I don't think that you should increase tempo, it's better to be able to master them at this tempo first and then increase it gradually. This style comes from Thrash and Hardcore so working on some easier rhythm thrash metal lesson could be a good idea to get used to this type of riffs.
So the plan: focusing on trickier part and starting some new lessons is a god idea but please don't go for higher level ones since I think that these ones are over your current level. -------------------- My lessons

That's a great track! I like this band. I think that this is a very good idea. Feel free to share here a video of you playing the parts that you've learn after some days of work. In the last days I've been listening a lot to Rise Against and Bad Religion, I could add Lagwagon to the list, and maybe work on a lesson....
The plan looks great, go for it. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Philm, thanks for recommending that album. I'm listening to it right now.
Yes, you can slow down backing's tempo in Cubase. You have to go to audio - process - time stretch. Try it and let me know if it works. There is also a very useful tool called "Amazing Slow Downer" that is very cool for this: -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gab, So here are the new takes. First to the two metalcore lessons. I am not happy with these takes yet, there are still mistakes at this tempo but I think I have got the tab right at least now. Tone is also a little messed up on thees takes for some reason. I am still struggling on the same parts so I will just keep at it.
A Day To Remember BMTH I have already learned quite a few parts to the Lagwagon song automatic. Here is a very rough take below. The parts I can't play yet I left out and I messed up near end so I cut the video off short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJOPBmoXBfM |

Hi Philm! Good work!
I can notice improvement regarding playing an tone on Metalcore lessons. Both lessons have parts totally tight and sections that still need more practice. On ADTR lesson, the main problem appears when you have to play 16th notes, and also re-check tabs for the last riff since the same old extra note appeared there. BMTH has more parts sounding tight and the part to isolate and work is the amazing breakdown starting at 00:53. Great to see you playing Lagwagon song! There is nothing relevant to mark on that video, just keep on playing it to polish each part. This song is easier than the metalcore lessons and that's great because I feel that it's at your current level. Keep on adjusting it. PS: I've been listening to the album that you suggested and I like it. -------------------- My lessons

yeah! it's always better to choose lessons that you¡ll be able to master in a reasonable amount of time to keep motivated but this depends on each person. The good thing is that you are working them at a tempo that is at your level so that balances things.
PS: I'm now re-checking those two songs. -------------------- My lessons

hehehe great job mate!! This is sounding really good! The parts that need more practice are the solo and the riff after it when drums stop the groove. The solo is still sounding like "hurried" and vibrato is not consistent. It would be better if you let the note sound and then add vibrato and make it grow progressively. The riff has timing issues.
Before this, the next thing to give this is "aggression". This is punk hardcore, your right hand should kill those strings! but off course manage dynamics to go with the groove. Keep on the great job! -------------------- My lessons
