How do I teach?

Basically, we've had to replace a band member and I've got the job of teaching the new guy coz he can't learn by himself. I've never taught anyone how to do stuff before so does anyone have any advise on what's the best way to teach the guy and fast.

Thanks

Well Kakarot, first you turn into a super sayain and the rest should be easy. :cool: Well, since time seems to be an issue you definately gotta tailor these lessons for him. Think about what kind of music you'll be playing, then assess his skills and find any disparities here. From there just keep working with him and playing with him to help develop his ear and sense of timing. What kind of music will you guys be playing?

We'll be playing a sorta metal / hardcore fusion so it is quite technical and has lots of parts. The guy can play the different parts but it's getting him to link them together smoothly and remember them that we're having trouble with.

Maybe if I could get him to go Super Saiyan it might help.

All that is is practice, if he repeatedly practices the parts, he'll have no trouble remembering them or linking them together.

you could always chain him to his amp and poke him with sticks until he gets it right...

i found that was quite effective...

Yea, I gotta agree with Jolly. If he's proficient enough to play all the parts, then it's just a matter of practicing the songs as a whole. You could get your band together and record the songs without his parts in the music then give him that recording to practice with, or if your band has enough time just do group practice alot.
