hey Michael! Glad you decided to join and honored that you have chosen me biggrin.gif

Let's see smile.gif we can tackle everything you would like and since you can use drop D, I say let's try and see how the lessons sound in drop D smile.gif

This here is your thread and you can post anything you'd like, so vids with the lessons recorded in different tunings from the original ones are accepted wink.gif

Your journey is a long one and it's filled with wonderful things - I would say we can divide the schedule between rhtyhm, lead and theory. All these have much more inside but this is how I see it. Have you thought of anything in particular when you said 2 years?

all the best mate

I have been focusing on theory and technique mostly. Trying to learn the notes up and down the neck. Trying to learn to listen to different parts.

I have been working on vibrato and my timing. I play with a metronome a lot. Many times when I turn the video on is when I get nervous and loose concentration. I want everything to be perfect so the smallest mistake I let it get to me. I am working on that also, trying to not be so "perfect" as I know that comes in time.

The one area I really struggle with is tying phrases together. The neo-classical lesson helped with a little of that although I got caught up in the pattern more than learning what notes I was playing or what chords they were over.

So where do we go from here?

Your video lessons are at 3PM to 4:30PM my time Eastern USA. That is when I am at work. I know I am going to miss a lot. Any suggestions on how to work through this? I can go over the notes in the evening when I get home.

Thanks!
Cosmin Lupu
Hey Michael,

You can check out the lesson notes of course, but I was thinking that maybe we could work on concepts which tie theory and phrasing together. Recording a LOT will eventually make the camera emotions go away wink.gif what do you think mate?

Sounds great. The weather was not too bad this morning so I pulled out the acoustic and practiced on back porch for about an hour. Going out with the wife for a little while and then will practice some on the electric. Any special lesson you want me to review or start working on? If not, I will keep on my normal routine today. Thanks!
Michael AC
This is what I practiced Sunday:

(Morning)
1 hr: Acoustic guitar, chords, few scales and just playing around.

(Evening)
5 min Warm-up with C Major scale up and down neck. Includes patterns using 1, 3, 5; 1, 3, 5, 7 over each chord in the scale

Warm-up exercises: 10 min
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Arpegg...rkshop-Level-1/
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...-marcus-siepen/ (Exercise 1 and 3)

Lessons: 10 min
Worked on timing by revisiting REC video and playing http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/neocla..._for_beginners/

Free play: 1 hr
Worked on various rhythm patterns using octaves, palm muting, galloping, bending to pitch, 2 string inverted chords.
Tuned down to Drop D and played around with different chord progressions and adding small accents or notes.

Just had a relaxing day.

Plan for Monday evening is open for suggestions. Looking for the next lesson to tackle. Was thinking about

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Vinnie...yle-patterns-1/

or

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Variat...in_C_Minor_pt1/

What do you think? Maybe something different?




Cosmin Lupu
Hey Michael! The practice schedule looks good! The two lessons are very good for tackling and I think you can add some ear training to your practice, man! Tell me have you ever tried it? It will do a ton of good on your playing!

let me know and I can hint you a bit in that direction

I bought some ear training CD's called Learning Perfect Pitch a while ago. It helped some, but having to sing the notes really caused me problems. I still do exercises when I have my son play a note and I attempt to guess the note. I also play a note myself and imagine in my head where it is on the neck then I say the note. If I am wrong I correct myself and try again.

I am very open if you have other methods as I know this will help a lot! My vocal range is very small (and flat), I would never make a backup singer!!!!

To let you know the music I like to listen too and would like to be able to play someday on my journey:

http://grooveshark.com/s/Traces+Of+Grace/3pwfS0?src=5
http://grooveshark.com/s/Wisdom/3pwfJW?src=5

Ultimately in 5 years: http://grooveshark.com/s/De+Machina+Est+Deo/3pwfNa?src=5

I like this type of orchestral rock...the pic of you playing with that orchestra actually inspired me to practice even more.

If there are things here that are not helpful let me know, I just figured the more you know about what I am doing the better you can help direct me. Let me know if I go overboard on info! biggrin.gif

We did not get anywhere in a discussion yet other than you asking if I had done any ear training...Your board is busy I do not see how you are going to be able to keep up! LOL!
Cosmin Lupu
Hey Michael wink.gif you're dealing with Wolverine here wink.gif right? Hehe! My friend, I would recommend a first exercise:

- as each interval must remind you of something, attach that sound to the interval in cause and always keep it in your mind wink.gif the idea is that in this way, your musical mempry will be triggered MUCH faster than usual
- sing and play in the same time. each interval in respect to it's tonic
- the next step would be to play the tonic and sing the interval biggrin.gif

Please try this and let me know how it goes! Let's start with the C major scale, ok?

