Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.
The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Hi MrUk.
You can play this whole lesson using the right notes and with tight timing but there are some things to work in order to polish the whole thing. The main thing that I note is that your palm muting technique is not hard enough for this style. You don't mute too much low E string so it keeps on sounding when you play the other parts of the riff (mostly on 5th string). This issue makes your take sound more Stoner, instead of Thrash metal. If you pay attention to my take, you will notice that the riffs sound aggressive but clean. By clean, I don't mean without distortion, I mean that there is only one string sounding when it's required. So please re-check your palm muting technique. The solo section is ok, but you have to work on vibrato and that trills lick that is not sounding smooth yet. Finally, I also think that your tone is more Stoner than Thrash. I don't know what you used for this one, but you can try something with more high end, combined with the bridge pick up. Let's use Gab's Army if you need any help with these things. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons

Hi man, as the guys have said you need to get palm muting into your skill set. At the moment all the notes are bleeding into each other and palm muting will help separate the low E from the other licks and chords that occur afterwards.
I made a YT video ages ago about palm muting, this might be of help to you. As for the solo, you need to work on hammer-ons and pull-offs in order to make it all sound smoother. I recommend some simple hammer-on lessons which also involve pull-offs as well. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/hammer..._for_beginners/ Other than that, your timing and hand coordination is all good so just focus on those 2 areas for now and you'll start noticing a difference |
