Neoclassical Alternate Picking Etude

useful stuff. great job with this one!

A great production as it allows me to play it at slower tempo while progressing to a higher level. Keep thinking about serious learnerns please....

Really nice melody !

nice lesson and good job Gaby!!!!

good.

gabriels first lesson pepole will pay 2 see this

D: it was the first lesson i learned D:

Gabriel, when I work on speed in this lesson, should I work with every part individualy or as one piece.

Your guitar is a gibson lp right? How do you like it. I've been thinking about getting a lp. probably and epi.

Great lesson gabriel, I like the goo vibrations that have than lesson (in my opinion), congratulations !!!

Hasta la vista

I have a Marshall MG100HDFX, it has contour controls. As you turn it up, the sound gets a little more trapped, or maybe compact is a more fitting word. =P

I play lick 7 using using 4 mini-arpeggios, could this disrupt my technique in the future? it feels much better then pure alternate.

my bad i meant "on" instead of "pn"

whats "contour". i've never seen it pn an amp before

Thanks for the info. I have a Roland 60Watt Cube. It has COSM, so many amp models. I dont think ill be able to get the same tone,maybe find something suitable!

Gabi,
may i ask what amp you are useing and what settings please? I am trying to get a Smimilair tone outta my LP!

Yep, now it's fixed

No, it works but the extension of the file is wrong...

The gp tab should now work for everyone!

I am getting on well with this. Have been practicing daily, and am currently playing smooth at 70bps. Hopefully film myself playing this soon!

One question, is there an issue with the Guitar pro tab as it doesent seem to be working!!

I have a question about timing, scince Im fairly new to the whole theory side of music. I was reading through the 1st part of the lesson ((main one the shows the solo being played)) and it says its 16th notes. Wouldn't it be 1/8th? It sounds like to me that its played 1/8th notes because its played 1 & 2 & 3 & and not 1 & (1) & 2 & (2) & 3 & (3) & 4 & (4) &... I might be wrong, because like I said, I'm not a theory expert... =P

Wow!! I love this!!!! This is the first whole solo I've sat down and learned from GMC. Only took me bout an hour-hour and a half to learn the whole solo. Im deffinatly going to have to use this as a warm-up and/or altern-picking practice from now on. Thanks!!!

Man, something is wrong with the GP tab...

sweet lesson.ive been practicing this for a day, and i have the first 5 videos down.

I Will !! =O)

Gabriel, I have been practicing this song daily from parts 1 through 9. Slowly at first, and currently playing at 60bpm to make sure my technique is spot on. Is this a good speed to practice at or am i too fast/slow? Also with regards to the sweep, I have been practcing this at 60bpm as well on its own - dosent sound quite right yet but better than it was!Everything else sounds good.

Thanks Gabriel! =O) Ive been starting all the licks with and upstroke so i will swap this around!!!

Hello again gabriel!
I would like to ask a question about going between lick 7 and 8. On lick 7 i always end the last note with a down stroke on the D string - then i must execute a downstroke at the start of lick 8 on the D string also in order to do the sweep!And so my question is, should i be doing 2 downstrokes between the 2 licks? I hope this makes sense! =O)

sweet lesson!!i really needed something like that.ive been practing a few of those riffs, and it sounds sweet.thanks!

Fixed!

Last vid doesn't go along with the tab.

Awesome etude Gabriel! Really enjoyed it. When are you going to post that Petrucci-esque solo of yours?

Gabriel, ive been practicing this slow to the metronome tonight and it sounds sweet!! im a little unsure of the sweep section as i am new to this technique. I have yet to do pavels awsome sweep lessons, do i need to do this first or can i just attempt this section of the track anyway? thanks!!

gabriel!! ive never noticed you before, but I am glad you are here because i really needed a lesson like this!!=0)thanks!!!

Great job Gabriel. I'm looking foward to learning this and your upcoming lessons. I also like the fact that you explain the chord progression. Keep up the good work...

thx, great lesson. hope you will impress more and more

I will keep you to that Promise ! Im not a yngwie addict I just would like to learn some more riffs/techniques from the master himself


So what do you have planned for John Petrucci ?

Since your on the Neoclassical Road- How bout some more Yngwie ?

Cool stuff, Good lesson, love the tune as well

Oh thanks, I know the degrees of scales, I just didn't know they could be applied in the same way with chords. That's cool.

RIP Dime: They are the degrees of the scale - check out my lesson on the theory board ...

Great lesson

Also a big plus that you explain people how you build the backing track. You give them a little basic info on chords progressions, verry nice!

Also verry melodic patterns played over the chords. I known all these chords only in one position, But i can see it pays to know them in different postions as well. Great lesson!

Um, can you explain what the roman numerals next to the chords mean? Is that like chord scale stuff, because I have no knowledge about chord scales at all.

Very good lesson!

Very helpful for my picking technique,thanks.

I've only looked at the preview video so far, but it looks outstanding Gabriel.

Thank you for producing something that both the pros and the new guys can learn from. I can't wait to learn this and actually be able to play it at a tempo I can manage!

One word. Amazing. What do you have planned next Gabriel ?
