Hey Andrew!
 This topic will be used for commenting all of your videos! Comment on your take on Marcus Lavendell´s Neoclassic Lesson for Intermediates. I see that you have already some experience with playing guitar as you fingers are flexible. However, you need to work on precision. This take was a bit sloppy (as you already said via MSN  ), but let´s try to improve it.First of all, slow down! That´s essential if you want to play cleanly. You know what you have to do with both hands, but they aren´t synchronized. Daniel Capezzuto´s Finger Independence Series is an excellent exercice to work on that. Try to play those patterns with alternate and economy picking and only down/up strokes. You also mentioned that you use your pinky very rarely. Take a look at all those shredders like Rob Marcello, Steve Vai,... . All of them don´t hesitate to use their pinky. Your pinky is your best friend and useful.  Take a look at Dejan Farka´s Little Finger Workout.All in all, I want to start working on your hand synchronization and finger strength. Those few lessons that I gave you are perfect to use as warm-ups in your practise routine. If you see an improvement after a week or more, please post another video and we´ll have a closer look at the other points. And don´t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions!Cheers, Tolek |

Comment on your take #2 (Neoclassical)
Better than before! Timing was excellent again. Only the bends are a bit out of pitch, you should try to pay more attention on the bends. So, the next lesson might be a bit tricky for you: BENDINGS!. For sure, this is going to automate pitch control while bending.By the way, you are posting a lot videos and I gave you much lessons to practise. I don´t want to overload you!  Plus, it is better to practise few things and do it detailed than to practise a lot and do it not in detail. So, I personally would suggest to try to post more videos of your improvement (as you did just now) and then when you nailed a lesson to continue with the next one. Do you agree?
