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.

Original lesson: Vai-able Hammer-ons by Ben Higgins
I thought this lesson would be super-easy. I was wrong. Though there are few notes to pick, there is a lot of control and precision to apply on the fretting hand. I enjoyed learning and practicing the notes. Also enjoyed finding a VAIable tone :D Video contains 2 parts: 1) video practice and 2)audio comparison, original track on left and my practice on right side. I also practiced a few times E Lydian scale over the Jam Track, and that was fun as well. Not recorded yet but maybe in the future. My video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_acjbSrlDuU Thanks for this lesson, Ben! -------------------- Begginer at GMC, passionate for music and guitar

Hi Oscar!!
Yeah! Legato is much more difficult than it seems. You need to do the right movements (hammer on and pull off) and strength to make everything sound clean and clear without the help of your other hand, but besides the sound, I can assure that timing is also very tricky when playing only with your left hand. You playing is not bad at all, but there is some room to polish each of those elements to make everything sound clearer and tighter. I remember Steve Vai saying that he practices some vibrato licks (like the ones in this lesson) every day to keep his technique in shape. So this is not a momentary exercise, it can become a cool warm up in the future. I can hear that your tone is very close to the original. It's always important to dedicate some time to train our ears and experiment with guitar tones. Well done! Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons
