HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* 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?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi bucket! Welcome to our thread for Gab's Army.
I will share here your info to have it as reference: "I've been working on two GMC lessons the past few , Your In Flames lesson, and Darius Wave's Alternate Picking Workout 2 and after spending about three hours on each of them I can play them at the slowest backing track speed with a couple mistakes(I clearly need to spend a lot more time on them before they're in any presentable shape). days Lessons of that level are about as simple as I can get in terms of my interests(simpler lessons really bore me) but higher level lessons prove fairly difficult for me. I don't have much theory knowledge. I know most of the open chord shapes but not all of them. The only scale shape I'm very familiar with is the first octave of the major scale, the one with the fingering 2-4/1-2-4/1-3-4(used in the aforementioned alternate picking lesson). I have a very limited amount of time to practice each day because of my job(maybe two hours max, and that's really optimistic) and I would really appreciate some guidance on how to use that time to its fullest. In terms of my goals, I want to be a very well rounded musician, but my primary long term goal is to be able to perform and write interesting instrumental compositions (things like Dream Theater's "Erotomania" or this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt8JpGLtpGY). I honestly don't know what my short term goals should be though, and would like some guidance on how to get there." You have a very defined long term goal that will be our target for the future works. We need to work on your technique, as well as some theory to develop your composition skills. DT music is very advanced but there are some basics that you need to learn in order to be able to analyze their music and create your own ideas in that progressive metal style. The journey is not short but I think that you should be able to compose your first prog metal tunes in around 5 months if you work 2 hours every day on technique and some theory and scales. I was thinking on a routine like this one for the first week: Warming up (7 minutes) http://youtu.be/1XsLRQFV7rY https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Arpeggios/ Alternate Picking (30 minutes) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Altern...king-Workout-2/ Rhythm (30 minutes) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/In-Flames-Style-Lesson/ Scale work (30 minutes) Module 1 What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

This sounds great to me.
Just one question, for the scale work(module 1) should I try to get through both the week #1 and week #2 lessons this week? |

QUOTE (thebucket86 @ Jan 10 2015, 12:02 PM)  This sounds great to me. Just one question, for the scale work(module 1) should I try to get through both the week #1 and week #2 lessons this week? Below the lesson notes you will find a link to watch the Vchat in which I explain the concepts and tasks that you have to do to master them. If you feel that you can work on 2 weeks in one, go for it! The modules are divided in weeks but it off course depends on each guitarist. Please keep me update during the week. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Thanks for this update! It is really cool to see you working and focused. Lessons always have a parts that give more problems than others and that's where you have to make more emphasis. Isolate the sections that need more work and work on them. Try to discover why the part is giving your problems, think on it, check your hands, your motions and try to find out what you can do to make a more effective use of your technique.
About the scales work, great decision! Feel free to share some recordings of your practice and share it here.

Hi friend! Welcome back. Thanks for the report. About the recordings, you can share audio files, or you can share videos directly recorded with your cellphone or webcam, without any edition, just upload it to youtube.
Do you think it's possible? -------------------- My lessons
