Hi mate!! This is a lot better! This is exactly what I suggested to do. Your phrases sound much nicer and the overall solo is more enjoyable! It makes me remember to John Frusciante! Well done!
Please keep on working in this way for a few days and share a new take when you have it. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Alex! Thanks for this new stuff!
It's great to see you working hard on this tasks. Everything shows improvements but still need hard work. The phrasing lesson has some important thing to have in mind: - Your guitar is not perfectly tuned. - When using vibrato technique, remember to let the note sound and then add vibrato. It should be a natural part of the note... check some videos by Satriani, Timmons, Vai and see how they manage it. - Be careful with timing, mostly on the last licks. The timing workouts are on the right track, the 8th notes are better, the triplets are getting closer but aren't tight yet. Please continue working on it. And again, listen! that's the key, check triplets lessons at GMC and listen how this rhythm goes with the backings, try to get more familiar with it. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons

Hello Mate!
I got a a new triplet take for you. https://soundcloud.com/alex-arvedahl/80-bpm-8th-notes-triplets I have been trying to come up with something cool and melodic for the Melody Workout the whole week now but mate, I can not come up with anything better or in same class as my previous take in the Melody Workout. I have kind of a small idea in my head but it isn't anything special, do you want me to share it with you? |

Hi Alex, thanks for the update.
The triplets are not going tight, do you note it while playing it? The note duration are irregular... please keep on working on it and if possible search for some triplets lessons from GMC archive to get used to the sound of them. About the melodic workout, feel free to share it, or to start working with a different backings. Maybe you are bored of the current one. A new backing can bring new ideas. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Alex! Nice video.
It's good to see you playing simple melodies and trying to make the phrases say something. You are doing a very good effort on this workout and it will have good results. The thing that this improvisation is lacking is to apply a bit more the "following the chords" approach. I mean trying to end the phrases on a note from the chord. Maybe you can keep the same phrases but try changing the last note of each phrase and play a note from the chord, preferably the third but you could also experiment with the others... what do you think? is it possible? -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gabriel, my amigo! Thanks for your feedback! Of course it is possible, I will keep working. Do you think this is a good video to practice triplets? Or has you found any better? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beat-Basics-2/ This post has been edited by HiimAlex: Jul 21 2015, 08:11 PM |

Hi Alex, thanks for this new video.
I can notice how your bending and vibrato are getting a lot better. Both techniques still need to be more consistent but the good news are that I note progress on your playing. There are some moments where you are not playing at the right rhythm so it would be good to practice over the original lesson, record over it and then compare what you are playing. You'll notice that you are not going tight with some phrases. Please try it and let me know what you find out... Also, I'd like to ask, how much time per day are you practicing and how are you organizing your routine? -------------------- My lessons
