Hi Monica,

New lesson... first take...

I have been practising this lesson for 2 weeks now. Today I made the first recording and it hits me immediately when I see myself playing. I believed during practise, I made small movements with my fingers. And when I see myself play... it's the opposite rolleyes.gif

So that's already something to work on. I did the whole lesson in this first take. And I already know you're going to say I have to break it into pieces laugh.gif

But I just like to do the full lesson, so in one month from now, I can look back and see the progression.

So here it is...



Analysis:
I think there a good difference between muted and not muted.
11: missed a note
26: bad note
1.23: missed the note and vibrato
1.27: screwed this up
1.30: missed this note
2.16: missed this vibrato
2.21: tapping needs more work
2.27: missed a note

1.18-1.35: this part definately needs more work

Question:
1.21: Darius makes the vibrato with 2 fingers
1.28: Darius only uses one finger (see video 5 around 1.15)
1.33: Darius also uses one finger (see video 5 around 1.19)
Where he uses one finger, he does not tough the botton of the fretboard and kind of makes the vibrato with a loose finger. To me it does not look like the correct technique for vibrato, right?

Don't worry if I get feedback AFTER this weekend biggrin.gif wink.gif

Hi Monica,

Back from holiday and 7 days without playing guitar biggrin.gif But the past days I have picked it up again and continued my journey! I must say it's good to put the guitar aside sometimes. My teacher told me the brain needs some time to organize everything you learned and I must say it did me good to just not practice and leave everything to rest for a period.

But now I'm back and I prepared this take! Speed is now 120BPM and already more challenging of course. I think I need much more practice before I will be able to play it at full speed.

Here's the take:


Analysis:
29: unwanted string noise
51-1.02: I have worked on the bends and I think they are better now.
1.11: this note is muted and should not be
1.32: I think this trill is performed good, I like how they start to sound

I can not hear big mistakes and I'm happy with this take! Although it took many to come to this one. The longer I practice, the more my fingers and specially my pinky starts to swim more tongue.gif But overall... I'm happy how this take sounds!

Await your judgement as always laugh.gif

Cheers,
Gert

Hi Gert!

Welcome back! I hope you had an amazing holiday. smile.gif

Yes, sometimes a break can do miracles. When the techniques are learned in a good way, there are no chances of losing the skills that you earned. smile.gif


Now, let's talk about your take.

You raised the tempo but you still manage to play everything. That's really amazing!!! smile.gif

Your analysis is correct as usual. Yes, the trills started to sound good.

Hmm.....I think at 51-1:02 you wanted to say that you worked at vibrato not at the bends. laugh.gif

Be careful when you make the vibrato to not press the string too hard because it will sound out of tune.

I know that the longer time you practice the more your fingers start swimming. But...you need to minimize left hand movements. tongue.gif The more you raise the speed, the more you need to get rid of unnecessary finger movements.

Also, take care at your right hand. You have moments where your hand looks too tensed.

Overall, you made an awesome take and I'm very, very proud of you!!! smile.gif

For next time, you can add 5 -10 BPM but with one condition. A few more days, please still play the lesson at this current speed (120BPM). At the moment when you feel yourself relaxed and your fingers stop swimming, only then can you raise the tempo.

Have a great evening!

After 7 months of bending workout, the word is embedded on my retina tongue.gif
