Hi Gab

Let's not talk about collab anymore because you know my sentiment now.
I would participate again I would post a final video

What do you think of this take?
Stéphane's playing is much more supple and relaxed.
I think I will need a few years of practice before being so natural.

I don't know if this take is good or not for REC SECTION.
For me it sound good but it's not objective.
Old take VS new take.... hum.... Difficult to show a real progress

Also, I get a progress on Shunk Funk
I will make a video soon



Old take

Hi mate! Nice to find news from you!

That's a great lesson to work on rhythm and dynamics. I can see that you can change chords very smoothly and that you can keep the rhythm tight during the whole take.

The next step is to get more of those dynamics used by Stephane. He plays softer but manages different levels of dynamics. I would start by trying to play a bit softer that louder parts of your take, does it make sense?

Also, have you worked on Stephane's Funk Workouts?

Hi Gab

I understand what you mean. It’s a job I’m already doing.
Yes sometimes I work on funk lesson by S.Lucarelli.

I will continue in that direction, but I must admit that I will stop the lesson for a while.
I don’t think I’m gonna be able to improve that take right now.

For my part, it takes a long time to process things.
I’ll take that to the REC, and I’ll probably do another one in 2020 or 2021.

I want to focus on Shunk Funk.

Hi mate, that sounds good. If you continue working on other rhythm lessons, your playing will keep improving.

Did you try this one?

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Funk-Workout/

yes a little bit on first section
I should learn it completly

Thx

Yes, I really recommend it.

Hi Gab

I break my routine some days
I worl this lesson : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Jazzy_Blues/

Timing is very interesting and licks so tasty.
At present, Some sequency need to work slowly

That’s a great lesson mate. Go for it!

Hi Gab

Not easy to get same tone and dynamic playing

https://soundcloud.com/guitare-capture/work-on-jazzy-blues

Yes, that's true! But you are doing an amazing job mate! This one is really close. Your phrasing is very fluent and the tone fits very well with the backing track.

Keep on working on dynamics and groove in order to get the most from this lesson.

Hi Gab

Thank you for feedback
Yesterday I made a video.
With experience, I know that the more I work, the less spontaneous the take will be.

I want to submit to REC in a few days.
I would like to know what you think about this one.
I don't know if it's better.

Hi MisterM! This take would obviously pass at REC.

I'm not sure if this one is better than the previous take. The elements that can be improved here are Dynamics and Groove. Sometimes you rush a bit tempo, and the faster licks (with palm muting) could be accentuated better.

As I always say, it's good to share takes at REC to receive more feedback from instructors.

Hi gab

Ok, I try to improve...

You are always improving!

Hi Gab

Farine54, my french friend help me for create a sound with my DVMARK amp + VST Nadir + Laney impulsion.
It's not perfect, because I learn to pick string muted as Jonathan.
Some noises to correct

What do you think about tone ?

https://soundcloud.com/guitare-capture/jazz-blues-dvmark-vst-nadir-laney-impulsion

I love you tone in this one mate. It's GREAT!

Hi Gab,

Thank you

Here my morning work


Also, I work modal madness : 2 string patterns
It's very hard....

Hi MisterM!! Great job here!

Both lessons are sounding good here. I think that working on those Modal Madness patterns is a good idea for your technique. And that Jazz blues lesson is sounding better and better.

Congrats mate!

Hi Gab

I posted a new take on REC Section

Also, I found my phrasing about collab Kris Gab
Wenesday I ll make a take

Graded!!

Nice to know that you have your idea for the collab!

Hi gab

Thank you for grading

I created a thread about Christmas REC - Follow the link to see it

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=60551

You’re welcome!! Checking the link now!!

Hi Gab


I worked on the collab, I posted new take.

Also, I put together my licks in one video.
I'm pretty proud of myself.


I sent an MP to Diego BUDICIN.
He allows me to share this BT with my friends on French Forum.

I really like this job, I think I will try on other BT.
I should try to make a BT myself, but those of GMC are so perfect

Great job mate!! I like your phrasing over this backing track. I can notice that all the work here is showing important results in your playing.

Have you tried over the original's lesson backing? It includes more rhythms and variations.

Hi Gab

thank you, I should try later.
I'm focus on modal madness and vivaldi arpegios

Great! Keep me updated.

Hi Coach,

Vivaldi on REC SECTION

I have exhausted my patience with this lesson.
It is time to finalize it. I couldn't do better

Ok mate!! I'll check your new take!

Hi Gab

Thx for grading

New daily work - new crush !
- Super Hard Rock
Section 7 is very speed, I work with metronome, I feel good

Weekly work (I try 4x per week)

- Modal madness 140 BPM OK
I know progress is more important every day
This one is very repetitive - the daily work becomes painful

- Silent night Rocker version
Speed of the arpeggios is so great that I am a bit demotivated, I work slowly and sometimes faster

Excellent mate! Thanks for the update. Everything sounds good!

