Warming Up with Marcus Siepen

Very smart thinking Marcus - we have warming up lessons for vocals but none for guitar! I also love how your teaching style is fluid with a touch of humour.

Welcome to GMC Marcus - we are glad and honoured you found your way!

Yeah! Warming up is so important!!!

Thanks Marcus, really useful. It's great to have you at GMC

thank you! i really love chromatics cuz it looks so difficult and so easy to learn

This is awesome, I've had some problems with my hand, because of not warming up properly, so this is going to be very useful Thanks Marcus and welcome to GMC, can't wait for your next lesson

Hi Marcus. Welcome to GMC. This is a good lesson. I'm looking forward to more from you. Thanks!

Marcus! WOOOO!

If you got a mental image of some guy holding a beer close to his chest with his other hand in the air screaming, then good. That's the picture I was trying to paint. I look forward to more lessons (quick turn around on the first one too).

What kind of EMG is that in your LP Custom?

Hey!! Welcome to GMC, It's really great to have your lessons here!

No way! Welcome Marcus!
Great first lesson. I have been searching for various warm-up methods for quite a while now.

OMG!!! Marcus from Blind Guardian? It can´t be!^^ I like your music and unfortunately haven´t been on any of your concerts yet. Cool that you are now a GMC member.

@topic: Nice first lesson. ;-) I hope you will make some blind guardian like lessons.

Great first lesson! I probably don't spend enough time practicing good warm-up techniques, so this'll help me out a lot.

Looking forward to your next lessons.

great lesson! i love new warm up ideas!!

ugh this is BEYOND cool. im such a big fan of blind guardian. i grew up listening to you guys and it was one of the main sounds that really developed my style. i cant WAIT to see all the lessons you make for this wonderful site, marcus

Great lesson !!
I´m still blown away by the fact that you´re here too teach us

Heya Marcus. Good first lesson. Already using this to warm up now. Thanks.

thanks good lesson

Great lesson. I love to see how you show some charisma and enthusiasm about the lesson!

Warm up is usually boring and this lesson is no eception (sorry, but i need to be honest)
BUT, it's nescessary to warm up, as you explain in the video, so i'm very grateful even though i can't say "woooow what a rocking lesson"
- Looking forward to your next lesson(s), and welcome to GmC

Thats what i want to hear

Gr8:P
Btw. isnt this in E-flat? (if anyone said that already, I overlooked it.. sry..) Just noticed:D

Oh.. some of these are really fun to play, I must say:) especially that with sweeps included!..

I like these. Thanks Marcus. Glad your here.

sound advice marcus!

thanx a lot, i really needed a lesson like this

cool man and Wolcome to GMC!!

Awesome lesson Marcus! (*ahem* Blind Guardian rules)

Hey, I always warmed up, but just did it randomly.

Following this steps of your I can feel the difference it made in my practice session

Sometimes what makes a great lesson is how useful it is, not how impressive it is.

if you do lesson 3 i little differently you can make a "N" on the fret board... cool warm up btw, and Bind guardian rocks - im listening to it right now

Excellent warm-ups, Marcus! Keep up the good work! Blind Guardian FTW!!

hey marcus great lesson.nice touch.cheers



ps. could you do a lesson on the bards song.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

BLIND GUARDIAN ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great lesson. Really good Warm-ups.

I'm really speechless! (that's why nothing came out in the previous post)
Actually I can't believe we're warming up with you!!!

nice one man

nice approach ! great playing!
youre right warming up is really important!
thank you Marcus!
Best!
Mats Hedberg.

Verdammt noch mal, ich will die Gitarre!!! In schwarz UND in weiß am besten. Die ist einfach nur geil.

Thanks for this

Zomg we have a celebrity on GMC:D i think its cool that they bring in famous guitarists! haha Kris should bring in dave murray^^

Great lesson Marcus.
And welcome to GMC. (I know I'm a bit late lol)

This is a good workout style for any player. The most simplistic of matters often tend to be the most beneficial in the overall scheme of things...

I have been a slacker and pretty much never been one to do a warm-up beforehand. I just assumed the god-given ability would just fall from on high. Well thanks to this lesson, I am looking to mend my ways. This will become part of my regular routine along with variations as needed.

Many thanks for this.

Thank you for that lesson !

By the way my daughter loves Blind Guardian

and i can do every day warming up with you hahaha GREAT !

Maybe she gets inspired now to learn playing guitar !

All the Best !

Dieter

Thanks Marcus, just finished playing the entire #1, although not so fast. I will be playing this at least twice a day, including warm ups of course.

Tx Macrus for this... needed this.
