Hi mate,
the lesson take is promising. You can play the whole thing and now you could dedicate some more days to adjust details. I notice that there are pitch issues in many parts of the lesson. It appears when bending but also when you play some phrases with vibrato. I'm not sure if there is a string out of tune, if your guitar has pitch issues, or maybe you are doing too much pressure with your fingers. The important question is, do you note the issue? -------------------- My lessons

Hi man! Congrats on your hard work! It's awesome how much profit you've get from this assignment.
At first, the theory side is always great in order to go deeper to what we learn and play. It can be insignificant at first, but after many solos and song analysed you'll have a very valuable background that will definitely help you to expand your creativity. Your take on the solo is good. There is obviously more room to work on details, since as you've said, Darius playing is magic on this one. There is a lot of expressing work done on it so there is always more room to get more from the lesson. It's one of my favourites. I wonder, if you'd like o dedicate some more days to work on details, or if you prefer to move to a new assignment. I recommend to continue with this lesson but it's up to you. -------------------- My lessons

Hi there (again..),
In order to deserve my next assignement, back from work, after the meal, I've grabbed my guitar and tried another version of the song. The tempo is speed up in order to play a different way, more simple but that does not sound too bad (I think). Bye JL ps: I've changed my track of yesterday evening. Tried to add a slide line on the second rythm part this morning.. This post has been edited by krakou: Oct 11 2016, 09:45 AM

Hi mate. Let's do the following.
Don't work on the whole thing, work on the first parts. The idea is that you can focus on less material and be closer to master it. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Krakou,
I'm checking the audio and it's true that you need some more time, but it's a good idea to work on it at this slow tempo by now in order to get more familiar with the licks. About the other lesson, I'll check it. If you have many details marked by Darius, that's a great thing! One of the the most difficult things in life is to find honest people who comments us which are the things that we can improve to become better. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate,
the first two goals should be to polish your bending and vibrato techniques. Then, dynamics. I'd like to assign you this two lessons to complement the blues one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ending-Workout/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ibrato-Workout/ -------------------- My lessons

But I guess you may find other problems ;-) For the vibrato, it's another story if we talk about the first type of vibrato. There is a tiny tiny vibrato although I shake my hand and wrist and finger and everything I can shake. The other types, at least you can hear something..

Hi mate, I agree with your comments but I have to add that the bending lesson show issues on most of the double string bends. Check out the ones at 00:39, 00:45, and 00:54, but also around them, where your bending is not tight.
The vibrato lesson sounds weak yet, you definitely need to go deeper with this one. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate!
Sure. I think that the lesson that you've shared via PM could be a good one to learn and have a video as a starting point on this new beginning. We can base at this point on more "musical" lessons with real music licks and phrases, and at the same time do a bit of fretboard learning work that would be to get more into triads, arpeggios, scales, modes, and apply them. There are 3 things that are essential to start. - Have a clear knowledge of the CAGED System related to Pentatonic scale, all along the fretboard and be able to jam with it. - Master major and minor triads all along the fret.board. - Learn major, minor, dominant and b5-7 arpeggios all along the fretboard. Relate all these three things, and practice it over chord combinations (or backing tracks). This is a long term work, you won't master this in a week, or in a month. With some diary practice, results can be seen in aroung 3/6 months, but it's what will take your phrasing and improvisation to the next level.

Hello,
Regarding theory (applied theory), I've made a little video with what I understand, so you get an idea of where I am in my musical journey.. It is improvised, and I've tried to gather everytinh in a few minutes, so be nice to me Here is the link to it: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AnDDcf9YqgnugZ4Oyo6Sx5SmT8ohMA Regards JL |
