Good point! Yes, this usually happens to me with GMC lessons. Sometimes things look easy but aren't or at least are trickier than it seems. Now I remember that this happened to me with some Emir lessons, that I said, ok this sounds cool, and seems to be easy, let's learn it quickly, and there was something behind the string changing and fingerings that made it difficult. He tricked me!!
 Did this happen to you with any lesson? -------------------- My lessons

But, to be honest, you could've nailed my solo lesson IF you would've taken the time to practice it thoroughly  And you know what I am talking about  Am I wrong?QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ May 13 2014, 12:12 PM) Good point!

Of course - one of Stephane's lessons - a funky fusion one which I liked and I said 'Hey, let's learn this one and enrich my funky fusion vocabulary!' It took a little bit more than expected But as time goes by, you get a 6th sense for figuring out how well things are going to roll when learning something and there's one more aspect involved  If you REALLY like a piece, you will learn it FASTER! Did it happen to you?

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ May 14 2014, 11:49 AM) The thing we should remember is that everything is composed according to how someone else places their fingers on the fretboard. There will be things that you guys do that I won't feel comfortable with and vice versa. It's not always a question of skill, sometimes it's just people are playing stuff that is totally in their comfort zone because that's their style. Excellent comment. This is exactly what's happening and the reason why we don't feel comfortable with some fingering and licks that others find natural. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 16 2014, 10:15 AM) This could be a great exercise to untangle our brain and head/hands coordination from time to time, although, I am usually a big fan of playing the positions which suit my style and abilities, rather than trying other ones who might not be ok for me. How do you guys like to approach things? You take it as it is or play it your way, aiming for the same sounds? In my case, when I work on GMC lessons, I try to play everything as it's suggested by the instructor at first. Maybe a position that I'm not used can bring something new to my playing. Then I work on variations to make the riffs of my own, if not, I feel that the lesson doesn't add anything into my playing. -------------------- My lessons
