FIRST WEEK OF PROGRESS
Hi guys! I’m having trouble uploading a riff and also starting a new forum topic
I thought I’ll share the video here instead, since what I’m really looking for is feedback.
Any and all observations are welcome, especially on my technique. I decided to showcase this week’s progress with a little improv session using the concept presented in lesson 10. I used a looper pedal.
EXTRA INFO. You don’t have to read this next part, this notes are my “personal progress log”.
I’m sharing them in case anyone could find them useful.
The Synyster Gates School. 1st week of progress.
This week I watched lessons 1-10 and practiced the concepts therein.
The most useful lessons for myself personally were:
Lesson 4- How to hold the pick. Something so simple made a huge difference in my playing.
Lesson 6- The Guitar Fretboard Layout. I was fairly familiar with the notes on the fretboard, but this lesson lit a fire under my ass to learn them all. I’ve been practicing this every day by making it part of my warm up.
Lesson 7- The major scale. Again, I already knew this concept, but this was a GREAT opportunity to do an in depth review of the major scale in every key with different fingerings.
Lesson 10- Another concept I knew and use often, but I loved how simplifying the pentatonic scale to 6 notes pushes you to be more creative with limited choices using rhythm, intention, dynamics etc.
