Hi Alex,
I can note that your playing starts to have more dynamics but it's not natural and connected with the backing yet. You need to continue practicing this lesson. I also note that the main riff is not sounding tight yet, you also need to continue focusing on timing. The problem is much smaller than the first videos but you still need to adjust it. Maybe using the loop that I've sent can help with both dynamics and timing. Do you note the timing issues on this video? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Alex,
Your timing is a bit better on this new video so you are on the right track with your practice. About the posture, the classical position is really comfortable and effective for playing guitar, the main difference is how it looks. It looks more "formal" and less "cool" for playing rock. This can be a very personal opinion, but when I see a rock player using this position I see him as a player more focused on technique than feeling. But once again, this is a VERY subjective opinion. If this is not a problem or anything that matters to you, you can go for it. About starting with a new lesson, yes! it's a great idea. What about this one? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/BB-King-Blues/ -------------------- My lessons

I dont care looking less cool if I can sounding more good. So i'll keep classical posture for the moment. Nice lesson you suggest to me. I have already bookmarked it. Great challenge, looking a bit difficult at first view. I'll work on it and finish the Muse one. Keep rockin' Good plan! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Alex, the lesson still has timing issues. You are having problems with this rhythm pattern:
pattern.gp5 ( 1.6K ) Number of downloads: 93 This patterns appears all the time in the lesson and you are not playing it tight so it would be a good idea to hear you practicing the pattern over a drum loop or metronome, playing the same note but totally focused on playing it tight. Please do it for 3 days, 3 blocks of 10 minutes, and share a video. -------------------- My lessons

I'm proud of me ! Do you think I can submit it to REC zone ? Or I still wait ? My suggestion is to keep on working like this until Monday, to adjust the rhythm details and then submit it at REC. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Alex! Good job! This lesson keeps on polishing! The timing is getting better with each new take. There are two elements to focus:
- Dynamics - Articulation About dynamics, I feel that you keep on playing everything soft, while this kind of riffing requires a more aggressive picking and also to accentuate the stronger parts of the beat. Listen to the original lesson and pay attention to intensities. Regarding articulation, I still think that your picking tends to sound with staccato effect and this avoid the riff sound smooth enough. Try to make the notes longer to avoid silence between them and to make the riff sound smoother. PS: The reason why I think you have the articulation issue is that you quit the fingers too early... check if this is the problem. -------------------- My lessons

I'm not very proud of this one, I had my hand shaking because of cafein abuse. I try to play less staccato, it's not enough but a bit better I think. |
