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.

Excepting in the last section where there are some of then that sound out of pitch. The next step would be to make each bend sound perfect and add vibrato. Keep on the hard work!

However, during the first half of the video you're not following Bear's timing. On every second bend, he releases it afterwards. This is part of the overall melody so it's important to include elements like that. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I say that you should re-do this one focusing on the advices given by Ben and Gabe and post an initial recording in your thread before bringing it here in the REC zone - deal?

I'm afraid one per few bends is not in the right pitch but Your left hand has really good shape and fingers positioning. Also...it look like vibrating bended note makes You some problems but there are no obvious mistakes that could a be a reason for this. Probably jus ta matter of more control - a bit harded pressure to keep the note as close to the pitch as possible. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
