To be sure, I tried to make that contrast with aggressive bluesy phrases on another lick and was ok. When I try to make the same thing on our lick is a big fail. I don't know why this thing happens. In our part I think that notes are playing a little liniar and it's hard to make it in bluesy style. If it was a lick with some pentatonic structure were much simple because inspires me to use that dynamic. I tried to explain you what happen in my mind and maybe we find how to fix that problem. Now more than ever I want to manage to make that parts sound as it should. I must to make a perfect version. This is another version You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This is another version You are right...We need to chabge the whole lick One of the reasons is that it's linear in case of rhythm. Maybe try to mess with it a bit more.

Then I decide to change position of playing for that part with one more comfortable. I realised that I "walking" with big movements like a mad man, without reason. And then I was losing the essential, to fix my full attention on feeling not on the movements. Of course is not perfect but I think is a big difference because is more emotional You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I tried to analyze again the whole lick and I think that something is missing between the two bends with raking. In the last version between bends we had a little crescendo. This idea is ok but not satisfactory. I thought the good thing would be to add another 3-4 notes aggressive in that part and then to make a very small crescendo in the final. But it was not a good idea and didn't sound like it was in my mind. Where I do wrong and what can I do to sound as it should? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I mean more very short but fast licks at the higher strength moments. Maybe try to treat those soft notes with triplet feel too You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think this time, soft notes is not really soft because I don't know what happend but when I saved the demo everything was to loud but the volume of the guitar was at half.

Aug 13 2013, 03:40 PM	Instructor Posts: 5.871 Joined: 29-November 12 From: Poland	I think You should go to next part. There is no "correct" version. Otherwise we would all play exactly the same You csan always go back and add some changes if You feel something is missing but for now the tension grows in a very good way You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Aug 14 2013, 09:53 PM	Learning Tone Master Posts: 2.324 Joined: 12-July 13 From: Bucharest, Romania	I tried to lower the guitar volume at the end of the intro and the difference is hearing disturbing. Do you think I should play more soft that part of the end? I think I made the same mistake and again I have too manny notes played with picking and because of that the sound is not warm. About the second part for intro you have right and always go back and add some changes. So, after we will finish the whole song I think we should go back to the second part I don't know how to explain it to you, but I have the feeling that part is good only half. I didn't taken full advantage of this part. But now I will concentrate for new parts You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It's good choice because If You'll put 100% into some middle parts and it will sound like they're not ok with the rest of the song the this time is wasted You can always go back. My only advice for that part is that there is no breath. To many notes. Good dynamics concept...But You didn't left the "relaxation" moment for the listener. I would only remove a few notes so it won't sound so dense You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I left more space So, how do you think it sound now? Am I removed too many notes? One mention, the first bends from the first part of intro is around tone I concentrate only for the new part and I made some mistakes You didn’t say anything about the last part of intro. What do I do wrong in that part? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Watching Your take I found You're holding the pick on the flat side of the first finger. I did the same through a few first years of playing...but I had to switch to the side of the finger to be able to make one step further....We have to talk about it on the next video chat...please remind me Also I would like You to try this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Blues-Dynamics/ There some dynamic and rhythm groups we might like to use in poor puppy workshop I think You're gonna like the lesson You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I never thought, you will see this thing in that short video. But.....your vigilant eyes miss something, I hold the pick with 3 fingers not with 2 fingers It's hard to explain how can I do that big stupid thing. You're right and I like Piotr's lesson. Coincidence is that I just looked at it this morning (until you to give me the new task) and that part with Gary Moore style is awesome The only strange thing for me is that I love to listen blues but You can't imagine how much I hate to play blues. Maybe because when I tried, I failed to play with correct feeling I will make this lesson, but I will not rush to finish very fast because that phrasing is not easy to imitate.
