Hi,
I am also working on this lesson and I am trying to get a tone that is close to yours but I have a problem.
Right in the beginning where you rest on the that A note your tone fades away nicely. It's like the sustain is cut off. Now is this only from the gain or something else. I don't know, I am using Amplitube, but no matter how little gain I set it still rings until I have to pass to the E note and it is hard to control. It is noisy. I can do a slide or something but I want to get the same effect as yours.
So is it only from the gain or something else ? I am still trying.
It is the same problem I had i this lesson (which I failed twice

)

My notes do not fade away like in Emir's playing and it is hard to control them when I have to pass to a different phrase.
Thanks.
