Warrior Bushido Task 14, continuation of intermediate/advanced threads Options

[Ben Higgins]

Greetings Disciples !

As I mentioned here, the Intermediate and Advanced Bushido threads will now come together as the Warrior thread ! As the last Intermediate Task was number 13, we will be calling this Warrior Bushido Task 14 to keep things even with the Apprentice thread. Hopefully this will all make sense

Task 14: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The-Vo...Of-Your-Guitar/

You may think, 'What ? Level 3 ? But the Apprentice thread are doing a level 4...'

Well, the individual techniques that are found in Cosmin's lesson may be around a level 3 but to get the level of expression, control and articulation he does, you're going to have to dig into masterful levels of feeling.

There's so many subtle nuances in the micro bends, the bends that are sometimes delayed.. the slides.. the mark of an experienced player is whether they can bring out these elements so be assured that is a worthy challenge for you guitar warriors.

Also, as I said in the Apprentice thread, it's the last Task for April and I want to round off the month by giving you a nice piece of music to play as you've concentrating on specific areas of technique up until this point. This is a chance to put lots of things into practice - Enjoy !

Deadline is next Friday 4th May

Ben, thank you for the kind words. I totally get what you're saying about the gradual bends. I definitely have a tendency to bend faster than I should for a more emotional piece like this, even almost pre-bending in some cases. I'll work to smooth out my playing a little more and try to get that true "crying" effect.

For my tone, I just use Guitar Rig 3 (favorite amp is the High White). I've got 3 patches that I pretty much stick with all of the time. Two for the heavier distorted playing and one for the clean - slightly dirty playing.

Have a good one!

I totally agree with Ben here subtleties are desirable in this piece, although your bends are technically very correct! Go with the flow my friend! An congratulations!

Thanks Cosmin. It seems like an easy lesson watching you play it but this song is jam packed with subtlety. I had a good time learning this and look forward to learning more of your lessons!
