Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.

The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Hi Ozzy! Great to see you working hard on your alternate picking technique.

I can notice a big improvement in your hands sync and in your alternate picking technique. This lesson is really helping to polish your technique. I can say that your sync is close to be perfect and that there are only some timing issues mostly when you play the faster sections. (starting at 0:03, and at 00:22). It would be also good to try to pick stronger with your right hand, and also differentiate the first of each 3 triples to give the rhythm more clarity.

I think that you should continue working on this one to adjust timing but also start any other lesson based on this technique. Let me know if you need help choosing.

Cheers,

Gab.-

Hey mate!

I am with Gabi on this one and in order not to repeat what he said, I think that you need to mentally be aware of the rhythmic subdivisions you are playing and anticipate them better in order to become more and more confident in executing them. Whenever I know a piece very well, I become very confident and it can really be felt in the playing.

Take the time to slow it down and focus on playing it as rhythmic and articulated as possible and after that, raise the tempo while keeping the same spirit when playing it.

Keep rocking mate!

Hey dude, this is really good.

During the opening run you are just a little bit in front of the beat... rushing a little. Maybe excitement at playing my lesson ? wink.gif

The timing and hand coordination are really good for the rest of the piece. The alternate picking technique itself is really moving forward in the right direction.

As my comrade say, the next step when working on alternate picking is making sure you're getting good articulation and tone. So.. tonal considerations come after you've learned the basics. Some notes you may choose to pick harder than others, especially if they're the first note of a run. smile.gif
