Rules
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.

Original lesson: Becker Made Easy by Ben Higgins
New to the site, love this lesson, thanks Ben, will definitely work more on it. I've much work to do on my sweep picking and general play I guess ....Anyway I've learned the piece with what I'd call my natural playing style, i.e with all the bad habits haha ;-) but this lesson will def help, I'll work on the sweep, alternate picking and getting the pinky going :-) Anyway thanks again for the lesson it's great to build on. |

Hi Trigger! Welcome to the site and congrats on your first REC take!
If I compare this take with the original, the unique two thing to improve if you want to get the most of the lesson is what Ben said. The most important differences are the way you manage bending and the way you use the whammy bar. This two elements give the original lesson an extra vibe that makes it sound more interesting and more connected with Becker style. I even think that these tricks make the phrasing sound more modern so it's a cool idea to put some attention to it. Besides this, I think that there is some room to adjust your timing, mostly when you play the slower parts. (at the beginning and the end of the lesson). You tend to play a bit after the beat. It's a small details but deserves some attention. Ok mate, I hope that this is the first of many REC takes! See you at the forum! -------------------- My lessons
