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 begin to think the way you like. A couple days ago I began to learn one thing by Yngwie Malmlsteen. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0gqc0maahy4d32w/Y...0Malmlsteen.pdf I have learnt it in a very slow temp. Remembering your words, I began to play very slowly, trying to play purely. There is something like you say in that piece of music. And for play that thing I should use legato. I will be waiting eagerly your new exercise to start learning legato technic. )) This post has been edited by pavelducati: Dec 19 2013, 07:20 PM -------------------- Best wishes,

Even at the slow tempo? I would love to see a recording and in respect to legato - I was thinking about this lesson, in particular: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato/ - Ben's lessons on this topic are top notch! Focus on making the notes sound even and at the same volume, even if you will be playing it a a slower tempo ok?

Hi,Cosmin.
As I promised : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ohd3kch87vq5lke/Y...0Malmlsteen.mp3 It's terrible. I am not ready but I am working on it. Today I started to work on your legato lesson.  In parallel I am working on new covers. I am not far from appropriate performance. There are many mistakes but I see it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/471gnnkf5a9fsmx/awake.mp3 I am a little tired here https://www.dropbox.com/s/5e00rt01bhwhuhn/awake%202.mp3 I will correct This post has been edited by pavelducati: Dec 22 2013, 10:07 AM -------------------- Best wishes,

Hi,Cosmin.
Thanks a lot. I was a little busy. I decided a little to distract from the lessons and recorded my second cover. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/6956432c00dc/L...%20me%20die.mp3 I am working on the exercise in parallel.

Hello mate
 I listened and as usual - your riffing is good! In the main riff you could make things sound a bit more articulate as there are a few notes that are a bit unclear. Otherwise, that little riff around 2.35 which accompanies the drum fill is a bit muddy and that's all I can observe so far Good work mate! How are the other things you are working on faring so far?QUOTE (pavelducati @ Dec 28 2013, 10:34 AM) Hi,Cosmin. Thanks a lot. I was a little busy.

Hi,Cosmin.

Slow practice and strong confidence will get ya there! Keep rocking mate, you are on the good path!

Hi,Cosmin.
It looks simply but it's not. I feel a tension in my fingers. I hope I will be ready soon. https://www.dropbox.com/s/oxw7hiwnynvzvgd/Legato%202.mp3 -------------------- Best wishes,

Hi,Cosmin.
I started to play things which I like. And it spends a lot of time. And I like it. I hear my mistakes and not enough good technic and this makes me more inspired. Sometimes I go to bed but can't sleep. I hear some melodies in my mind and I want to get up and begin playing. I have to schedule a time now. I spend nearly two hours a day for the guitar playing. I think that one hour I will do exercises and rest time for playing some covers. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wgpcsvn55n5knkq/Hero%206.mp3 About legato lesson. I did not play one day to relax my hands and today I feel much better but my playing is not enough good. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6z86jnuiayuxrvn/Legato%204.mp3 -------------------- Best wishes,
Paul |
