Hi Ivan,

First of, I'm a big fan of your lesson's, especially the eric clapton and jimi hendrix style, which seem to suit my level of playing at this moment.

But now I am having some problems with part 3 of your Eric Clapton style lesson. I can't get the second piece of part 3 to sound right, just doesn't sound as fluently as when you play it.

In the tab it says:
--------3-------3---------------------------------------
--3--3----3-6b---3----3-------------------------------
--5b-----------------5b----5-3-5---3---------------3-5-
------------------------------------5----5-3------3-5-----
----------------------------------------------5-3---------
---------------------------------------------------------

but when I listen to you play it slowly, it sounds to me like your playing it with some pull-offs, more like this:

--------3------3------------------------------------------
--3--3---3-6b---3----3---------------------------------
--5b----------------5b---5P3-5---3-----------------3-5--
------------------------------------5---5P3------3-5-------
---------------------------------------------5-3------------
----------------------------------------------------------
When I play it like this it does sound better actually, but I want to make sure I am not taking any shortcuts, maybe I should just practice it more . I want to be able to play it exactly the way you play it, please help me out!

Thanks in advance,

grtz bertus

Yes, Ivan's lesson Rock

Thanks

Regarding the lesson, it is a pull off, nicely spotted. I play it often without a pull off as well, so it is up to you to decide really. If you think the pull off sounds better and works better - by all means continue to play it so. IMO with pull off sounds slightly better as well. Cheers

ok thanks for clearing that out for me!

btw I agree completely with Black and white:D

thanks man!

No problem man, thanks for kind words

I love the lesson aswell But the second tab of the 5th video misses the second half of the piece, or is it just my PC?

the tab says:

---------10-13-10----10--------------------------|
-----13b----------13----13-11----13----11--------|
------------------------------12----12----12-12~-|
-------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------|

I'm no hero with tabs, but I think this looks more like the thing you play on the video:

---------10-13-10-----10-------------------------------------------------------|
-----13b----------13b----13-11----11-------------------------11-13b-11b--------|
-------------------------------12----12-10-------------10-12------------10/12~-|
-------------------------------------------12-10-11-12-------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Either something is missing or I am being dumb

Keep up the good work

I'm glad you spotted this mate, and I apologize about this mistake. The tab in the guitar pro file is correct, and here's how it goes:



I will repair this mistake in the lesson, so it should be OK in several days after it's republished again. Cheers, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Ivan
