answered Really sorry man, I am fixing it right now. My computer crashed and I went back to the collab thread to pick up all the takes again. Somehow I missed yours. Please guys let me know if anyone else is missing. It all went wrong when I reinstalled my system and lost all my collab work. I will fix it straight away if I messed up. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Gus (9:48 - 10:55) Another stereo track Just read jafomatic’s and bladzerok’s comments and I don’t need to repeat it. Nice playing Gus. Your rock feel is very good. There are things you could work on. The first thing is the control. On 10:04 there was that first dirty unarticulated noise which shouldn’t be heard in a studio recorded take. You have tools to mute it before exporting the track. I heard some other minor ones but they were on the edge of acceptable range Vibrato was present most of the time but it really should be more consistent. Especially when you bend and hold the note vibrato should be really wide if you want to sound like a pro. Your bends were good btw. Some rhythmical problems were noticeable all the way from 10:24 – 10:29. I am talking about the hammer ons and pull offs. Rhythm placement of those licks was all over the place. Hi Emir. Nice job with the mix. I heard it fully a couple of times already! Thanks a lot for all the comments. They will help a lot! I will try to further incorporate those things into my practice routine. Can you suggest a tutorial or something on how to remove the noise before exporting? After struggling a long time with out of tune bends, I've been working on bends so it is good to hear they are fine. However I do have problems with bend+vibrato. I am playing a floyd-rose, so when I bend and than do vibrato the tension varies a lot. If I make it too wide I always find it out of tune . Can you suggest any tips or exercises/lesson to make proper bend+vibrato? -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Hi Emir. Nice job with the mix. I heard it fully a couple of times already! Thanks a lot for all the comments. They will help a lot!

After struggling a long time with out of tune bends, I've been working on bends so it is good to hear they are fine. However I do have problems with bend+vibrato. I am playing a floyd-rose, so when I bend and than do vibrato the tension varies a lot. If I make it too wide I always find it out of tune . Can you suggest any tips or exercises/lesson to make proper bend+vibrato? You should practice bends and vibrato with both fingers and floyd rose. I don't really have any tips for bends. They just need to sound in tune I just hear when they are not. Bend with the 3rd finger whenever possible but press the 1st and the 2nd as well so you have more strenght when bending. About the vibrato you can read in many of my collab comments about it. I think I told something in the leedbreak's comment, that might be helpful. That noise wasn't from the guitar sound. You played something unarticulated When that happens, just mute that part or cut it in your program. When you polish the take then click export Thanks for joining Hi Emir, thank you for your long comment I did not ignore the changes you made on my gp file on purpose. It just somehow slipped through... sorry... The other thing you mentioned, sloppy pinkie use, is one of my bigger problems. I do that for years and its hard to get rid of. At the moment i am practising scales all day with correct finger palcement to get more pinkie training. And the vibrato is another problem i am working on. Do you have any suggestions, maybe some lessons, i could learn to help building up vibrato skill? For the sound, i will listen to the other takes So, again, thank you for your time and help! This was the first thing i "composed" ever. And i am glad i had the chance to do it here with your help! Thanks for collaborating man. I have just told Gus about the vibrato. I mentioned that in many comments in this collab. Read leedbreak's one. If this is your first solo composed then it's awesome. My first solo wasn't even near this quality You're doing good just keep coming back and I am sure you will see the improvement.

This means alot to me. Thank you very much. Regarding the sloppy playing, I'll admit I sometimes get carried away when playing/recording and that is something that I really do need to work on. Thanks again Emir. Thanks man. All credits to you for a great take Rated Htr is uploaded and the mix is updated with his take -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Thanks Emir for your comments.
I already noticed that the whole thing did not flow like it should be ... and this while even using alternate picking . Anyways, somehow I could not get it right this time at all, which is probably even more obvious in this take due to the large amount of long notes. Will certainly practice this until I get it right as well as with the vibrato. -------------------- "Don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you can't get it wrong."

Anyways, somehow I could not get it right this time at all, which is probably even more obvious in this take due to the large amount of long notes. Will certainly practice this until I get it right as well as with the vibrato. Well I am sorry because you said you played alternate picking. It's good that you are aware of the things I mentioned and I hope you know the way how to improve. If not feel free to ask anything and I am here 24 hours for everybody. Your take had some great parts but that connection has to be improved Hi Emir, thanks for the comments and congrats for this overall great work. I´m seriously thinking sign up you for making backings and final mixes to my compositions. So which is your buy-out clause? 96 euro millions, like Cristiano Ronaldo? No problem: I will talk with Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, for lend me this money. In the next hours you will receive a call telephone from my manager. Hi Sergio I never liked Ronaldo hahah. My favorite player is Messi. He costs less than Ronaldo and I'll be happy to get half of the deal. Tell your manager to call me asap Thank you so much Emir, this means a lot to me! Yes, this is my flying V Yes, when I was done with my take I noticed I had the same lick as you on two places. Will work on the bends Thanks for the nice words once again! And thanks for this collab, looking forward to your next! Thanks man, you're an awesome player. I see a bright future in the music career for you. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

... now if I can just get to where it sounds like Steve Vai playing an interpretation of Bach! Don't really know about Vai but some lines were really Bach style ... I'll go back and check that out. One of my main goals for this collab was to make sure my note choice was perfect harmony wise over the backing chords. That note sounded just right to me, I'll have to see where it's wrong and try your suggestions. I was listening to your take then I took my guitar and found it That note wasn't right but hey, it's just one note hehe. Easy to fix. .... more legato work in my near future. That technique took me years to develop to a decent level. I always tried not to play it much because my solos used to sound better without it. Now I am ok with both legato and picking but it really took time until I got relaxed. I am sure you know the way how you're going to practice that Thanks so much for organizing this collab Emir, and for putting together such great and well though out comments. It's a great learning experience to have someone with a critical ear listening and giving feedback. Awesome! Thanks. Trust me that for each take I spent at least 20 min analysing. One take is about 1 min long and I don't mind listening 20 times until I find the right words to explain what I think it can be improved. I am not saying that I am always right but I just hope that some of my advices can help. Thanks for joining this collaboration and welcome to every next one Feel very happy about what I think it's bad Let's get improving ^^ Awesome collab, thanks Emir Thanks man. The main problem was that I couldn't mix your track the way I wanted but your playing was ok. Thanks for playing with us -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

Thanks for the great learning experience and in depth comments. These collabs are helpful in giving us direction and setting goals. Only bad news is I have played much longer than 2-3 years. But since I have been on GMC for that long maybe I can handle that depressing comment. ((Truth can hurt so bad)) I look forward to your next one. Can I auto join it now. lol Yes you can auto join I am sorry if I missjudged your playing experience. Saying that you have been playing for 10 yeras (or so) and saying that you've been constantly practicing for 10 years is not the same. Which one of these is true? If the second one is true then you didn't have a well perpared program that would make you sound like a pro as in 7-10 years you should be able to play like a pro. GMC has some great examples of how people here can improve. The one that comes to my mind right now is Superize. Just a year ago he was really a beginner level. Now if you look at his REC takes he usualy gets all 5. You just shouldn't lose continutity in practicing and everything will sit on the right place soon. The fact that "truth can hurt so bad" is sometimes true but believe me that I receive negative comments every single day. I always learn something from each of them unless they come from someone that really doesn't have a clue about music Don't worry too much about that. We are here to help you go the right direction and your job is to practice and impress us -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>
