QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Nov 15 2013, 08:58 AM) Hey mate! Got the input data  and here's what I think we can start with from Monday to Sunday (18-24 November)In Day 1 - 4 -> Spending 4 hrs/ lesson (1 hrs each day) in which you should: - understand the theoretical concepts - learn the lesson structure - learn each part and reproduce it slowly with the metronome - put all the parts together and practice them against the slowest available backing track - work your way up tempo with the available backing tracks This week's lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Stamin...-2-Downpicking/ Day 5 - Revision (you practice the lesson, assuming you that you already know the structure and you can play it) - focus on timing, definition, clean playing, articulations and details! Day 6 - You can take a break from this lesson and start exploring (listening to it and seeing what you need to prepare in order to start working on it) this one a bit, so that you will be prepared for the next week: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Time-To-Gallop/ Day 7 - Revision and recording - if you wish - and writing conclusions so that we may draw a line and see what have you learned in that How does it sound mate? I Chose only one lesson because I thought that your time is pretty limited and I would rather have you master one lesson than tackle two and master non All the best! Cosmin Update: I'm going to make a video of Stamina School downpicking soon. I'm up to being able to do it with the 190bpm backing track (I warm up at lower speeds). I have not tried the gallop one yet. |

Hey Cosmin,
* How long have you been playing the guitar? Been playing for 5 years now. * What do you feel your current level is? I feel like I'm at the high end of intermediate, and with a bit of practice, could push that a little higher * What sort of theoretical knowledge do you have so far? I'm pretty good with music theory, I played clarinet before guitar, so I have a bit of musical experience there. * How much time/day can you spend practicing? About 2 hours/day on average. Give or take depending on my schedule. * What are your favorite techniques? Not using a pick, like Mark Knopfler. String skipping Natural and pinch harmonics * What would you like to improve? Sweep picking in particular, also learning more advanced chords found in jazz in particular. * What is your current experience as a player (band, studio, home)? I've mostly been a solo player. I've been involved in a few bands, I've been part of a musical production. I've been working on my recording skills for the past year and a half. * What gear do you own? I have a custom guitar made by my local guitar store. Here's a link I run my own pedalboard through a PA speaker. I have a Sansamp kind of thing to take care of amps. Hopefully though, very soon I will have an 'actual' guitar amp. I record music on Studio One * Name a few favorite artists that inspire your playing Porcupine Tree TesseracT Mogwai Buckethead RHCP Yes |

How does this all sound, man? Cosmin Alright! Thanks very much, I'll start looking at those lessons. I still don't have a guitar tuned in Drop A, the lowest I have at the moment is in Drop C. Is it gonna be okay if I pitch the backing track up 3 semitones? |

* How long have you been playing the guitar?
Since 15, I'm 19. * What do you feel your current level is? 6 (GMC level) * What sort of theoretical knowledge do you have so far? I know lots of theory on paper, if that makes sense but on the fretboard I need to think a bit before I Harmonize a major scale mode with arpeggios or triads, for example. * How much time/day can you spend practicing? No worries about this. I got plenty of time. * What are your favorite techniques? I love all techniques. It's my goal to master them all. Please see my favorite artists as this might help with this answer. * What would you like to improve? Overall Technique. Again, "Please see my favorite artists as this might help with this answer." * What is your current experience as a player (band, studio, home)? I've played live, I have a couple of students and I have bunch of songs that are on hold because I want to work a bit more on my chops and licks. * What gear do you own? Fender Strat. Eric Johnson; Kemper Rack; Schecter Hellraiser FR; Schecter She-Devil FR. * Name a few favorite artists that inspire your (GUITAR) playing Paul Gilbert, Guthrie Govan, Andy James, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, SRV, Synyster Gates, Robbie Calvo, Frank Gambale and Alex Hutchings. I want to improve my overall technique so I can post some covers of well known solos or instrumental tracks on YouTube and even more important, to record great solos on my originals (that I intend to record this year) . It's the best way to push myself and to learn new licks and ideas. This post has been edited by miguelbatalha: Jan 6 2014, 10:43 AM -------------------- Youtube - youtube.com/miguelbatalhamusic

Hey man
So, I understood your needs and here's what I think:Let's aim for accomplishing 2 lessons/ week, each one being based on a different technique. Due to the wide variety of your musical tastes, most likely we will be dealing with multiple techniques, but in respect to your time as well, I think that the most important would be the following: - alternate picking - legato - tapping - articulation elements So, one week has a focus on two of them and the other on the other two - at the end of each month you should have 8 lessons, recorded and played as well as possible. What do you think? Is it too much? If everything is cool with that, I would dare to share the first 4 alongside with some tips for dividing your time and approach on the matter: In Day 1 - 4 -> Spending 8 hrs/ lesson (4 hrs each day) in which you should: - understand the theoretical concepts - learn the lesson structure - learn each part and reproduce it slowly with the metronome - put all the parts together and practice them against the slowest available backing track - work your way up tempo with the available backing tracks Day 5 - Revision (you practice the lessons, assuming you that you already know the structure and you can play them) - focus on timing, definition, clean playing, articulations and details! Day 6 - You can take a break if you wish smile.gif There's always a good time to break away from something you are studying and refresh your mind and spirit with something else. I usually take a day a week in which I do not touch the guitar - this is up to you and by that, I mean, try it, see if it proves useful and if not, let me know Day 7 - Revision and recording - if you wish - and writing conclusions so that we may draw a line and see what have you learned - be honest to yourself and your progress will occur! How does this all sound, man? Here are the first 4 lessons: Alternate picking - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ernate-workout/ Legato - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato-3/ Tapping - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ythmic-tapping/ Articulation - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey-3/ Cosmin |
