Take 3: Beginner's Corner 25: Alternate Picking, Lesson By Bear Rose |
|
Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.
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.

Hi Tom! It's great to see you working hard and progressing!
I can say that Ben's suggestion about resting your right hand will be a good improvement in your picking since you are now doing the movement better than in the past. You used to do some fingers movement while now you focus your motion mostly on your wrist. Combine both things and I think that the little timing issues that you are having on this one will slowly disappear. Please try it and share with me a video to check how it goes. -------------------- My lessons

HI Tom - I agree with others. Even though you managed to play the notes pretty consistently and in time in this take, I don't think this hand position/technique would work well when playing in general. Try to relax your picking and find a more comfortable position. Your first take on this lesson seems to feature a more natural and relaxed picking hand position. Please record one more take on this one (this will also be a great opportunity to practice playing tighter in time, especially in the second part where full band/drums kick in), by experimenting with a different picking hand position. I think it will only get easier from here once you have up/down mechanics down and more comfortable. Here is a cool lesson with some alternate picking details : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Altern...Picking-Basics/ (it covers some advanced stuff, but if you haven't watched - please do).
