Introduction


Welcome

Hello, GMC - My name is Gustavo Costa. So it is Gus C ( not a Gus G yet )


I also added a silly welcome video (Main video comes later in the post) : Welcome.avi ( 16.86MB ) Number of downloads: 455


I live in Aalborg, Denmark, where I am studying mobile communication. I was born and lived almost all my life in Brasília, capital of Brazil. Really good city but it was good to move. It is such a good experience to live abroad for some period. user posted image I am 26 years old and played acoustic since I was 8. But I stopped several times, I was lazy to practice user posted image and played basically chords. 3 years ago me and some close friends decided to form a band (named Rotação 355) and then I started learning electric guitar and lead. user posted image Currently, I am playing acoustic style with one band and electric with another. user posted image


I just love music. Not only hearing and playing, but also dancing. About rock I like pretty much every genre, from ballads to metal. My favorite guitarists are Jimmy Page, Slash, Kirk Hammett and Augusto Licks (brazilian guitarist of the golden era of Engenheiros do Hawaii). But there are so many more (Joe Satriani, Gus G, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, ... )


Still, I will give you one example of song from each, to make you understand one kind of song I just love: songs that build up emotions all the way to the top. From slow clean melodies to shredding at bulky distortion: Stairway to Heaven, November Rain , Fade to Black, O exército de um Homem Só (Parte 1) . That's also I believe the best construction for a solo: use full speed only in the climax.


That said, I hope you like the dynamics of feeling of this lesson, and can learn something user posted image


I try to give advices about execution, as well as insight on how I composed that. I believe it can be useful indepedently of the level you play. I classificated each part according to level. Remember also that even beginners can play advanced stuff, if you start practicing slowly. Off course advanced students are encouraged to play all of it until full speed user posted image
