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 hope so too, because there's nothing more annoying than being cold during summer ... http://youtu.be/Qzeavf2MrK0 Here is the video Cosmin, there is a mistake in a couple parts, I played it so many times that I overthought it  but It really helped with me learning how to bend to pitch.

I say, there is a big, big progress happening man! Congrats! You still had a few, just a few which were a bit under the pitch, but generally, my suggestion is to work on making things sound more natural, because, at this point, you are technically correct in 90% of the situations but there is a big lack of flow - so this would be the next step. Now, I have 2 ideas: 1) You push this one a bit further on its own 2) You push this one and start learning a second one, in order to keep the diversity present. What'll it be, sir?  Cosmin |

See? It got embedded here
 You solved the problem, so let's continue our journey?This lesson is basically a very raw bending based one, I want you to focus on the attitude and bends - it will help you build a lot of confidence in your playing, as it is simple and yet it pushes your interpretative skills further! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bend-E...chnique-Lesson/ What do you think?

QUOTE (Hajduk @ Aug 14 2013, 09:08 AM) Thanks Cosmin would love a new lesson And thank you for the pointers. I notice the same things you pointed out especially when I watch my video playbacks that comes from having a great instructor that I can see and hear my mistakes Thank you again, I have been putting a minimum of 2 hours a day of practice sometimes up to 4 and I know with good instruction like yours I will get a lot better.Thanks for your kind thoughts again, Tom! Well, as I said, this is a lengthier process, because it's something that the body learns in time and it takes a bit more time than other techniques, simply because it's not something that's purely mechanical. Be patient and it will be there Now for a new experience, how about this one? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginner-Summer-Tune/ You need to focus on touch here, more than ever It is a fine piece and it will require your attention and finesse!

I read your thing on the rec take and its funny I actually do play over the song I'm working on and match it note for note I know a part of it is still a bit nervous when being recorded (will get over that soon) and technique needs work. I do plan on doing rec takes as much as I can, love the feedback even if I don't do that well. Thank you for all your help, cant wait to start this lesson, one more question! How much of my time should I devote to a piece, I average about 2 hours a day practice?Hey also notice he is using a circular motion on the vibrato and bends!! Would love to also understand how to use the metronome on a piece like this, When I practice for speed it seems simple but for some reason when there are lots of rests I get lost, seems silly I know but any pointers would be great.
