I see you're very active in the REC zone and I congratulate you on your sure footed progress This take can be very very good if you will improve your timing - these slips can be felt after 0.27. Try to play with the slowed down backing track and understand where each note goes where in respect to the backing track. After that, another good option will be to play along with the original lesson until you get the vibe and then record with the backing track at the original tempo. We can discuss more about sync and timing in your mentoring thread! Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

As Cosmin said, after 0:27 the timing goes out. If you listen to the drum beat, on the first beat there is a kick drum. After that first beat, that's when you play the note on the E string each time. If you always wait for that first beat of the bar to occur, you'l have a better idea of how to time that phrase. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Your hammer technique is very good, but I would also recommend practicing at slower pace. The interesting thing about this technique is that you should consider the timing of your left hand (the exact hammer on hit ),as opposed to classical dependence of the right hand picking.

Your timing got so much better and you tone is great! I can also hear that you feel more secure when you are playing! and it's great! There is a few timing issues starting with the third lick, I would suggest to practice it at a slow tempo using a metronome! Good job!!!!!!