Yeah was a rough weekend! Planning on recording on Friday since I am off work!
Michael AC
Tuesday Evening: 2 hr practice

Warm-up with Lesson reviews:
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ - 4 times
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/neocla..._for_beginners/ - 4 times

Lessons:
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Vinnie...yle-patterns-1/
complete progression several times. Also alternated and played the rhythm parts although it is not part of the lesson to let my hand rest between runs.

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Variat...in_C_Minor_pt1/
Worked on first 8 measures several times. Focusing on bends. Having a little trouble with vibrato when a note is bent a whole step.

Time for rest... smile.gif

Will do more ear training tomorrow.
Cosmin Lupu
Michael, I congratulate you for the fact that you are into so many lessons and you are practicing regularly, but I got one question: How accurate are your renditions of these lessons? You know, it would be far better to tackle fewer lessons and making them sound rock solid!

Let me know

The lessons I list as review have already been completed in REC and passed. I just like them as warm-ups and to continue to help me feel confident.

The only active lesson I am focusing on is the Vinnie Moore patterns. I plan on recording it for REC sometime this weekend. The one last night I just gave it a try to see if I could do it...I think I can so it will be my next lesson after I pass Vinnie... biggrin.gif

Here it is biggrin.gif

Cosmin Lupu
hey Mike!

this take is shaping up very nicely! I like it and to make it better, you should focus a bit on timing as you tend to slightly but VERY slightly slip behind the track wink.gif and also, take care of the right hand movement which is a bit too wriggly if you get my idea. Move it lesser and you will gain more stamina wink.gif

Will ya shoot another one, focusing on these two aspects? biggrin.gif

I will work on the timing but not sure on the movement. Since I am skipping strings how can I move my right hand less? Do I need to make my hand more stiff?

Edit: I went back to the original video and watched his hand movements and I am still not getting it? Anyway you can explain it? Thanks!

Hey Michael! When I say less, I mean that at this point your movements are pretty loose, meaning that after more practicing and focusing on becoming more economic in your right hand movements, you will eventually decrease the amplitude of your pick strokes biggrin.gif there! That sounded so scientific biggrin.gif let me know if I am being clear, k?

I think I get it...I noticed that on some of the string skipping my hand rolls a little more (pivots). I tried to focus on keeping that tighter with more precision but I found my arm tensing up and not being relaxed. Will work more on it tonight.

Hey...went to record tonight and it sucked...really frustrated. Been going over and over this and thought I had my hand movements tighter, but when recording tonight and watching the video, not much changed, strings were buzzing and it just sounded like crap.

Guess one of those days...will give it another try tomorrow night...sorry it is taking so long. mad.gif

Just trying to focus on timing and this lesson. I have also been playing around with the driving collab...but not sure if I can get something recorded in time...but is a great experience! Also some more ear training.

Thanks for your encouragement...guess I really let it get to me last night... biggrin.gif
Cosmin Lupu
Michael, believe me man, I have days when I start wondering if I know how to play the guitar laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
Cosmin Lupu
Hey Mike, what happened to you man? sad.gif

The take is good, aside from some timing issues, small but noticeable. I think you should get it out of your system for now, as it's a good thing for you to diversify a bit smile.gif

I would go for something melodic and articulation oriented, if you would like it too? smile.gif

And about vocal lessons, they will probably change your life man smile.gif go for it!

Cosmin
Michael AC
Cosmin I have been out sick for a while...

Here is another take on the Vinnie Moore lesson. I think it is better than the last one. Over the past two weeks of playing it I have not seen much change. I loaded this to the REC also.

A friend of mine gave me some vocal warmup exercises to go with the ear training I am doing. Seems to help.

talk to you later.

You are right I need to move on and come back to this.

Alright then, what do you think about this one:

Still working on the lesson. The 2nd half in the upper register is taking me longer to be smooth. My fat fingers are not used to being in that area.

Will update you later this week.

biggrin.gif

Great Michael smile.gif think about it man, it doesn't matter how fat or skinny one's fingers are biggrin.gif look at Michael Romeo for instance, Johny Hiland or Shawn Lane!

Keep it up!
