I think it is quite a good program, but i got bored after a few weeks of using it and that was that. I never expected it to make me a virtuoso overnight and i think the way it taught was quite well structured, but i wasn't prepared to stick it out long enough i guess - i thought i was when I bought it though.

In summary, you probably don't need it but if you do buy it then realise you'll have to be prepared to practice with the system for at least a few months to get the benefits. It's not a scam, it won't turn you into Van Halen overnight, there are lots of other free tools and exercises out there....]]> Guitar Players Discussion jwishart77 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/paged/2/#post-233579 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/paged/2/#post-233500 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 20:37:04 +0000
In a general musical sense, do you know your Major scales? In a musical sense, I think I do. I'm pretty sure I could play it anywhere, or in any key on a keyboard/piano only because I know that familiar major scale sound, and that it's so linear on a piano.
As far as guitar goes. It's just matter of me learning the fretboard, learning the scale patterns, and teaching myself how to play them, up and down, inside and out, and any other way that I possibly can play them. Why do you ask?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Fretted Fingers https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/paged/2/#post-233500 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233422 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 17:39:20 +0000

I haven't exactly mastered the major scale, or blues scale in any one position, but I am working on that, and having a lot more fun since watching that video.

Anyways. Thanks again. Keep the comments coming! =]]]> Guitar Players Discussion Fretted Fingers https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233291 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233284 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 00:00:54 +0000
That was a pretty good instructional video. And one of the most important things he said was that he felt it was important to learn one scale position first and practice that one position until you master it.

Now that's great because you already know the Blues scale position #1 which you showed (took me a few seconds to understand it, but it is correct).

Start right there. There are literally tens of thousands of solos played in this one single position with these very notes. Start with some slow solos you can easily follow. Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton was a great example of where to start because it is slow and easy to follow. You will find you can play this solo with the scale you showed by adding one single note to the scale.

So go back and listen to your collection and find some slow, easy to follow solos. Just listen carefully and try to find each note on your guitar. With a little practice it becomes easier and easier to do. You will develop a very good ear learning this way.

Study scales and theory, but practice learning by ear which is even better. After all, music is something we listen to, not read. Just read a article by the late Dimebag Darrell last night, he said he really didn't know very much about scales and theory, he said he mostly tried to play riffs that simply sounded great to him. That is good advice.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233284 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233277 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 23:39:52 +0000
Sleu, I'll probably look into that book soon. It's cheap, and if it starts with the blues scale (I already have a load of blues backing tracks) then it's gonna be pretty fun, I think.

Now I just have to start learning the notes on the fretboard. Well, I can name them in a few seconds if you point, but I want to be able to just have someone point at the guitar and I go G, A#, D B C A etc. etc. without thinking about it.


Thanks yet, once again for your replies and comments. Wether you believe it or not, you've helped me a lot.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Fretted Fingers https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233277 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233245 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 21:11:42 +0000 this. Take one solo each week. After three months you'll know your scales in every key all over the neck, know a bag full of licks and riffs plus you'll have a backing-cd to jam to whenever you want. It actually starts with the box you gave in the first position and they work from there. Seems ideal.

It costs very little and will give you everything if you work on it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233245 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233170 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 14:36:06 +0000 But I found this really helpful somehow. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LmbMnc2vpFg

Unlike most what I read on the internet, etc. etc. Instead of handing you a truckload of words you don't understand (yet) and telling you a ton of different things to do in one lesson, he keeps it short, simple, and to the point. this is a great resource and if it suits you go with it 8)]]> Guitar Players Discussion ballybiker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233170 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-this-a-scam/#post-233158 Sat, 10 Mar 2007 12:05:02 +0000
Spend the money on some one on one lessons with a reputable guitar teacher in your area. Teachers aren't just for beginners. They will help in all sorts of areas. The return on your investment will be far greater.

Just my humble opinion. :wink:
