With ref to LHS Video below: This is answer to query from both Level 1 & 2 those who are struggling with settings and infill licks. For Level 1 you must run through easy licks as shown here as an example of Olivia’s lyrics /LET ME BE THERE/ and when you are approaching/working towards Level 2 - start focusing on infill licks. It will be great if you are in group /Level 1 & 2/ playing together. If you are in Level 1 then just follow the standard licks of the song and when playing in group leave the infill licks for Level 2 to play (as shown here) – that way learning will be more interesting/fun also it will push Level 1 students to jump to play Level 2 licks. PLEASE NOTE why two knobs in Amplifier & Pedal have been arrow marked – this is so because these are actually trouble makers of your amp racks. We always recommend GAIN in Amp & LEVEL in Pedal to keep as low as possible. Actually, these two knobs are trouble makers. It makes no sense to increase GAIN & LEVEL as these will start to produce bad distorted sound when set high. We always recommend that “once your Amp Rack is all set” – keep a backup copy of the presets (if using softwares) or else take a photo of settings/presets when actually using proper external hardwares. If you are lost on - what was your last amp setting then it will be easy to revert back to your preset file or photo. All GIRLS here please note – until your finger nails are not “as short as possible” then do not even think about to play Level 2 infill licks (as shown here). Also if these infill licks are too hard on your finger then visit a GP to check out how you can increase your bone density . Well practice hard. We have very Weird answers/solutions to all your problems – but as you see our Weird Ideas actually works / and been proven over time again & again. Be patient and go slow as it takes time to get your finger bone used to such high force / pressure / energy required to lift/bend/pull strings etc etc. Well to work on your bone density other than intake of calcium/protein/Vitamie D etc we have our Weird suggestion. If you know Density is defined as Mass per Unit Volume (keep dimensions of parameters as per your choice but make sure units used are standard / or else you will fail miserably in your Physics subject) then you can work on your volume - which is to reduce "volume" then automatically your density will increase. So if you are over weight / keeping high BMI then go to Gym everyday but do maintain proper diet as 70% volume reduction comes from proper diet. :-)There is quite much latency in softwares here but you have enough material here to catch up with Level-2 infill licks.
With ref to LHS Video below: Level 2 this is your answer to “how weird Pentatonic pattern works”. It’s all same Pentatonic but sequence of notes are in such fashion that it takes few minutes to digest all notes and takes 30 minutes of practical to figure out the sequence on fret board and followed by 1 month to 1 year of practice / depends on how much time you are spending on her.
Even if you are not our member try play 18E (Start High E), 17B, 15E, 18G, 17B, 15G, 18G, 17D, 15G, 14D, 17D, 16A, 14D, 13A, 16A, 15E (Finish Low E) in sequence. Also please note here we are not trying to teach any song etc – here the focus is on “just 1 example of several 1000s of weird Pentatonic patterns you can play”. Also please note these are not any solved assignments. Check with your own Tutor for weird stuffs – also make sure your Tutor is able to play too while teaching you :-) .
Members check your tab sheet “not sequence shown here”.
We covered this practical keeping some twist in “Man in the Mirror”. As this is a weird twist so it is better described as “Girl in the mirror”. Level 1 you can focus on how tabs are going with your lesson but those who are struggling to clear Level 2 it will be good you work on weird Pentatonic you have in your assignments. Weird pentatonic starts after 1.5 minutes so Level 2 strugglers try to play along after 1.5 minutes. All please note you have five fingers so we mean to say you have PINKY to be used too Do not care about amp, latency etc etc issues going on here – focus on finger placing!
To make things more addictive use our special plectrum – that way you will learn faster and keep motivated. You will definitely find “Girl In The Mirror” is a good way to learn various patterns of same pentatonic. Enjoy – Level 3 - Never be Copycat of other Musicians – try focus on improvisation. “Get your own imaginations involved” – no matter you are doing any other job too in any other Industry!
