QUOTE (ElHombre @ Mar 25 2013, 08:44 AM)  Hi Gab I am back again  You want to help me make a schedule for theory practicing? So I will be working with caged now. Chords, major scale, pentatonics How much time and how is the best way to pratice it? Hi mate, sure! I want to help you to build an effective routine! I don't think that you have to work too many time per day on sales and theory in general. If you do it for 1 (or maybe 2) hour every day of the week is enough. The best way for practicing is dividing your time to work focusing on one thing per time. For example you can divide your hour in 15 minutes - Chords work, 15 minutes - Scales work, 15 minutes - Intervals, triads, 15 minutes - Creative work. Remember these items to know what things you have to work/learn for being a good improviser. - Learn & practice Pentatonic scales - Learn major & minor scales - Learn triads & arpeggios - Practice scale sequences - Learn licks from your favorite players - Learn and analyze solos - Learn modes & some uncommon scales - Play random notes to experiment with scales and incorporate the characteristic sound (over backing tracks) - Improvise! -------------------- My lessons

It sounds good mate. Do you know the triads? This is a very good approach to practice scales and find the triads:

I'm not a Fusion player but I think that I can help you to master each topic on the list. Let's paste it here: 1. Side Stepping - Playing Am7-Bbm7-Am7 over Am7 2. Tritone Stepping - Playing Am7-Ebm7-Am7 over Am7 3. 3 and 4 Note Per String Scales 4. Adding chromatic passing notes to scales, especially mixing b3, b5 and 7 over 7th chords, and b5 and 7 over m7 chords 5. Triad Pairs - Playing C and D over C7 for example 6. Altered Pentatonic Scales - Playing 7b9 Pents for example over 7th chords 7. Modes of Melodic Minor - Using these modes as a first choice sound rather than major modes 8. Extended Arpeggios to 9th, 11th and 13th over any chord 9. Legato Techniques ala Holdsworth 10. Chromatic chords such as Am7-Bbm7-Bm7 all over Am7 -------------------- My lessons

yes, CAGED system is great to understand the fret board and every scale and chord can be related to this system. Arpeggios, triads, chords and scales should be connected to this system. This makes the learning process easier. For example, if you know G major in one position and you want to play G maj7th, you just have to take the octave and move it to the 7th major. This same things can be done with every chord.

Hi mate. I think that it's enough by now, at least regarding improvisation and jazz. Besides that you would do some technique work and just playing guitar for fun, jamming and creating music.

Hey mate! I was very surprised when everything became so aggressive. I like the piano melody and I also enjoyed a lot the powerful riffs and the use of chord that remembers me a bit to Opeth. I think that the idea goes great! Keep on working on it and please share more samples of the progress.

QUOTE (ElHombre @ Apr 23 2013, 08:03 AM) Hey Gab, im doing some pentatonic training too, need to brush that up. I take the 1-4-5 progression, 3 chords, 3 pentatonics and jam pentatonics over each chord and train licks/patterns Anything else you can do over this progression? Alex feather my former mentor talked about combining pentatonics and stuff You can also use Dominant arpeggios of each chords, or Mixolydian mode of each chord. Some ideas for practising in A (for example) Exercise 1: A: Pentatonic Minor D: D Mixolydian E: E Mixolydian Exercise 2: A: A Mixolydian D: A Pentatonic Minor E: A Pentatonic Minor Exercise 3: A: A Mixolydian D: D Mixolydian E: E Mixolydian -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (ElHombre @ May 4 2013, 07:59 AM) Hey Gab What are you currently working with? And are you self-taught or have you studied at any schools? Cheers Hi mate. I'm currently working on the new album from my band and having many gigs. I'm also working on lessons and some special things for GMC, practising at every moment I can. Two guys from some important bands here called me to record an album on a Metalcore side project. I studied with many teachers and a lot by my own. I started with an instructor that shared Berckley method, then a bluesy guy who introduced me to blues and rock improvisation, a shredder who helped me studying guitarists like Malmsteen, Petrucci, Kotzen, Gilbert, Blues Saraceno, then I studied Improvisation with a more Jazz oriented teacher who was graduated in Berckley Boston, then I studied more about Harmony, Counterpoint and Composition with another teacher who plays jazz guitar and composed music for Orquesta. -------------------- My lessons
