Been trying for a while but can't seem to progress going too fast too soon I think so I've started from scratch again. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

So, work on the piece at a slower speed in order to get it flowing and tight. Keep on rocking man! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The only thing that let it down for me was the timing was too awkward at its current status. Don't worry, I know how it is with legato.. it's difficult to control the tempo of your fingers. This just gets better though with time. Your technique itself looks really good. Great finger positioning and everything. Apart from the timing keeping it from a higher mark, it's all great and I'd be really pleased with it if that was me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

That's note a minor thing but with some concentration and hard work at slower tempos (you can use the metronome, the backing or the guitar pro file).

Your timing wasn't very accurate and sometimes you are rushing a little also when you are going from string to string it feels like you are loosing it a little bit If you want to make legato perfect you need to play every single note with a metronome and do it very slow, it's your left hand that needs work and you need to master this move! The good thing is when you get it the rest will be piece of cake! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

There is little of use to play like that if you intent to get any faster with this technique. Timing is too off, and there are some big mistakes on one part. However, I think you can do it, you manage the positions well, just try to be patient enough to work on slower tempos. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
