My youtube account…..

http://www.youtube.com/user/lcsdds

Some crappy vids there but I leave them up to remind me of my progres…..:D

I also leave them up because some of the original takes on there I’ll forget if for any reason I want to go back and add to them etc……The earlier vids I didn’t know how to record the audio and video separate so the sound kind of blows. 😀

Nice playing!
I still dont know how to separate the audio and the video :p

Can you record your guitar separately Alejandro? Do you have any recording software?

Right now I cant 🙁
I saved some money and I am buying a line 6 POD or a Boss gt-10 and cubease.
Will this do the work?

Yup…..that’ll work just fine. When you get them you will be able to record separately and then sync up the audio with your video.:cool:

So basically I first put the audio in cubease and then I tape myself playing with no volume?

Jack….how much does a 15 year old kid get to practice every day. I’m probably gonna cry when you tell me the answer……:(

I’m lucky if I get 2 hours daily…..just gotta be super efficient and not get distracted.:D

To be honest i don’t practice as much as you’d think! I pick it up whenever i feel like playing, or i watch something that makes me think ‘i wanna play that’. Some days it’s literally for like an hour. Others it can be 5+ (now that i’ve finished my GCSE’s).
But for example today, i’ve left my guitar in the girlfriend’s house, so i wont get any practice at all 🙁
I find practicing when you want/need to is much more efficient than practicing for so many hours a day. It just burns you out!
2 hours a day is great though. I’d say on the days when i do pick up my guitar, that’s about the average time i’ll play for! 🙂
Now with my endorsement with Mayones and Blackhawk Music, i suppose i best get practicing though! I’ve got 8 weeks till my guitar comes now! 😀

Hey Jack…..Have you seen those fusion jams on bluestracks by Daniele? I’m gonna get those as well just so I can steal some more of his two handed stuff.:D His playing is a lot like mine in that I don’t alternate pick much. I prefer legato and tapping…….That’s where the similarities end though….:D:eek:

You mean the funk fusion?
I have them, Its really fun to jam with and to steal the licks 😀

Aye! I study Daniele’s stuff a hell of a lot. But i’m just a sad git 😛
Yes!! I’d suggest doing so! They’re very interesting.
About alt picking i don’t do it much either. That’s why i found Andromeda quite a pain in the arse to play! Legato is a much smoother sound, but i’ve come to realise for clarity it’s best to alt pick things. Daniele does it in a few of his videos! He’s pretty damn good at it too! In his Trilogy Suite Op.5 cover, you can see him using it.

Haha, i checked out your videos man and you’ve got a nice smooth technique! I can see what you mean about the similarities! It’s very good! Keep it up with the 2 handed work and i’m sure you’ll get there mate!

Nopes! It was when i went to LIMS. After meeting up with a few of the finalists and co. of Guitar Idol, i vistited the Mayones/Rash/Blackhawk Music guitar stand. I was trying a Mayones guitar, and the Marco Sfogli signature Rash guitar, when they were asking me about my interest in endorsement deals with their companies. Both companies told me they’d be in touch over the following week. Rash said i was too young, but Mayones were more than happy to take me on as an official endorsee! I get my own kind of custom/signature guitar (A Setius Pro 6, with Dimarzio Air Nortons, and an inlay ‘Jack G.’ on the 12th fret’). When i finally get it, i’ll post a demo video. Believe me Rash and Mayones guitars are simply beautiful. I hope i wont regret saying this, but i’m happy to move on from Ibanez! 🙂
