I can say that there are two main things to improve on this take. - Timing: You have to adjust the timing in some sections and the connection between chords which isn't always tight and smooth. The lesson includes some fast changes and slides that require more days of practice. Keep on it! - Chords pitch: The are some chords that sound out of tune. Your guitar seems to be well tuned so the problem must be the pressure that you are doing with your left hand on the strings, generating some kind of micro bend. Try to fix is doing less pressure. That's all. I feel that this one will be mastered soon! Keep the hard work! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Ok, you've got the basic feel of the lesson right - you need to tighten the timing again as you are a little in front of the beat most of the time. When the lesson goes back to the main riff at 0:19 you should be playing those main E5 - G5 chords with up strokes. The lesson is designed to help you use both down and up strokes comfortably so try to give this a go. Those chord slides at 0:18 are unclear. When you change chords from different strings, you have to briefly release the strings completely and move your entire hand and then re-apply the pressure again. As a watcher, it looks like you're moving the chord shape across the strings without releasing the finger pressure which makes them bleed in together. If you can improve those aspects then you'll be rocking You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
