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
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
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?
Another take of this lesson was scheduled for tomorrow but I felt good and did it today
I think I made some progress but this lesson still needs more work.
But I'm curious if my trills have improved
Here's the take at 145bpm
Analysis: 0-42: first part no wrong notes but some timing issues 42-56: on the middle part the vibrato's sound better now 56-1.12: this part sounds good 1.16: trill number one 1.19: trill number two! I have worked hard on the trills. I think they have improved but still need some more practice. 1.19-1.28: no issues here
Overall not many mistakes and some improvement compared to the last take.
I think I will remain on the same tempo for at least one more week IF you tell me to raise the tempo

Have a great CHRISTMAS evening, hahahahaha

Hi again Gert!
That's a really nice take. I noticed a lot of improvements.
Your analysis is correct. You are right, in the first part you have some timing issues (there are moments when you hurry).
0:42 - 0:56 - vibrato from the middle part. I like the fact that you played first the note and then you made the vibration. What I don't like is the fact that you pressed very hard on the string when you made the vibrato and because of that the notes sound very out of tune. Calm down the movements and control the strength.
The trills - finally we have some good sounding trills. Just a little more practice and it will sound perfect. Great work!!!
Overall, I really like your take. You don't have many issues (as you also said) and I think you manage the lesson well at this speed.
For next time, guess what?....You can raise the tempo with 5 BPM. Of course, you can practice one more week at this speed (to gain more confidence) and then increase the speed.
Hahaha....thanks...I intend to enjoy my Christmas evening. As you saw, we decided to start earlier this year.
