Hey Gab, Sorry I haven't posted for a while I have still been struggling with some health issues which just means I can't practice as much as I want to. So many setbacks lately but I have finally managed to record a first take of the Bring Me the Horizon lesson. It's a far way off from perfection and its at 105bmp not full speed. I tried the other impulses you sent but it's still sounding terrible as you can hear in the lesson. I don't know what else to try!
Anyway I found this lesson quite difficult with these rhythm patterns and also I am having trouble with the pinched harmonics. Its not so much the pinch harmonics themselves, I can do these by themselves isolated but its going from the pinch harmonics to the palm muted part I find difficult which makes the pinch harmonics parts sound weak. I plan to learn a few more metalcore lessons(i started the day to remember one too) so I have then covered a few different rhythm styles, punk, stoner rock, the john frusciante lessons and now metalcore. Afterwards I would like to maybe come up with my own stuff.Maybe something for each style. What do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O6Ljge5v94 This post has been edited by philm: Feb 25 2015, 06:50 PM |

Hi Phil, could you please give me details on these things:
- How you connect your guitar to your computer. - Some print screens of the guitar channel inserts in Cubase. - Some print screens of the head amp and also of the cabinet simulator. If there is any other detail that can help me to decipher what's the problem with the tone please share it here. About your playing, I can note that the lesson is still giving many timing issues. It's not an easy lesson, it requires a big control of your right hand picking and palm muting. You know how to play all the riffs correctly, now it's time to polish each one. I note that you tend to play a bit before the beat most of the times, and that you are not comfortable playing 16th notes with palm muting at this tempo. My suggestion is to work at a slower tempo, and over each riff as a loop. You could open the slower backing track on Cubase and create loops for each riff to put all your focus on each ones at a time. You have around 6 parts/riffs so you can divide your practice and work on 3 riffs each day, and dedicate 30 minutes to each one. So your week would look like this: Day 1: Licks 1, 2 and 3. 3 x 30 minutes. Day 2: Licks 4, 5 and 6. 3 x 30 minutes. Day 3: Licks 1, 2 and 3. 3 x 30 minutes. Day 4: Licks 4, 5 and 6. 3 x 30 minutes. Day 5: Licks 1, 2 and 3. 3 x 30 minutes. Day 6: Licks 4, 5 and 6. 3 x 30 minutes. Day 7: New video! -------------------- My lessons

We got it!! The problem is the order or plug ins! You need to insert the amp before the cabinet emulation. This means, first lecto and then leCab. Please try it and let me know if it works ok now!

Hi Philm, good new videos! I also notice that these are evolving but there is still more work to do. Your right hand needs to be used to this movements. There is something that I'd like to mark on your technique and it's the fact that you are doing some fingers movement with your right hand while the best should be to focus the motion starting on your wrist. Try to make a block that starts from your wrist to make your picking stronger and I think that it will help to make it smoother and more precise. Compare your right hand with mine in the original lessons and you'll see what I mean.
Besides this VERY important thing to work, I think that everything is going ok, it's just a matter of time. I would isolate the different parts and work on 1 riff at a time as a loop to be able to think on the efficiency of your technique instead of the tune. Try it for 1 week and let me know the differences that you note. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Philm, great to know that you could get what I mean. Please continue working on these lessons this week having this in mind and keep me updated about your progress. New videos in around 4 days can be a good idea to let me check.

Hi Philm! thanks for this new update.
Both lessons are very similar and I can notice that you are at the same level with both. The two lessons has typical Metalcore rhythms and techniques so covering both is a good way to master this style. I think that your technique is evolving well with these ones and that you just need time of practice to be able to feel more comfortable with this and also to play them faster as it's required. There are some parts that are giving more trouble than others so it would be more effective to isolate the faster and trickier sections and work on them as a loop. This is much more effective than playing the whole thing over and over and it will help you to have more time to practice other stuff. There are some little differences in a part of each of the lessons comparing it with my playing / tabs. The first rhythm in ADTR lesson and the second part in BMTH are not totally perfect so please re-check the tabs. You are playing some extra note repetitions. -------------------- My lessons
