This is the first Task under the newly renamed Apprentice thread, however we will treat it as number 14 still because this is the continuation of the Beginner thread.

You've spent a long time working on specific areas of guitar playing. Alternate picking, bending, legato. Now I wanted to let you guys have a real piece of music this time to put it all together and see how much you've improved.. and also just to enjoy and reward yourselves with. It'll be a nice way to round out April smile.gif

Task 14: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/theme_...ds_of_fantasia/

Don't be worried that it's a 4. I think you guys can handle it. Also, I wanted to draw attention to a really fast bit at 0:45. You don't have to play that run. Instead, feel free to either ignore it completely or just take a few of the notes and create a slower run up to the next phrase.

I hope you guys enjoy it, as this is the way it's intended. You deserve to kick back and play something nice with a great melody. And notice how the first thing you encounter is our old friend, picked arpeggios ! wink.gif

Deadline is, of course, next Friday 4th May !

Haha ! You have learnt the secrets of bending time !

I find that I'm still living happily in 1984 (which was before I was even born, but hey !) biggrin.gif

Great submission double G.. I really like it. This is a nice piece to listen to and if I'm still enjoying listening to it then your guitar playing had to have been good wink.gif

I like the way you nailed those micro bends at the beginning of the opening phrases too.. they're important to the phrase ! Good work !
