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.

If so, a healthy 2hrs30 min or even 3 hrs a day practice schedule, would be ideal! I would leave aside point 3, for now and focus on points 1,2 and 4 Point 1 - 1 hr - 30 minutes for each as a warm up and trying to get as close as possible to the original speed while staying true to timing, clean playing and interpretation. Point 2 - pick ONE song and work on it each day till you finish it You will get there MUCH faster this way Point 4 - take 30 minutes to try out new things and maybe 30 minutes for recording the stuff you have practiced at points 1 and 2. Maybe even a whole hour for recording if it feels more difficult. This is how I'd do it What do you think? Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If it doesn't feel that awesome, we'll try something else. Leaving sports as a pro, or not doing sports at all - I think that sport and physical activity are very important mate - they set a very healthy mental and physical state for anyone and this is reflected in their way of life You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I spent 2-3 hrs everyday for training more than 10 years. But now it is impossible. I sleep only 5-6 hrs a night and my day schedule is very tight. But I hope in 2-4 months I will return to gym.

You lose the rhythm there, when you shift! Try to focus on the shifts to make them in good timing, ok? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The riffage is very good I like the punch and tone, but even if the solo is not that tight, I can feel definite progress Have a bit more patience with the solo and you will be there! Patience is the essence Don't worry, just keep practicing and you will definitely get there with the legato as well It's still a little bit more work with the shifts when changing position. did you try to play it slower and focus on those shifts?
