New Motivation

[Dominik Gräber]

Since this huge upgrade of the Website I really feel motivated to learn and take the lessons more seriously again. That's why I spent almost a Week already on lesson 10. Also I'm tackling Alternate Picking I at the moment as Well as occationally learning new songs.
What about you guys? Do you have found new Motivation, new Goals? What are you working on right now?

 

[Ed Seith]

I have, but there are impediments to my start date. I have my big cycling event this weekend, and the long rides monopolize my time. Also, my son the Marine is in town for the first time in a year, so we're spending a lot of time with him. Either Monday or after US Thanksgiving (next Thursday - we will be out of town), I am going to pick a lesson - an earlier one, like maybe the starting CAGED ones, and start giving them serious dedication, Jak-style.

my motivation comes from being able to play a guitar i thought i lost forever

 

[AGA]

Yes! My motivation actually came from a video Jak posted a few weeks ago, where she talked about a conversation she had with Papa Gates about "figuring out which kind of guitar player you want to be and working on ONE thing". I took a serious look at that, because that has been my biggest detriment; never figuring out which kind of player I wanted to be in the first place.
So, for the last few weeks I've been working on something that is very much MY OWN. When it's ready I will share it here!

I honestly feel a rush to pick up my guitar whenever I see live clips of Syn and the others. I don't know how but something about the live shows' energy really gets me pumped up haha

I know right!? Live performances inspire me so much! Because you picture yourself doing that.

Good luck with the cycling Event and have fun together. The guitar won't run away, right?
I think 'Jak-style' should be an official term on the school!

Atm I'm working in the first 7 minutes of exist and I still have a bunch of itnro to do for the #metalminute thing. During my Christmas vacation i'm planning to spent my time studying a book on gypsy jazz Arpeggios, gypsy jazz licks and Robin Nolan's gypsy jazz boob volume 1. I know I should learn by ear but I'm not critical enough of myself to do that(I just kinda tend to go 'ooh that note sounds good over that chord' and it's good enough for me) but I buy tabbooks but barely use them so now I decided to go through all of them front to back.

I did find new motivation from the launch of this new website. I am practicing more consistently, login everyday to see what's going on here, checking out the riffs page. It has been great

Right? That new Site worked Wonders.

 

[Lindsey]

Yes, it works for me too.
My practice routine was a bit in rut and neglected. It's nowhere near perfect yet but this site is exactly what I needed. I found it a few days ago when I randomly stumbled upon Synysters' instagram page and I guess I'm a bit stuck to it now haha

Always find the best things when you aren't looking for them.

 

[Rute Rodrigues]

Im dying with high school tests but I still playing of course. I wake up earlier in the morning and I play until the hour of my school. Im working on an original solo, I posted a bit on my profile, and ill do the same as Ed and Jak, like pick a lesson with dedication. Im always atracted by live concerts, thats so true x)

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Lol you should mix your answers into licks so during your test you just think of the melody and the answer sings in your head.

IF IT WERE THAT EASY

That could work I guess x))

 

[AGA]

Yes! Also, I love the new system where lessons are divided in sections and you get points at the end of each section. Just encourages you to keep going!

 

[Rute Rodrigues]

Good luck with your tests!

Thank you!!
