Right, young apprentices.. if the last Task put the fear of Mount Fuji into you then this week's Task may not make you feel any better.. or maybe it will !
Task 28: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Hand-Synch-II/ There's some picking patterns in here that 'd really like you to know as they're really useful for getting around the neck in a more interesting way than just straight up or straight down  Now, there's a fast bit at the end.. don't worry about playing that part. Instead I want you to keep to the same pace as the lick that precedes it and just work out your own lick to end it with, using the notes from the last sequence. You can do it ! Deadline for this is next Friday 10th August or I take away your rice rations for one week ! |

Hi Ben
Back from the distractions of the Olympics and my computer is sorted out [video card] etc. I've got a bit of catch up. I played this trough at 70bpm and incorporated the 16th triplets at the end. I've got to ask about the triplets. How should I count triplets especially coming out of 16th notes. Because the pattern is a 4 note pattern if you know what I mean. Batman has the Joker Wonderwoman has does my butt look to big in these leotards and I have 3/4 timing and 16th triplets.  Hm I think I missed the staccato. http://soundcloud.com/zoomify/hand-snyc-2 |

You nailed everything really good.. it only went a bit off piste around 0:41. You started off the triplet section perfectly and all that happened was that you got a bit left behind is all. If you'd have kept up that pace with the track it would have been perfect. To count them, you would just count them as you would any group of 6 notes. It's confusing because the finger patterns themselves seem more geared towards groups of 4 as you've noticed but the count does follow a triplet count. If you put 2 lots of 6 together so that you've played 12 notes, then that divides the patterns up quite nicely.. then the beginning of the next 12 will always begin with the highest note again Great work !! |
