What things does Chris practice?

Does anyone know (Chris might) what things Chris practiced when he was younger and now, such as Scales with a metronome, Arpeggios etc?

All of the above Ahahahah!!!
it's endless what I have to work on and it includes Scales, Arps, Sight reading, Ear training, right and left hand technique, etc.... I will never be finished.


oh well,
Chris.
 
what would you suggest for ear training?

hi, it´s been a while since my last post.. anyway, for your need i would suggest a programm that´s called EarMasterPro 5. It has everything needed to learn the different aspects, like intervals, schales, chords, rhythms.. it´s great I am working on it since a month now, and now I can see the development! There also is tutour in it, which saves your "level", so u can see the development, and maybe customize your schedule..

just check it out!

Do it!!! :D Australia is a great place, but we definately need to boost up our shredding ranks a bit... :erk: Not much in the way of awesome guitarists here... Sure there's a couple of standouts like Brett Garsed and Jeremy Barnes, but after that...

Canada would also be nice to live I reckon... :D

EDIT: I forgot to include Tommy Emmanuel as a standout Australian guitarist, shame on me... :heh:
 
Dude... not much in the way of awesome guitarists here?

Frank Gambale, Brett Garsed, Chris Brooks (if you want a Petrucci sound) etc. Have you heard many Australian metal bands - so many incredible muscians and guitarists out there :)

Alarum, Dungeon (Now LORD), Psycroptic, Vanishing Point... *cough*Leicohtica*cough* :rolleyes: :lol: etc.

:)

+1 there. Add Eyefear, not cos the dude shreds incredibly, but cos the band absolutely rock!
 
Hahah awesome - I saw the Eyefear singer when he guest sang with Black Majesty in Sydney one time - that guy has amazing hair! My friend got tangled in it trying to walk past him hahah.

But yeah, lots of incredible Aussie musicians/bands out there dude! :)

Frank is Aussie but lives in America - basterd, he's coming down for the Melbourne Jazz Festival in May with Chick Corea. Unfortuently I don't have the money. Not too happy about that.
