You went out of time a couple of times, noticeably at 0:09. You just need to spend more time practising along with a beat and you'll get tighter at this aspect of guitar playing. Rhythm is everything so that is my advice.. play along with more backing tracks and songs You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

As guys mentiond - overall take is nice but need some improvements - especially the timming. To be honest I had to check the original lesson for the right hand movements and I would do it a bit different than Bear did - I would focus on constant down-up movement that we can see most og acoustic player do. It's much more easy to keep good timming. But it's a Bear lesson so Do it they way You feel it's better for You or keep the original movements from the lesson. I think Your timming issue is more a matter of focusing a lot than just a practice You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Welcome back to the REC zone As the guys pointed out the main thing here - timing being it, I will only tell you to focus on practicing slow and understanding where each beat comes. Also, you can record against the original take and notice your mistakes Keep rocking! Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

There are still some timing issues here and there but you will be able to play it perfectly after some more time of practice. I recommend you to practice this one playing over the instructor and pay attention to be tight with him and the backing. Keep on the good job!
