Hey Emir!
 I watched closely your introduction thread, and I think we can start off with some cool blues lesson. Here is one lesson that can help you use both minor and major scales in blues, build up more lick vocabulary, and using different rhythmic patterns too: Here are June assignments: Assignment number 1: deadline: June 14 task: check out this lesson, and rehearse videos 2 and 3 goal: post an audio recording of these two videos by the end of the deadline Assignment number 2: deadline: June 20 task: check out this lesson, and rehearse videos 4 and 5 goal: post an audio recording of these two videos by the end of the deadline Assignment number 3: deadline: June 26 task: check out this lesson, and rehearse videos 6 and 7 goal: post an audio recording of these videos by the end of the deadline Assignment number 4: deadline: June 30 task: rehearse the whole lesson, request backing couple of days earlier, and record a video of your playing the lesson in normal tempo goal: post the video for REC program grading and review. Theory assignments for June: Answer all the questions bellow: 1. What key this lesson is? 2. What scales can you use over this key? 3. What chords are used in this lesson? 4. How many bars does this blues progression has? Let me know if you need assistance!

Don't worry, these theory questions are more of a bonus/testing questions in the first month, so I understand how much you know about theory. You answers will tell me that. Feel free to use any resource available, and don't worry if you aren't sure about some question. Just write "I'm not sure", it will be perfectly OK. However, if you really want to study the scales, and not sure where to start, GMC theory lessons are good place to start. www.musictheory.net is also a good resource!

With the backing definitely!
Sounds great, I think you played everything nicely, and managed to improvise a bit too, some notes didn't correlate with the main video of the lesson, but that isn't a concern. I think you put in a good effort in playing this, and it sounds very good. Vibrato is very good, and the only thing that could use some fine tuning is timing. Make sure it really locks to the beat tight, and it will sound great. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

This is excellent. Smooth tone, natural sound, and solid rhythm too. What I suggest here is to try to insert some phrasing effects - bended vibrato (where there is bend), slide ins and outs, and specially - raked notes. That last whole step bend before you descend is very suitable for that. Try to mute the strings bellow that note and strum them all at once - it should give the bended note more weight.
Looking forward to the next take!

Raked note is when you mute the strings bellow the note you want to play (for example you want to bend 15th fret high E string, and you mute D, G and B strings, and strum them all together. This will add a weight to that high E string note.
Let me know how I can help further!

Very good job with the theory assignments!
I like the way you explained and the way you think. I will give you something a bit more different in July, as I'm sure you are good at this. I hope everything is OK with the finger my friend. If you could manage to do a REC take by tonight it would be great. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

You did a very good job with the REC, and for this month. We will continue MTP in July, and I will post assignments in 2 days. I hope your finger is better my friend!
