QUOTE (mad @ Jan 3 2013, 05:59 AM)  Thanks Gabriel  I'll try to keep that bpm speed the next days and will practise to play it more clean.. The Hand Synch - lesson is giving me some trouble, especially the opening 3-patterns run over all 6 strings. ATM I play it really sowly with a metronome until the speed gets uncomfortable... I think it would be a goal to play this lesson by the end of this month.. yes, the problem here is crossing strings. This makes Alternate Picking more difficult off course. Let's incorporate this lesson to your diary training... https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=42831 -------------------- My lessons

Update
For the latest recordings on 3-Pattern exercises I use speed bursts as I think it's better for building endurance, too.. what do you think? Pattern1 @ 155bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/pattern1-155bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Pattern2 @ 125bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/pattern2-125bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Pattern3 @ 115bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/pattern3-115bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Here are a few recordings for the string crossing exercises: Ex.1 @ 80bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/exercise1-80bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Ex.2 @ 90bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/exercise2-90bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Ex.3 @ 85bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/exercise3-85bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Ex.4 @ 85bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/exercise4-85bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Exercise5 is coming soon

Excellent job mate!! It would be cool to incorporate any other technique to do the same workshop in parallel. What do you think?

QUOTE (mad @ Jan 11 2013, 01:11 PM) Actually I like the solo-works by Brent Hints (Mastodon). He often combines slow powerful melodies and fast AP-Runs Here's my favourite atm (solo starts at 2.50): And I simply love Buckethead Currently I have no recording of me playing a solo - actually I learn to play Ben's Epic Metal Beginner Solo. I try to put as much feel into it as he does regarding techniques like vibrato, bending, hammer-ons and pull offs. In fact it does look like a very simple solo - but especially the first 36 seconds are quite difficult for me to play... As far as i can say - I'd like to combine techniques like legato or sweep within our current schedule. What do you think? yes! Those are the two techniques that I was thinking about when you said Buckethead! Let's start with this two lessons and let's do the same work as we are doing with the Alternate Picking exercises. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=42827 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=42852 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=43083 and please also, Land of legato I by Ben!

QUOTE (mad @ Jan 14 2013, 05:11 AM) Brilliant BUT: As I stated at the beginning of all this here, I need kinda practise-plan - and these are lots of routines, how long do you recommend practising each exercise? I mean, do I have to practise all of them every day? Well, I think that you are doing a great job with the AP exercises, so start in order, just with the first 4 or 5 exercises (when you feel comfortable or get bored add some other ones). Now, the new exercises/lessons combined with the AP that you are working should be your job for the next 15/20 days. Divide your time in 3 equal parts and practice: Part 1: Alternate Picking Part 2: Legato Part 3: Sweep Picking -------------------- My lessons

Here is my first recording for legato (if I go faster by now, it's starting to sound more sloppy)
https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/legatoday1-80bpm-1?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army I just took the first two patterns of Bens lesson. |

Short update on the Hands Synch-Lesson:
https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/hand-synch-60bpm I don't think I'll get it to full speed by the end of this month... but still a great improvement for me, as I definately wasn't able to play it at that speed a month ago
