Ok so i've created this topic in order to give my opinion about lessons on the student instructor competition, all the lessons were great but i've tried to criticize in order to allow people to progress, i hope you won't bother it:
Superize : i like the fact that you've introduced a technique that we can rarely find, playing in octave is really cool. Since the lesson is focused on playing with octaves, i can understand that they are every where, but you're using them in rythm like if you where using 5th chord (T+5), that not how i would use them..and a song made with only octaves ... i think you should use them in part of the song, that will show their true valor. whereas, i think it's a great lesson, specially for a guy that only played one year. keep rockin
Ztevie : I really liked your lesson, and i also like the phrygian dominant scale. progression of the song is nice. too bad there's no guitar pro file. it we be cool too if you've put a mark, when you play a typical phrygian dominant note, like when you play major third or minor second ... but your lesson rock dude
, i've enjoyed watching it
Deeproots : it's cool that you've answered people demand on recording with reaper. whereas, i think your lesson showed the real basics of reaper, no new tricks, and since there's a lot of reaper tutorials on youtube or google ( you can just type recording with reaper and there is lot of vids) i think you should have put more tricky stuff. But your lesson is still cool, and i'm sure it helped a lot of people.
Audiopaal : that's a cool rock chord progression and your video is funny. your lesson looks more like a fun trip than a guitar lesson, it gives happy mood. But your chord progression is quite simple, and it's always the same melodie repeating, it doesn't shows tricks. Since a lesson should learn us something, i think it would be better if you've added a little guitar solo, like recording yourself twice in the middle of the song so you have rythm and lead. thanks for your lesson though and love the hat mate.
Gus : Your drum beats are really fast in comparative to your solo, it's like if you're playing at 90bpm with drum beats at 180 bpm! also i think your playing needs more feeling, to make it alive, maybe using some vibrato can resolve that ... and carreful for speed runs. thanks for your lesson
Vic Black : your lesson looks more like a song than a lesson, it's heavy i like it. you should work on playing cleaner, and your sound well actually, i don't know what to say about it, cause sometimes i think it's real heavy and it rocks but maybe lowering the high or adding some contour (if you have it) will give you a better sound... i can't really give you advices about it, because i don't know what is your gear neither your settings. keep on rock'in
I'll like this topic to have lot of feedbacks for every participants, i think criticizing is really good for improving.
