Hi Rated!
From what I can see and hear on your video, you are doing the things in the right way. The target pitches are correct so you just need to keep on repeating the bends in order to get familiar and always hit the correct pitch, as well as connect everything smoothly. About the double string bends, I think that your second approach is the right one. The idea is to pick he string while bending in order to give the bend effect sound, and to do the transitions between bends, the smoother possible. The is some kind of silence in between but it's the minimum possible. Other than that, I don't find anything else to fix, you just need to keep on getting familiar with the licks. I hope that I understood and answered your questions. If not, keep on asking!

Great! You are doing a very good job with this lesson. I think that this work will have a very important impact in your playing. The lesson still show some pitch issues in a few bends, mostly in the last section. I think that it would be a good idea to keep on working on this lesson during this weekend in order to polish all the bends.

Hey Gab,
Since the take wasn't fresh and I wanted to show you a take from my practice session of the day, here's a new update. I didn't record video because it was late at night so I hope this will suffice for now  https://soundcloud.com/filipe-rocha-4/bendi...-take-5/s-wmwHg This post has been edited by Rated Htr: Oct 14 2016, 09:31 PM -------------------- Currently Practicing

Awesome! This is much better! Be careful with the bends at 00:32 and the double string ones.
I suspect that you'll master this one by the end of the weekend.

Good job man! This is much better. The bends that still have room for improvements are the ones at 00:35, 00: 45, 1:03. Practice them and you'll master this one perfectly.

Hi Rated! Great job! This is much better!! There are just a few details but we can consider this a pass! If you still feel motivated to play this one focus on the first double string bends which are very close but there is a small difference.
If not, let's move to the next step. -------------------- My lessons

Good job man! Just two comments:
- Your vibrato could be more regular. - I would try with a cleaner tone which will bring more dynamics. That's all by now, keep the hard work! -------------------- My lessons

Great job! The lesson sounds much better both your playing and the guitar tone. The improvisation is also a good first one! As a part of the exercise I recommend you to do some analysis of the longer notes used in the original lesson and how this notes relate with the chord sounding at each moment. Then, apply some of this to your own improvisation.
