Your playing is smooth, bluesy, laid back and very melodic and musical. Love it! As far as the lesson goes, I think you got most of it down, but you're playing it a little ahead of the beat. Try to relax it more rhythm-wise, and get the phrasing a little better. Overall I think you did a great job and I encourage you to keep on recording yourself more. Kudos, bro!

Your tone really works with this track, I love that woody, hollow sound you got goin' on. As Jacob has pointed out, I feel your timing is quite stiff. You're not 100% relaxed with the phrases. You haven't made them 'yours' yet. By contrast, your improv afterwards is much more like it. You're letting the phrases tumble over the beat in their own time, you're not rushing it. Because you're not following an exact script I think you're more relaxed there. So if you can get the lesson stuff more like the improv stuff then you're cracking it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You can play all the licks without any wrong notes or weak parts. However, as the other instructors have already said, there is still room to give more soul to your playing. The main things that I consider you can develop on this one are: - Timing - Dynamics - Vibrato - Tone So my recommendation is to listen to some great blues players, or also the original lesson which includes a great blues interpretation and pay attention to those elements, compare it with your own take and see how you can continue improving your blues playing.
