Carminemarotta's World Of Many Styles Options

[Cosmin Lupu]

Hey Carmine!

Let's see where do you see yourself now as a guitarist and musician and where would you like to get to? It's important to set some directions and what would you like to be able to play, stylewise?

Looking forward to helping you out my friend!

here my take of the Beginner Corner 12 lesson. I give you the link even if I know that there I have to improve it: you can't tell me how. Apologie for the sound: I could not record the backing track but I am working on it and in a few weeks should be able to record it as well.

I made few mistakes but I keep my hand moving.
By the way looking at the video I saw that I tend to use more elbow than wrist, is it fine? To the best of my knowledge the motion should come by the wrist. Also please consider that a) I am not an acoustic strummer (but I think this is vital to learn rhythm) and that is 10 pm in a small flat with the family sleeping: not the best place to practice!

Hope to get few insight from you. Thanks in advance and kindest regards

hey carmine,

the take is shaping up nicely and of coourse, more practice can only provide better results, especially if you will focus on using your wrist when strumming

your flow will increase, as well as your stamina plus, the ryhtmic possibilities will be more varied

can you try one more take, focusing on your wrist strumming?

Hi Carmine! The right hand looks relaxed and able to work very well

There are improvements which can be done to your flow, but this mainly comes from playing a lot and paying attention to your coordination between the right and left hand.

I would suggest going through all of Bear's rhythm lessons, as they are very very good for you at this stage! I think you can pick another, record it and send it over so I can look/ listen to it

do we have a deal?
