Diminished Responsibility, Lesson By Ben Higgins |
|
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 Siinthd!
You've already received excellent feedback about your hand posture by Kris. It's very important to work on it. Here I'll give you some extra comments from things that I can hear in your video: - The first element that you could work (some minutes every day) is your Tone. Please compare your take with Ben's and you'll notice differences regarding the overall quality of his guitar tone (EQ, Sound colour, Feel, Dynamics). I would try with different EQ configurations and Amps. - Be careful with Pitch when you do your vibrato. Check the first one at 00:04, when you do a half tone bend. Your vibrato is wide and strong which is a great thing, just pay attention to pitch and try to make the vibration more connected with the groove of the track, and the progress more gradual. Ben is a master on it, practice a bit emulating his vibrato. -Faster licks like the one at 00:15 could sound more consistent. The problem here is Hand Sync when playing with Alternate Picking technique. I recommend you to get into this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Hand-Synch/ - The bends between 00:19 and 00:23 needs special attention. The first is missing a killer vibrato that is Ben's copyright style. I remember having to work a lot on a similar one when doing the "Instructor vs Instructor" video. Then, the double stop part is not reaching the right pitch on the second bend. - The same happens at 00:35. It seems that you need to put some work on vibrato when bending. This lesson is great for this: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Basic-...ending-Vibrato/ Ok mate, that's all by now, keep on the hard work! I've commented many things to make this feedback useful but it doesn't mean that this is a bad take. There are many strong point here, and that's why my grade is a 7! -------------------- My lessons
