A-minor Solo Options

[Gert1973]

Hi Monica,

Kick-off of a new lesson! I have studied and practiced the first half of the lesson at 60 bpm.

It's again a beautiful sounding lesson even at 60bpm.

Here's the take!



Analysis:
19: the slide is not audible
33: the pull off with the pinky is hard to do because there's also an accent on this note.
57: the pitch of these 3 bends and the timing is difficult. I have also read Darius comment on the 'slap' sound. I have tried to apply it. Don't know if it makes a big differences in my performance

I'm happy how it already sounds. I have the feeling this lesson is going smoother than winter ballad to learn.

I have also started to learn the second part. Maybe you want to check out slow video 6 at 1:00. I was watching it to learn the picking direction and was really confused how he made the high E-string ring on the second note on the 17th fret before going in vibrato! Until I figured out after a few minutes the video and sounds were not in sync!

I think there's also a mistake in the TAB of video 6. The second bar as shown on the pic below:


Cheers,
Gert

Hi Monica,

The next episode of this A-minor lesson with more details ten stars in the sky

I have tried to fix the problems you've pointed out and I have also tried to identify the dynamics in the first part of this lesson.

Here's the take:



Analysis:
31: the pull off is better then last time although the note does not sound good enough
36: not a good pitch (too low)
51: raking must be stronger and the vibrato sounds out of tune
55: pitch too high
58: pitch also too high

I guess you'll find many more mistakes

Have a good day!

Gert
