Gabriel Leopardi
Hello guys! In this funny thread about instructor's armies, ninjas, spies, secret conspiracies, and many other things that are happening in these GMC dark days ph34r.gif, I had the idea to start my own Army to join forces and create the most unique guitar players of the world.

The idea is to assign lessons every week directly related to your tastes, ability and weaknesses. Work on it, give you exercises and feedback to improve and master it. We will use the REC program to also get other instructor's feedback and also will join some collabs to work on theory and improvisation.

Is there any interested in being mentored by me to be part of this Army. I accept everybody that is interested, even spies that already belong to other armies. tongue.gif

Cool mate! You are more than welcome! smile.gif
Gitarrero
Since I'm a double-agent already I might as well become a triple-agent laugh.gif

So, I'd love to join and I think you already know that my favourite music is punk in all it's forms and I love writing my own punk stuff and recording SI lessons in the style of german bands....so maybe this gives us a good place to start smile.gif

I'll join as infantry recruit, I think that double-agent stuff might be too much for me

Cool mate!! Yeah, we have similar music taste so the journey will be amazing. I can also help you with the SI lessons. wink.gif

I'll start a new thread for any other the members of this Army as soon as I know how many interested we have...

Also.. you can write here some ideas that you have regarding this.. the goal would be to make something big together... so, please post here all the ideas and expectation no matter how dreamy they are... biggrin.gif

hahah ok! so I assume that you are in... ?
Gitarrero
An idea would be to make a Gab's Army song together, where everyone of your soldiers is involved in the songwriting and so on.
Dreamy stuff? We could form 1 or 2 Gab's Army bands that will record an entire album, fly to Argentina and be the supporting bands for a show headlined by Cirse biggrin.gif

haha I love it! smile.gif

Composing something together was one of my ideas.. I'd love to do it... so collabs or virtual bands should be a part of this army. Keep on the dreamy ideas coming! Nothing is impossible. smile.gif

Hi Ulrik! The army will officially begin tomorrow... I'll start a thread for every member and there we will work together. I have been planing how this army should work. At first we work on 1 lesson every week, that should be post in the REC, and we will choose 1 or 2 collabs to join. I also want to have Army's collabs and work on a full song composition of your own in your favourite style. These are the first thoughts about how the army will work.

By the way you could start preparing a text about you, with your influences, goals, gear, software used for recording, videos of you playing and any composition (if you have).

Is there any other user interested to join?

I hope it turns out OK man. Good luck with this

Hey, count me in!!

I've been working through Ben's Bushido class, which I've really enjoyed and actually feel like I've made significant progress just in my short time with him. My plan is to try and learn what I can from all of the different instructors here and I absolutely love the "free range" feel this site has but it's very nice to be able to go to these structured areas to really focus in. My personal opinion is that this is where progress can be made the quickest, at least for me.

Anyway, thanks for offering this Gabriel, I'm looking forward to it!! Let me know what you need from me. biggrin.gif
Gitarrero
This sounds really awesome Gabriel, you've got a great plan for your army!Looking forward to work on some new songs of my own with your help, I can't wait to get started biggrin.gif

Hi Greg! Thanks for joining! You are on the point! My idea is to help you with my stronger sides... that's why I want to direct the program mostly to technique and composing. I'll create your thread tomorrow and I'll send you a PM with the link. There we will discuss the direction of our job together. wink.gif

Well done Sensei. I won't invade your territory if you stay in peace, but be sure that I'll be preparing some of the most dangerous guitar players ever... this has been our first training day. ph34r.gif

Hey Gabe,

We conversed via PM but figured I should say here that I am now a loyal minion of Gabe's Army!! This is very exciting... and a tad scary as my playing isn't all it should be and I really need to figure out this video making stuff quickly as past attempts have not been very good LOL!!

But worst come to worst I can make cookies cool.gif tongue.gif laugh.gif

BUT I'm also very busy with work (and my kids if my wife is working as well smile.gif throughout the week and the weekends, so I hope there's a bit of slack if I can't make some assignments in time or at all sad.gif...

Hey Gabriel

Have you room in your army for one more.

I've asked permission from Sensei Ben to leave his Dojo. I am seeing him on a monthly basis instead to work on lead techniques as I was finding the weekly challenges to time consuming for me to get them to where I was happy.

I'd like to work on Rhythm work with you

While I like listening to bands like Story of The Year, Close Your Eyes, A Day to Remember, Rise Against etc I have no real experience playing it and working out the different rhythm guitar part that are layered, or composing similar tracks myself, though it is where I want to be.

Hey DeGroot and PosterBoy!! Welcome to the Army! smile.gif

Hey Mate i'd like to be a part of this if there is still room. Ben's Bushido was very good, but i didn't have enough time to smash out the weekly lessons and get them to a respectable level due to time constraints. But things are getting better now....

My Tastes.... Metal and Rock. Lead guitar is my main focus, so my weak point would be Heavy tasty rhythm's and composing an entire song. Also LEGATO is something i want to be good at.... And finding my way around the fretboard... would be my biggest issue. I'd like to be a good improviser one day....

The Artists i am into are: Andy James, Marco Sfogli, Nuno Bettencourt, Andy Timmons, Bullet for my Valentine EVH etc....
I need to focus in 1 direction instead of playing and learning 6 different things at once. In GMC level's i can do lvl4-5 and by the end of the year I would like to be a comfortable level 5 player and move into the lvl 6 world of awesomeness....

Thanks
