Hi Monica, I'm back after a period of silence (and practise) with some new noise I first did a take of the whole lesson. But I was not entirely happy with the finish. So I did a take of the end part with the bends. Here's the part from the end with only the bends: ... and this is the entire lesson... I don't see or hear any mistakes except the fact that I should bounce my foot a little less because it looks rediculous like this It looks like I'm on a bumpy road Hi Gert! Both videos contain only the part with the bends. I didn't see the video for the entire lesson. Maybe I understood wrong but you wrote "... and this is the entire lesson..." Let's go into the details. First of all, the ending section sounds better than I expected (even if the bends pitch it doesn't sound great). Definitely require more work to manage these bends, but you are on a good track. At this moment, you tend to lose the correct pitch. You start ok but because of many factors, things go down. To manage these types of bends (unison bends), you need first to understand the mechanism. Also, the unison bends require some finger strength. The trick is to use the same pivoting action as you use for normal bends. But this time you will use your index finger as a part of a pivot itself. Be very careful and keep your tip of your index finger on the string without bending the string. You start the bends in a good way, but the more you play, your index finger begins to pick up the string which is wrong. Also, when you make those releases from the bends, you need to be very precise in your movements. Control your fingers (the middle and ring finger), and if you go down in release with half of the tone (1 semitone), then, all your releases should sound down with half of the tone. Not more, not less. Please take a look at this lesson in video number 7. Ben explained the unison bends. Also, on video number 4 you will see the explanation for the vibrato. We also need to work on your vibrato. I saw that you tried to do this at 0:07 but it doesn't sound good. Apply what Ben explained in the lesson. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bendin...de-Easy/?part=7 When you make the first bend (0:06) you should apply a raking. If you look close at Adrian, you will see that he hit the first 3 strings before it goes in bend. It's a very easy technique and you already know how to play muted notes. Here you will find the explanation for the raking made by Kris: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/raking/ That's all about your today's take. Great work for today. Don't worry, it's hard at the beginning but soon you will be able to manage these unison bends. |

Hi Monica, I don't know what happened here with the full lesson I did the entire lesson and recorded it, mixed it in Logic pro and saved it. But somewhere on the line... something went wrong Anyway... I'm happy you did not see my bumpy road with my left foot going up and down with the beat Tomorrow, I will look at everything you point out and start practising it...
