Gilbert Made Easy, Lesson By Ben Higgins |
Rules

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.

Original lesson: Gilbert Made Easy by Ben Higgins
Hello and thanks for the feedback on the first video! I've started working on reducing the picking motion but I guess it will take a while until it's noticeable. :) |

Hi Tadas!
Good job here! I note that your right hand movement is a bit more economic here. I think that there is still room to make it smaller, and that your right hand fingers also could separate less from the fretboard when they are not pressing. I notice that your right hand doesn't look comfortable with those 3 notes per string patterns. I think that some legato practice and focusing on relaxing and pressing with less strength will really help. You can check these series: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/lessonser...Land-Of-Legato/ Besides that, this lesson sounds good, I only think that your timing could be tighter and that this is totally related to the things that I've commented previously. And again, your tone and vibrato are very enjoyable mate! Your playing is very promising, keep going!!!

NICE!! I can see you've reduced pick motion/wag, but it's still a bit wide for Gilbert style licks. Try to use only the tip of the pick and don't go to deep on each strike. See how shallow you can make the strike and still make it work. Your vibrato is nice and wide but it doesn't swell up. Good vibrato starts small and then swells up to wide then back down. This creates and emotional impact in the listener. Go back and listen to the control of vibrato in the original.
Your synch is quite good here as is your palm mute. Putting all of these things together is NOT easy. It's a wide variety of techniques that must be brought to bear in order to play this. That defines Paul Gilbert style. He combines many techniques in nearly flawless fashion while playing ridiculously fast and apparently without any real effort. It's something worth shooting for. Well played. You get a solid 9 from me! Todd QUOTE (Tadas @ Nov 25 2020, 07:27 PM)  Original lesson: Gilbert Made Easy by Ben Higgins Hello and thanks for the feedback on the first video!
