This take is very good and I think that the only improvement you could bring, would be to make it groove a little bit more - but that's something which will come with time and practice, as at this point it's a bit rigid. Also, take care with the final vibrato which sounds a bit out of pitch. Another important aspect would be your right hand - you seem to hold it in the air when picking the faster runs - it would be of help if you would have your wrist positioned on the bridge and pick from the wrist not from the elbow - definitely more control over the playing will come in handy Keep rocking, Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There was one main improvement I think you could make... in the main riff, you end the E note slightly too early for my taste. You can hear the note I mean at 0:05. This happens during every riff. If you could stay on that note a bit longer (and add a small bit of vibrato) before changing that would sound much better ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

However there is still room to improve. There are 3 topics that can be better and you will notice what I mean if you compare your take with Sinisa's. This 3 topics are: Groove, Dynamics, Smoother playing during fast sections. There is not too much to say about this, just check Sinisa's lesson and pay attention to these topics, you'll see what I mean. Keep on the good job!
