Task 41: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The-De...Is-In-The-Diad/
Gentlemen, I bring forth a rhythmical feast of crunch !! 2 note chords that, once learned, can be moved around in any scale using just 2 finger positions. You can play them as a chord or separate the notes as I also do in the lesson, which is something you can put into a solo. It's a strangely lilting backing track but once you get used to the odd timing, it's nice and flowing. Deadline is next Friday 16th November or you'll be feasting on raw onions for the next week.

The Devil is not in the Diad! It's in how #@%$^&* hard this is to play at speed.

Hey everyone,
It's harder that it seems... The fast part is hard to get in time. With a metronome, it's diabolic !:) Here is my offering : http://soundcloud.com/grindguer/the-devil-is-in-the-diad Sorry Christophe, I won't let you eat anything else than a potato this week

I think your timing here was really good... just a few missed notes here and there where the pick didn't quite catch it. You have a really unusual tone here. It's hard to describe but it almost sounds 'squeaky'  Congrats on your Donut.. Christophe is going to be plotting his revenge now !!

Just to make things easier, here is a second take without that chord changes.
Hope my tone is a bit better. If I should post this in the REC corner, what would you say Ben ? http://soundcloud.com/grindguer/the-devil-is-in-the-diad-2 Bonne nuit. -------------------- �Million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.�

QUOTE (GrindGuer @ Nov 13 2012, 07:40 PM) Hum, I understand your frustration. I didn't think I had made a mistake there, because it was the way I thought it was played. Sorry about that...  It sounds good that way too, doesn't it ? Hey man, there's no frustration here... I'm sure we all meant this in a fun way !! You're deserving of the Donut, don't worry ! It does also work with the chords the other way, yes ! QUOTE (GrindGuer @ Nov 13 2012, 10:02 PM) Just to make things easier, here is a second take without that chord changes.

Your first tone was also ok.. just unusual I think it's the sound of natural compression when you're on a mild distortion that gives it that weird squeaky sound. I would definitely say that's worthy of a REC |

QUOTE (Christophe @ Nov 13 2012, 02:27 AM) I don't agree ! This shouldn't be allowed ! Since you failed the first chords which was the easier part of the lesson I'll call my laywer and I'll get donuts interests !! Takes coming from Rock Star should be perfect Ben ! Am I wrong ? If you allow this, it's the end of the world as we know ! Very funny Christophe - I think we need to come up with a strategy to slow down the donut king. Grind is eating far to many donuts! maybe we should get cookie monster over from sesame street! But then again he may only like cookies Hey Grind very impressed mate good job on this one. I couldn't believe how quick you got this down it's taken me all week to get here. I'll watch out for your rec video. Mr Ben - This has been a great workout this week. I really thought I wasn't going to get a take up at all, I would keep getting lost all the time. My key in the end was to use guitar pro and go from 75bpm play through up to 80 bpm play through up to 85bpm etc. I love tight timing stuff it sounds great and something I need to really work more on. Cheers Ben http://soundcloud.com/zoomify/devil-in-the-diad Love your backing track Ben! Drums are awesome. This post has been edited by zoom: Nov 16 2012, 08:28 AM |

Can't believe how much your timing has improved... you'll be playing second guitar for Megadeth in a couple of months time I reckon ! I really like the single note bits starting from 0:36 and again later.. the note separation could be a bit clearer so watch out for unwanted string noise by using your right hand to clamp down onto the strings in between hitting the notes. Do you remember my palm muting video ?? I talk about this kind of thing in it somewhere.. Well done warrior !!
