Ok Disciples, before you have breakfast you need to do morning exercise. 100 squats followed by 4 laps of The Temple and 50 push ups to cool down with
When you've had your fill, pick up your guitars and start learning this latest Task, which is an attitude filled, hard rock bending frenzy ! Not only will you get to flex your bending muscles but you might pick up some cool rhythmical lick ideas too !
Deadline 27th April. If you fail to meet the deadline then I'm afraid it's going to be the testicles this time.
The things you make me do.

Here you go master. The last part is really hard plus I think theres like slight timing issues which I never seem to figure out. Hope its well.

Great work !
Your bending and vibrato really are killer I didn't notice any timing errors myself.
It looks like the weather was warm enough for you to take off your coat this time !!

Thanks Ben. Yep, the temperature is around 32 degrees and its hot and humid. Haven't rained and hands get sweaty little bit which makes it hard to slide on the guitar. My throats are all dry. Hope it rains soon.
And the worst thing is I am suffering from cold and cough at this heat which is making it even harder to breathe.

It's the other way around for us in the UK.. rain, rain, rain. Nearly got stuck in a flood this morning

Hi Guys, just wanted to direct you to the update in case you miss it
Still feel nervous while recording these, and I end up fretting a lot harder
Criticisms:
1) Bend at 0:23 is sharper than it should be 2) Doublestop at 0:33 could ring out more 3) Still lacking tightness, generally

Yeah the nerves and self consciousness can really make your fingers feel like lead !
Ok, you've analysed your take.. nothing for me to do now.. bye..
Nah, I'd concur with the same things, mainly the bend and just tightening up things but that's about it. But you got nothing to worry about, you're like 400lbs of muscle haha

Yeah, sorry about that, I can nearly always see my mistakes when I play, don't want you thinking that I'm oblivious to these things! You have pointed out things I didn't notice before (e.g. in the legato task), so I still appreciate the check
As for your last remark, haha, there must be something in the water round here..