Hi Gab

I saw Kris's com
It is pretty discouraging to read these things,

I know my guitar level is low.
I know I still have a lot of work to do.
I work hard to get little. I am not a virtuoso like others. I accept my nature and I agree to work more.
I remain humble and hope to become a great guitarist before my death.

Right now, I feel like I’ve crossed a line. I’ve gained confidence.

I don’t think Kris understands how huge my job is every day.
I understand his comments but his note is an insult to my work.

Hi mate!

I recommend you to don't take REC take comments as personal. We give feedback based on what we watch and the only objetive is to help you the more possible.

I've read Kris comments and I think that he gave really valuable feedback that I would take! He said that your playing is not sounding relaxed and natural and he suggested to practice at a slower tempo. There is nothing wrong with that, and it doesn't mean that your hard work isn't appreciated. These are suggestions based on the instructor experiences.

We are not virtuosos, we worked really hard for a long time to play like we play, and we are here to share our experiences with you so you can achieve your goals. I wish I had this opportunity when I was in my early days, I still would love to receive feedback from more advanced guitarists!

Hi Gab again :-)

Thank you for your encouragement.

I know my faults, I take your advice. I apply them every day at slow speed.
You know better than me that it takes years to build muscle memory and procedural memory.
Moreover, this construction is hindered by our bad habits that must be corrected.

The GMC lessons are often very fast which forces us to work hard.
GMC moves me forward. It gives me a goal.

Excuse me, I know you worked very hard.
What I mean is that some people are relaxed brain and muscle because it’s in their genes.
I’m not one of those people, but nothing is impossible with hard work.

PS: Darius rated 8 and his com is very rich

First take Super Hard Rock
I'm very nervous because I'm learning. You can hear some mistakes :-/
Speed section is great exercise for me

Yeah! You worked really hard and I notice your progress which is endless! It's a bit difficult to note our own progress while we are focused and practising hard but hard work and the right guidance (mentor's feedback) are the key!

That lesson is on the right track. Keep on practising until you feel more familiar with the rhythms!

Enjoy!

Hi Gab

I have little time right now.
I would live in my new house in 10 days. I have a lot of work to do.

I play the guitar very early in the morning, I try to play 40 minutes.
I usually play in the morning and in the evening, but right now I’m too tired to do a evening session.

Super Hard Rock : 100% soon, I keep hard work on this one

I’ll update the post later,

Hi mate!

Thanks for your update! Don’t worry. The new house will bring fresh new air.

Hi Gab

I'm back - At present, I work 14/19 jazz fusion licks 90% speed
It is difficult to play seriously since 7/8 days because of the flu virus and a lumbago but today I am better

Hi mate! Great to see you working hard on this one!! I can say that you are doing a killer job. These lines are very tricky to play and memorize, you are on the right track.

Keep going!!

Hi Gab,

Here my daily work since few weeks
I changed my strings - I play with 9-42 fender, it's so funny
What do you think about it

Hi MisterM! Great job here!

I can see that you are working very hard on these lessons. The first one is getting closer. You just have to be careful with hands sync when playing the faster alternate picking sections, and also with cleanness when playing sweeps. But this is a good take man, the lesson is tricky.

The second one sounds clean and clear, I think that you are ready to try the normal tempo, what do you think?

Hi Gab

Ok I should try

Good!

Hi Gab

Here my work
I feel better to 100%
I need a few days to improve it

Hi MisterM! This feels great!

I think that your tone fits great here, and that your playing is very groovy! It's nice to see how your rhythm skills are getting better!

There are some small details close around 00:59 but the overall is great! I would give this on 8 at REC.

Good use of dynamics.

Hi Gab

I’m glad to hear that.
I thought this lesson was impossible.
I took my metronome (20 days) - I am proud to have progressed.

I’ll try to make a better video later

That's hard work and discipline!! Congrats mate!!

Hi Gab

This afternoon I took a break with the house work.
I took the gopro and the green background.

I warmed up 15 minutes at the metronome before registering.
I made two takes and it looks good

what do you think about it ? REC SECTION ?

Hi mate!

This sounds really good! I've said this before, but it's awesome to see how much your timing skills improved. I can hear that your riffing work sounds groovier and with more dynamics.

The solo section also sounds very good, there are only some small details in the final (faster licks), but you are very close.

Sharing takes at REC is always recommended to receive feedback from different instructors.

Hi Coach,

Ok Go REC section

I need a new routine, this one has long enough

Great! What's next? Do you have any plan or need suggestions?
