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.

Hi,Cosmin.
I tried to record Dm lesson in a slow temp without legato. I think I was focused more on a count than on a technic. When I played I counted one-two-three-four. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qfdid0qqfubkoww/Dm.m4a It is really unusual. And it is difficult too because the melody wants that I play triplets.

Hey mate - this is not bad at all - I can feel that you were not focused on technique, because there is a slight lack of coordination between your left and right hand Work on getting perfect coordination at this tempo, as I guess you are pretty much accustomed to the feeling of 16th notes at this tempo now - am I correct?Cosmin |

Well, work on the hand coordination and let's see a new take - deal?

Hi,Cosmin.
I did not write because I was learning the scale lessons and was not ready. I would not like to spend your time in vain. I finally have learned C scale lesson. It was really not easy. https://www.dropbox.com/s/043hwq4s67yrup6/a...e%20picking.m4a Now I am near from the results of my several works. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4k7vsj66w17ob9o/G...20Metal%203.m4a https://www.dropbox.com/s/mzk2ni4k7pfyrtd/G...20Metal%204.m4a (Skillet -awake and alive , Whispers in the dark and Disturbed-Indestructible) I am working on solos. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4znzdnzmgbva6pb/awake%206.m4a I tried to record double track (firstly - left and after right chanel) I know there are many mistakes but it is my first attempt. I am playing in a very slow temp I feel that I am close. About my visit to Romania. I could not to do it now but I will do it when I will take a vacation. I want it very much. I missed you

Hi,Cosmin.
I'm not lost, just had nothing to show. I know that was not a good idea to record the things which I am not ready technically to play at the present time. But I thought that it would be like a test when I can compare my levels. It is more important to focus on your tasks(lessons). And I do it but sometimes I play different things to be more interesting. I make experiments with different sounds to understand how it works. I found out that the most appropriate gain for my guitar is 9 or 10 o'clock otherwise it is overgain. Also I got Ibanez TS 808 and I try to use it. I set on tone in 12-14 o'clock,level 15-18 o'clock and overdrive - 7 o'clock(0) I could not find the source with normal back tracks but I will find out. I found this and recorded without solo : https://www.dropbox.com/s/uixszbf4vgk4pzh/awake%208.m4a I know that the time will come and I play what I want.

Hey mate
This is much better! Both tone and playing wise! Good timing and definition, balance and playing with the drums! Please focus on the lessons now, in order to get them straight and we'll see what's next Cosmin QUOTE (pavelducati @ Oct 28 2013, 01:56 PM) Hi,Cosmin. I'm not lost, just had nothing to show.
