Blues: Beyond The Minor Pentatonic, Lesson By Jacob Light |
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: Blues: Beyond The Minor Pentatonic by Jacob Light
Learned this when it came out and since it was one of the only things I learned all the way through I thought I'd use it for my first REC post :) I know one lick, one bend and the first slide are all messed up but I plan to work on that. I wanted to get some advice before practicing it a little first. |

Hi Nick! Congrats on your first REC take!
 The video looks good but I think the sound of your video could be really improved if you'd use a multitrack software to record guitar and mix it with the backing. Then you can replace audio from your video and your mix will sound much better. In this video, the direct guitar sound is louder than your amp tone and it makes tricky to hear how you manage tone and dynamics which are two very important elements in this lesson. From what I can hear, you are using a tone with more drive and sustain compared with the original lesson, and this prevents a bit from getting the dynamics that Jacob gets on this lesson, so I would try with less drive to let the wood of your guitar and your fingers work more. Your playing is really good on this one, you have a good timing and can play all the licks clear and clean. I think that you could get more from the lesson if you pay attention to vibrato and play along with the instructor to get his way of using the technique which is more consistent than yours by now. Sometimes your vibrato is weak or irregular so please keep on working on it. You also should pay attention to the groove of some licks, for example the ones at 00:12, that sound a bit "hurried" in your take. The reason can be that you are doing the trill a bit fast. Something similar happens with the lick at 00:17. So this is a good take just focus on details now: Vibrato, dynamics and timing. Keep on the hard work!
