WELL FOUGHT SOLDIER!!!! You are on a ROLL!! Let's Debreif!!
MEDALS OF HONOR CLEAN EXECUTION: Your palm muting is coming along very well. I don't hear random string noise, no random notes, nice!
ASSASSIN GRADE PRECISION: Speed is a byproduct of precision and your playing in a very precise manner here.
SYNCH, SYNCH, SYNCH: In this one, you can't miss one strike without it being very obvious. That's why we have so many synh drills. QUICK TIP: If you notice a backing track with any MISSION, try to download the backing and then play the licks with the backing. You can change/mod the licks if you need to or want to. Not every Mission has a backing, but if you see a backing, GRAB IT and go for it! You just.. LEVELED UP!!

so,let's continue.In last time I began to have problems with live sound, the table vibrates from low and transfers all this to a cheap mic while I waiting for a tripod. in ex.47 I could not stretch my hand to 12 frets, but by the time of recording there are already small successes. And I did not quite understand the essence of exercise 50, if it is not for working off the right and left hands separately Timing: 46 - 0:01 47 - 1:02 48 - 2:01 49 - 3:40 50 - 4:20

MISSION 48 DEBRIEF!!
MEDALS OF HONOR
TIMING TIMING: All of these licks are built to show you if there are any gaps/problems in your timing. Your timing keeps improving with each Mission. The more you dive in, the better your timing gets so keep going!! PRECISION PRECISION: . Without precision, everything falls apart. Your precision also continues to improve each and every time. You are getting better much faster in real time as I watch! PICKING AND OR TAPPING: You show that you can both pick and tap with the best of them in this Mission. You are equally adept picking and tapping. Nice!

49 MISSION DEBRIEF!!
MEDALS OF HONOR
PUSHING TO TARGET: This is NOT an easy one. Doing multi note tap with an open string is impressive. Score.
PRECISION REIGNS: With multi note taps like this, it's easy to rush or lag just a pinch on one part or another. You never fall victim to it. You precision is great the entire time. PULLING TO OPEN: Pulling off to an open string is something that some folks struggle with, it often creates unwanted noise. Not with you!! Silent as Death. NICE!
You krushed it Soldier!!! You just..
LEVELED UP!!

MISSION 50 DEBRIEF
MEDALS OF HONOR TUFF BY DESIGN: This lesson is designed to make you work your bum off in terms of your LEFT HAND. Especially the bits where you can't pick. You didn't seem to have any trouble with it at all. NICE!
MUTE: Wax on Wax off, Mute on Mute off. The mute in this is tricky once you can't pick. You try it with the palm on bridge and over hand technique. You mute a bit hard on the bridge but you do the left hand work great and there is no string noise so SCORE!
PRECISION: These Missions are all about precision. Especially in a lesson like this where even one mistake will blow the entire thing. You are on top if this one big time. Y

BATCH MISSION DEBRIEF!!!
Soldier, you are clearly ready for the next series of Missions. You CRUSHED the last batch and I've watched the new batch which you also CRUSHED. You are playing very well. Smooth and confident. Precision and Speed, technique, it's all there. You are ready for challenges that await you. As such, I'm going to grade the entire batch of MISSIONS in on go 51-55. MEDALS OF HONOR
PRECISION/SPEED You play a slow pass then you play a shred pass. You manage to keep your precision at speed which is great to see. Some of these are very complex and you just blaze right through them!
TENSION IS DEATH: Playing with too much tension restricts precision, speed, and endurance. It's a great way to stunt one's playing. Very glad to see you are able to play with a light touch!! PINKY POWER: I've seen folks try these with the first three fingers only. It's quite a lot of work doing this with the first three. It's not a great way to go about it. You have a really good command of the weakest finger and it's great to see. You are clearly ready for the "POST 50" Level of Madness. It gets a bit trickier from here but I don't think you will have any problems!!

finally I recorded, I redid it many times, but still decided to leave the option with playing in a minor on top of the backing track. it doesn’t sound as beautiful as the other improvisations that I saw. I did not practice for some time for some reasons, as a result I got problems with my right hand,so I made a home recording to show my mistakes and problems for further analysis.

Welcome back Soldier!! This is the most ambitious solo for this mission that I have EVER seen. You are doing EVERYTHING and doing some stuff we never really covered like spiff sweep picking. It all works to make a truly impressive solo. I can tell that you are still early in the process and maybe could use a few more repetitions on this. There is a little gap at 30 seconds and a couple of timing issues but nothing too terrible. I would like to be able to hear the backing track a bit more and maybe a bit more gain/distortion on your tone and bit more volume on your tone so that the notes are louder than the pick strikes on the strings themselves. But a cell phohne video is very much ok for this type of thing. Just a bit louder for you and the backing and it would work very well like a live concert vibe. I think you are more ready than anyone I've ever seen take this test. I didn't realize you had progressed this far. It's really great to see! I would say maybe make one more recording, relax just a bit, leave some space in between licks, turn up the volume for backing and for you and enjoy what you are playing. Then you have it sorted and it will be badged up!!!!
Very nice work btw!!