With ref to LHS Video below: Level 2 this is your answer to how to fold your “fingers” when playing Blues (i,e Proximal interphalangeal joint – the joint in the middle of the finger. Distal interphalangeal joint – the joint closest to the fingertip – if you understood nothing then ask your GP about these biological/technical terms). Blues is weird so you also need to bend strings with one single finger on various licks. You all were shown several times how to do it – but the issue is if you don’t practice nothing will come out (yes also - it’s confusing initially because of weird BB Box). We know it’s very hard at initial stages to bend string with one finger so you know now why success rate actually to play Guitar is only 10%. Practice hard or else you will come under rest 90% playing other typical easy musical instruments.
Those who gave up to go through this difficulty then it’s better you switch to some easy musical instrument to play. If you are not able to do it or thinking to bypass these bends then it is very likely you (& your BAND) will only be good enough to play in your bedroom for yourself or in some low budget Office Xmass Party , Birthday Party, Wedding etc etc. Though we still be very happy to know if you are playing good enough for yourself only (in your bedroom) – this is so because it can reduce altercation / fight with your partner, kids, wife, family members etc. If you are in any such situation – then it’s better you lock yourself in your room, grab a headphone and enjoy at least playing/practice for yourself only. It’s no point getting into altercation with family members /friends/partner etc. The more you participate in such “situations” - home environment gets from bad to worst. Locking yourself in your room and practice/playing for yourself will only lead to doing something constructive than destructive @ your home. Including having peace of your mind! There is extended backtrack here for you to Jam along with us.
Please note all who have Apple Laptops / Macbook / Pro / Air etc – you will receive detailed procedure & instruction on how to get rid of latency issues! But the first thing - get everything disconnected related to Bluetooth of your hardware/sound gear & do standard wiring.
LEVEL 2 JUMP/SKIP 3 MINUTES OF THIS VIDEO FOR PRACTICE & QUERY/DOUBT SESSIONS. THERE ARE VARIATIONS AS WELL FOR YOU TO PRACTICE. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR “I CAN’T DO IT” - BECAUSE IT’S A 8 MINUTES LONG EXERCISE IN DETAILS FOR YOU TO LEARN.
Now some words for those who are 18+ with us and are beginners – please note we are not forcing you to be Blues expert. Here this lesson is for “Blues Lovers”. It’s fine if you don’t like Blues but here there are all ingredients what all are required to play Guitar (including one extra weird note called as “Blues note”). You have more than required here! Including the weird note “Blues Note ” . Just that “one note” of Blues makes it weird to listen. . Suppose you are a Beer/Scotch Lover and never had Wine in your life then even if you are served a bottle of “Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru” (Cost $100,000/bottle appx) – you are not likely to appreciate the taste (even if price is disclosed to you). This is so because it takes a while/years to develop taste and really come to value the taste – so is Blues too. More mature She gets more wild She sounds. or you can say more high She gets more weird She sounds.
With ref to LHS Video below: Answer of this query are for those who were seeking some super easy example to start with slides. This assignment is the most easy one we have on slides for below Level 1. In this example you will find short, medium, long slides of all kind ! If you are very very young over 40 then definitely you must do these exercise in Gym to get you slides right – for example mix up you handles – if you lift weights – simple tweak to your equipment can add an extra grip challenge, take a heavy walk, hang out in a dead hang, reverse your biceps curl, flip your kettle bell, grab some battle ropes etc etc. Please note nothing of Justin Bieber is going on here – it’s just an example to slides (on “Hold On” business of Justin) and how you can apply it to any composition. Just out of Justin Bieber example – sometimes in life you will always have to “Hold On“ to your job no matter what is going on in your personal life.
So always keep a Guitar under your office desk for stress relief purpose. When your desk job is leading you nowhere in your life and you are stressed – try slide up the fretboard (any string) – 1 minute. When you are not very busy in your desk try slide down the fretboard for 5 minutes :-) Please note to our understanding it’s legal to play Guitar during lunch hours in any office.
Though ask your Manager/Team Lead etc before to follow our advice. If your Manager/Team Lead is not aware of this Weird Guitar legality then ask your HR department to check with Ministry of Business/Labour etc of your respective Country. :-) Do try using the “Candy Fuzz” here but make sure you do not “Drive” her hard as She is going to generate high “Level” Weird distortion noise. Play the chords without her Drive. We did not use the Drive because of Educational purpose.
Once you are through with basics and foundation of ‘playing Guitar’ then later you can use any weird gear to sound you’re playing more fancy.
