Hey Gabriel!
Hope you are doing good, here is a new take of melody workout. https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/melody-workout-g-d-em-c-take-2 EDIT: I also wanted to add triplet timing tries because it was long time since last take https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/80-bpm-8th-triplets"]https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/80-bpm-8th-triplets and https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/80-bpm-8th-triplets-take-2"]https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/80-bpm...triplets-take-2 This post has been edited by HiimAlex: Aug 2 2015, 08:12 PM |

Hi Alex, nice take. Your phrasing is getting tastier!
There are some moments where the silences are a bit long but other than that I can say that you are doing a very good job exploring and creating with this scale. I like how the phrases evolved, but I would like to hear something like this with shorter silences. What do you think? The other two files are not working... did you delete them? -------------------- My lessons

How was your Tour with Cirse?? Do you think we can go for new backing and I will have shorter silences in next take? It would be cool if you can recommend me a new backing The files should be fixed now, The first 10 seconds is out of timing. https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/80-bpm-8th-triplets https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/80-bpm-8th-triplets-take-2 This post has been edited by HiimAlex: Aug 3 2015, 06:58 PM |

Hi Alex! The tour was really good. We had more audience than the previous times we've played on this city and we could do 2 gigs.
This is a cool backing in E major that I've found: A cool guitar tone with some sustain will fit great over it. Something around Timmons and Satriani. About the timing workout, triplets are not tight yet. I think that working at a slower tempo could be a good idea. What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gabriel!
Great to hear it was a successful tour What a wonderful backing! Should I use E Major Pentatonic or E Major scale or any other scale? Yes let's go for a slower tempo.

Yes let's go for a slower tempo. You can play E pentatonic major and E major over this one. The chord progression is E - B - C#m - A -------------------- My lessons

Hey Mate!!
 I am back with new stuff. Unfortunately no videos this time because it got dark outside when I practiced and my lightning isn't so good. https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/70-bpm-8th-note-triplets https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/90-bpm-8th-notes-1 https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/beginners-corner-20-take-6 This take of the beginner solo isn't so good, I think the rhythm is better but I did not managed to get it in sync with backing. https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/melodic-workout-e-cm-b-a Tell me what you think about this idea, I am not 100% sure about it. Thank you Gabriel for being my mentor, it is such a pleasure to work with you

Hi Alex! thanks for your words! I'm really glad to know that you are enjoying this journey together.
I've checked your stuff and I can say that slowly your timing is getting better, but you have to continue the hard work! The triplets are really close at 80 bpm, but the 8th notes at 90 bpm show important problems. Keep working on this. The beginners corner solo starts really well! Your playing is nice there, and the phrases are played with the right timing. However, starting at 00:37, you lose timing and you never get back so pay attention starting from there. The melodic workout starts really well! Your phrasing is really nice until around 00:28 where you play some wrong notes. Please keep working on this! -------------------- My lessons

I'd like to add 10 minutes of practice dedicated to each of these techniques:
- Alternate Picking - Bending - Vibrato This would mean 30 extra minutes of practice, and will have a big immpact in your playing on the current solo sections. Is it possible? -------------------- My lessons
