Well done David! You really improved yesterday's version with this new one! The timming is perfect in the rhythmic sections and the vibrato sounds much better! There are still some intonation problems in the bends so I think that we must work on it!
Maybe you could record a new version of this one at the end of the month to see the improvements and we would use it as the REC take? What do you think?
I'll give you the second assignment today.

Thank you for your comments.. That was excellent news, and I am really happy..

ya, i think i can do another take later.. It could be fun to see if there's been any improvement..

overall though, i think there have been improvements already.. Like mentioned earlier I haven't really been playing rhythm, and doing this lesson (and at that speed), was really difficult.. In the beginning I was totally tensed up in my right hand.. I still am to a certain degree, but definately not as much as in the beginning.. i also learned a bit about how your riff was made up, which was great.. maybe i'll be able to do my own at some point.. I also worked a lot on trying to make my bends "faster", and that was also a winner.. I noticed that i have no problems with the fast bends on notes where i usually hit the correct pitch, but if i mess it up one time, i tend to do it a lot slower again (like the bend in this lesson going from 15b17..

Also, I have recently changed my regular G-string to a wound G-string, and I have to get used to getting the bends a lot higher on this string.. it's a huge difference, but i love the tone of the wound string more..

Hello again Zion! This is your second assignment. I was thinking on your exercise for this week and I discovered today's Lazlo's lesson. I checked it out and I think that this lesson is exactly what we need at this point. It is something simple with a lot of different bending. This lesson will allow you to concentrate exclusively in your bends.
Pay attention in these two things:

• Reach the correct pitch in your bends
• Add vibrato in the notes that Lazlo does it

BENDING LESSON

I know that maybe the lesson is a bit long for a week, let me know what do you think. If you don't have enough time we could divide it!

Awesome lesson.. Its going to be great to be working on my bends..

In regards to the time.. I think i *might* be able to learn the lesson in time, but practicing this many bends might shorten my practice sessions.. They do put a lot of strain on my fingers..

I'll let you know how it goes in a couple of days..

EDIT: i played around with it and i think i have memorized the first 4 videos (out of 8), so i think i can manage it till next week..
