'Wow, did I do that ??' Nether can tell us if that was the case ! Hahaha i don't know which bending are you talking about. Almost every thing is improvised so it's probably good luck, except the prebend-release at 0:35. I did that in one take and then I keep doing it in every take, and as I wasn't very inspired i ended doing it a lot of times You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
