Thank you for your feedback Gabriel! I am here to learn and improve. so I will continue to work hard :-) do you have any tipps on how to improve the just downstrokes technique and getting the speed or is it just a matter of time practicing it at slower tempos? yes, the only way to practice this is just playing over a drum loop or metronome. Start with a comfortable tempo and then increase it. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Marco. You're right, the song is in A minor so the most obvious choice would be to jam using A Pentatonic minor and A minor (or A aeolian). Another mode that could work over this progression is A Dorian. You can also follow every chord playing its pentatonic scale, its arpeggio (or triad) and also playing the following modes over each chord:
Am: A aeolian / A Pentatonic minor C: C Ionian / C Pentatonic major Em: E Phrygian / E Pentatonic minor G: G Mixolydian / G Pentatonic Major/ G Dominant Arpeggio -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gabriel!
Here's another take on this lesson. I spent some more time on it. I know that it's not perfect yet. But do you hear some improvements already? :-) http://soundcloud.com/marco-wyss/indierock-the-strokes-style Marco Hi Gabriel! I finally managed to record the Strokes Style Lesson. I tried to focus on the tipps you gave me in the last lesson (staccato, higher strings). But I have trouble getting the fast licks at the end right. What do you think? Marco |

Hi Slash! Good job! Your timing is good on this take. The most important parts to fix are the solos because the notes sound a bit cut. The reasons could be two: 1. You stop pressing the fret to soon or 2. You are muting the notes with your right hand. Which do you think that is the reason?

Thank you for your answer great mentor! Which part do you mean exactly? I think it's the first option. Probably because I'm lacking in speed to get to the next fret I release to previous note too early. I have to focus and improve on that. At 00:32 and 00:50. -------------------- My lessons

Hi man! This take is much better than the previous one! The notes are longer and the licks sound smoother. One important comment that I have is that the riff starting at 00:15 and the licks at 00:50 should sound even tighter.

Hi mate, it's a good take, but it still has some things to fix to be perfect. There are two important things to improve, the first one is your timing, you are not playing tight every part, try to practice it at slower tempos until you feel comfortable with the technique. The other thing is your guitar tuning, it's a bit off.
