Hi! I am very happy that you have decided to join!!!
And looking forward to start giving you ear training assignments!
Here is a few questions!
-What are your goals?
-What is your weakness?
-What is your strongest point?
-Your favorite guitar players?
Wow, these are a lot of hard questions
1.- My goals:
1.1.- Ear training:
1.1.1.- Short term: Being able to distinguish the chords within a song. Being able to figure out simple melodies with some legato techniques.
1.1.2.- Medium term: Being able to distinguish chord embellishments and more complex melodies.
1.1.3.- Long term: Being able to play whatever i have in my head
1.2.- Guitar playing: Have some fun and being able to play cover songs from my favorite bands (see below).
2.- Weakness:
2.1.- Ear training: Everything, i'm starting with it. I'm able to find the key of the song and figure the chords out of it if they are in the major or minor scale and without embellishments or inversions. I'm also able to figure out some simple melodies if they are not to fast or complicated. All of these with a lot of work and try and error . My first objective is to be able to do it without having to try every chord of the scale.
2.2.- Guitar playing: My rhythm may need some work, and my bendings are always too much or not enough (ear training will improve this, i supose)
3.- Strongest point: I can't think of anything...
4.- Favorite guitar players: Some of my favorite guitarrists are Slash, John Frusciante, Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads. Some of my favorite bands are Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Deep Purple, The Beatles, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Doors, Muse, The Strokes... i don't know, there are so many... I've done this youtube list where you can see some of my favorite songs: Great Rock Songs
I'm looking forward to begin my training
