Hey there Tucker!
glad to know you decided to enter the RING
Instead of writing me a PM, you can write about yourself in this thread, which is your personal space
Looking forward to start out
Cosmin
Hello good sir!
Cosmin man, again thank you for affording me the opportunity to have personal interaction, real feedback, and ability to grow my playing -and- creative skills with your influence. I like so many types of music, anything from tribal grunting chants, to Mozart, to the Police, I guess what matters to me is how the melody makes me feel, if my brain likes it, its good music....LOL! Anyway, you have a very appealing quality in your musical expression; both in your style of play, and in the melodies that flow from your creative focus. Your ability to combine those qualities gives your music -synergy- my friend!:D Most hard working musicians have an element of talent, but few have synergy.
I'm not saying this just to make you feel good, I say this because it is true, and I want to have a synergy in my playing some day, and having an instructor that blasts out synergy in drop D like a beast, is such a blessing!!
My gear as of right now (I'm broke from school) is an Ibanez Gio, Les Paul shaped guitar, I love it
Stage 6 13 watt amp, big Crate 2 speaker amp that sounds pretty mean, and I recently bought a Korg ToneWorks AX30B...lol, which is for a bass, I'm such a dork
haha! Other than that I have a few guitar cords, a tuner, string winder, and 2 Dimebag Darrel Riffer Madness books.
I used to play some, never advanced far, but I played enough that by nature I can play decent rhythm guitar, and pick. However, I just came on fire a few weeks ago, and man I want to play for real, play better, and play what I want. My motivation believe it or not is inward. I don't have any desire to be famous, or legendary, for that matter even be in a band...I want to play because the way it makes me feel man
Is that a good motivation, what do you think?
To be great you need to have bigger dreams?
I very much want to improve my technical skills Cosmin, my knowledge of music and guitar etc...I don't want to just focus on becoming a fantastic technical player, but I want those skills
Fro example: I know 6 chords: a, g, e, f, d, c,a-minor. I can play bar chords all the way up the fret board, and lots of power chords. I just do not know what they are...
...my muscle memory is somewhat developed, lol I can play level 4 riffs, but what key is it in, I do not know
lol
Ok my friend, next week I will be able to get some of the gear I need to make a video. If you would like man, let me know what things I should include, so you can get a good idea of where I am at.
Much is improvement needed lol
Ah man, Metal Metrics 5, I've been working it the past couple days and almost have it smoothed out. Gah, I love the part where the rythm slows down, and becomes the pure essence of what hard core is!
lol
Once again, thanks man, ttys!
Please Let me know any info you would like from me, or any questions you would like to ask, so you can get me going in the right direction
Btw, I enjoyed the video session man
