Pi3821st April 2008Really cool solo.
Carlos Carrillo26th March 2008good lesson Roo!!
Roo10th July 2007nrpstreetballa --> I guess the EMG81 help a lot (despite I play bridge position/more aggressive one/ on this guitar). I try to keep each single note at equal volume, which is easier to do when you play something note 4 note (opposed to impro). And pick the string the less posible, keep in timing...
jammer91 --> I didn't know about those additional tabs to do. Does every lesson must provide them?
Everything is in order now. Check the memberboard section/
jammer9110th July 2007Hi Rooo, What are the tabs for the backing track?
I usually go for the rhythm stuff more than lead...
Thx
nrpstreetballa10th July 2007fantastic lesson i love the flavor, i have one question how on earth do u get ur legato to sound so smooth, do u have any tips to achevie that sound????
Layzer7th July 2007also....part 8 is the fastest alt picking ive seen in a while!
- Layzer7th July 2007
i can't stop playing this lesson...such a distinct style
Jeff6th July 2007Roo,
This is great! The tapping part fits the song perfectly. Really glad you're teaching here and I'm looking forward to more!- stratman336th July 2007
Oh sorry-the powertab opens in that link on the forum, i just didnt notice that thread.
- Roo6th July 2007
You mean the powerTab doesnt open? In the memberonly board here?: no?
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...hp?showforum=23
Ok. I send you that. - stratman335th July 2007
Hey Roo-could you email me the tab? For some reason it won't open
....If that's ok I'd be grateful!And my email is [email protected]
Thanks! 
Kristofer Dahl5th July 2007ch00ch00man: Fair enough - but this discussion is at the completely wrong place. If you read the teach online section you will see that gp tabs is completely optional for the instructors - if you feel that need to be discussed please do it in the forum.
This feedback is about Roo's first lesson - which I find so cool that I just have to sacrifice something to get a little extra practice time...haven't decided exactly what, though!

Ryan,
Advice well taken, and appreciated. Being something of a noob, I tend not want to develop any bad habits. I know that eventually I will have to develop a style of my very own, but for now, I'm happy just to be able to copy those I respect. That, and coupled with the fact that for me shred is the game, good technique means everything.
Thanks for the advice,
Boris 
Ryan4th July 2007chOOchOOman:
You should really try to figure out the fingers on your own. So that when you come to situation thats totally new. You will have more experience of knowing how to finger things out that is comfortable for you. Because whats comfortable for one person. May not be comfortable to another!! (Not trying to be a a$$ or nothing just some advice)
Great lesson Roo!!- ch00ch00man4th July 2007
Kris,
I almost never practice to the videos. Its just too hard. I do watch the videos over and over, but mostly to get a look at the left hand fingering, as the tabs, even GP tabs, never have those. But practicing to the videos is just to difficult. Perhaps I over stated when I said useless, I do tend to be direct and to the point, mostly. But without timing information that a good score provides, I just don't know the rhythm. I don't for a second want to sound like the instructors, all instructors, are doing a great job. Like I said before, for my money, this is the best place to learn guitar.
Roo,
I really do appreciate you going the extra mile and giving me the snapshot of your PowerTab. I dont have PT (maybe I should invest). As we speak, I'm copying the snapshot in to GP. When I'm done I will be more than happy to share it with any GMC member, if its okay with you Roo and Kris. Let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Boris 
Gabriel Leopardi4th July 2007Hey Roo, Nice first lesson! I really like the Satch spirit on this one. Welcome to GMC!
- Kristofer Dahl4th July 2007
This solo rocks!
Ch00ch: Surely the tabs aren't useless to you in combination with the videos? A text tab alone doesn't say much - but when you also have the instructor showing you how to do it note-for-note in a closed-up video..?
Roo - if you want to upload another tab do it at the membersonly board:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...hp?showforum=23 - Roo4th July 2007
Thanks everyone for nice words and comments.
Boris, you have perfectly to right to ask anything. I appreciate constructive comments. I don't have GP. It's a shame I do agree. Nevertheless, I sent you the PowerTab file of this lesson and quality screenshot. I don't know exaclty who has acces to the paying section. I can send the same to members who pratice that lesson for ex. Is that Ok for you Kris. I stay tuned. - stratman334th July 2007
Although it is pretty hard.....
- stratman334th July 2007
Great first lesson!I'll be practicing this!
- Layzer4th July 2007
cool...new GMC style to add to the others
Eat-Sleep-andJam4th July 2007This is a very cool solo. I cant wait to see more of you.
-John
Stratman584th July 2007Sounds very similar to Satch's Raspberry Jam Delta V tune, my favorite! Always wanted to know the style and the mode he was playing that to, thanks Roo!
- ch00ch00man4th July 2007
Roo,
Great lesson! I really like the feel of it, and it goes great with my practice routine (alternate picking and legato). Please don't take it the wrong way, I'm not trying to be an ungrateful ass, but. The tabs, especially for this kind of music are fairly useless. And trying to learn from the videos is extremely tedious and frustrating. As I have begged others before, so I will beg you. Please, please, please... post GuitarPro tabs.
Thank you much,
Boris

Hi fellows!
First, let me express the great honor it is for me to perform and teach before you all...
I play and explain here a solo taken from an instrumental tune in progress. I use sometimes weird intervals but this time I’m into a “Satch” spirit. Maybe safer for a first lesson.
This is pretty technical despite there are no very fast licks. It’s not meant to include such differents techniques (sweep/tapp/legato) but just doing something colorfull.
So we find here a rhythm guitar based on “A”. I suggest on it something light and happy like the A major and A7th arpeggios. One fast lick (16th triplet) with 2 notes/string, which is affortable even for modest technicians.
A bit phrasings with added chromatics. Hope you'll find it interesting. I want to thank every single member, instructor and Kristofer.
