Task 49: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Slides-Bends/
Greetings my friends and fellow travellers of The Way. My most recent lesson has handily dropped by in order for me to present it to you as this week's Task ! As the title suggests, it's all about sliding and bending. Take care to memorise the phrases as they can be quite tricky to remember. I know from experience, trust me !  Also notice the timing of everything. Try to get as close as you can to the timing of the phrases, ok ? Deadline is next Saturday (Yes, I'll allow that!) 12th January. |

I was quietly hoping I would see a take from you and that you didn't think that the Bushido Tasks had automatically become void. In fact, I shall continue until we reach Task 52, if you're up for that ?? 52 Tasks makes 52 weeks which would be 1 year exactly !  Ok onto the take. I'm mightily impressed. It is a difficult lesson, deceptively so. I had trouble getting the phrases into my head to memorise them because they're not the obvious things that one would do. Your bending is great.. getting better all the time. I'd say this is clear proof that by pushing oneself with higher challenges, you automatically grow to meet them ! Sliding is also good stuff... in fact, the only thing that stands out as a down side is just going in front of the beat occasionally. Not only learning and playing the phrases but then keeping everything controlled and well paced is yet another challenge, isn't it ? But you did very well sir and yes, I will be presenting you with your Donut !!

Hey, guys! ^^
I know that I'am already late but I made a video anyway, so here it is: Bushido Task #49 The strings are now carved in my fingers. You should've seen the agony in my face on the 100-th take, but I suppose that's the price for being late. I know, "No pain - no gain", but I need my fingers for the next Bushido Task. I bow before you, master!  PS: Congratualtions, zoom! Great playing! ^^ This post has been edited by Quantum: Jan 13 2013, 03:25 PM |

With that Strat.. it's like what it might sound like if Yngwie Malmsteen was playing it I really like the way you manage to make the pick bite into the strings when you need to, like at 0:43. Perfect !!
