GUITAR BUSHIDO: INTERMEDIATE
Congratulations warrior for taking your first step on the path.. TASK 1: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Metal_Patterns_1/ One of the biggest things that affects many of us guitar players is hand synchronisation. I'd like to address that issue straight away and work with you to improve it. Only with better hand synch will you be able to break out of your barriers and reach a higher level of competence and dexterity. You don't have to be a rock or metal lover to benefit from this either  Your task is to record and upload a version of this lesson by Wednesday 1st Feb. Feel free to use this thread to ask questions, post try-out videos to get feedback and even swap advice and experiences.. this is what it's for !  I warned the Beginner group that for each deadline missed, 1 finger will be broken. However, you guys have an even higher level of responsibility so 1 finger and 1 toe will be broken for each task that is missed. I don't enjoy having to punish anyone.. it hurts me more than it hurts you...
