I've been working on this for a bit, but am going to move on to a soloing lesson as Ben recommended. I figured I'd take a crack at recording this one first. I wish the tone was better and the video was shot at night so the light isn't the best. I'm starting to notice small timing issues, but am not sure the best way to improve them.

But as soon as you change the settings, we'll get back to ya and leave our suggestions, comments/grade. All the best, Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The lead sections could flow a lot smoother yet. If you listen to Gabriel you'll notice how the movements that shift from one fret to another are seamless. In your version you can hear occasional pauses just before you hit the next note. There's nothing wrong with it as such, you'll naturally get better at making this stuff flow - it's just worth knowing about is all. The bending is accurate. The semitone bend at 0:38 is walking right on the line of 'sharp'. Only just. You get away with it but to my ears it sounds a little out of control, due to an excess of bending power I'm always telling people to bend upwards on the G string during slow / medium bending but this is one occasion where I would actually bend the string downwards, just like Gabriel does in the video. I don't really know why we do it... sometimes it just feels right to bend the G down instead of up. I think it works better for when you need to make a brief, quick bend but upwards bending works better for accurate, controlled, longer bending. Try it and see what you think. It might help you nail that quick semitone easier ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Your take sounds good as an overall ensemble. Take them into account and implement them in the take while practicing it a bit more, not necessarily slower, as I don't think that this would be necessary, but practicing with a conscious mind on the details that Ben pointed out. Nothing else to add here, so keep on rocking! Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
