Hi Trond !

Finally I've recorded my attempt to your great string skipping melodies lesson.
(Thanks again for the BT )

I know it's not perfect so any suggestions will be well appreciated !
(Sorry for the last three notes btw )

I'm really looking forward to hearing this! Too bad I'm stuck at work now
Will be home in a few hours to listen to it

Finally got to hear it and i thought it was good

The playing itself is tight enough and the timing is good.
But .. the first thing that caught my ear was that your guitar isnt fully tuned. Would have sounded 10 times better if it were tuned.
But other than that, i liked it and thought you did a good job

Thanks Trond
Glad you like it, It was a little challenge 'cause I've never played String skipping before.

For the tuning I know.. I was so concentrated on my playing that I didn't realized that my guitar was not totally tuned

to prevent that I suggest that you always makes sure that your guitar is in tune before you start to play, when you change exercises, before you record anything. Just to start to really recognize how is should sound so that you later, can tell if an instrument is out of tune directly.

yes that was very very good man! Just like what was said, make sure the guitar is in tune. The fingering and technique was very well done. You should be proud. I'm not used to string-skipping yet.
