I lost it a bit toward the end, as you can see my AP is my nemesis. Youtube butchered my tone man, I worked hard on it too! Anyway...Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated my freind.

First,you should REALY play more with your pinky. There are many bends in this lessons and every time you've done bend using middle finger, just because your fingering has made it that way. Use more pinky and you'll have your ring finger ready for bends! And for tapping part,each first note(tap note) for each chord should be on first beat in bar,focus more on that and you'll have it damn soon, good work!

And she is right! You should be very proud of where your playing is at after 1 year. Your not just picking the notes either. Your using a nice vibrato here and there to give the note a meaning. I can't wait to hear what you sound like this time next year You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

You seem to play with feeling, but the only real problem was the tapping part, but that´s just a little timing issue like Muris said. Are you going to post another video when you have gotten the tapping part down? And by the way, cool and unusual looking guitar you got there. Is it an Ibanez?

I know my limits and try to stay right on the edge. I do push myself on harder lessons though just to get use to the feel. @ Gilmore, thanks man, I do plan on doing another when I can nail it! About the guitar, yeah, a little unusual I was wanting A Jackson DK2M that runs about $599. They have the H-S-H set up and the p/up's are Duncan Designed which I would have changed. I ran across this guitar as a factory 2nd which has a little chip that's hardly noticeable. These are special runs from Jackson that have the EMG 81/85 combo installed at the factory with a routed battery box. Shipped to my door for $619 I must say, I'm pretty happy with it.

Dude..If your take isn't proof positive what GMC can do I don't know what is. I thought that take was awesome. Yes, there are areas you need to improve. I think they are more "advanced" type skills and I have been trying to learn them myself and they are not easy. I have developed so many bad habits over the years its been tough to break them only to play correctly. For what its worth man I thoguht you did a wonderful job. Im glad you found a passion that is the guitar. Noone can tell me anything is better. Hobby that is.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I thought you had only been a member of GMC for a year. When I see how much you have progressed it makes me embarrassed that I am not better than I am since I have been playing for almost 20 years Good job man. I am hoping to do an SI lesson on tapping and sweeping etc. Maybe it'll give you some more ideas. Keep rocking dude!!! Monte You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
