Hi friend! Welcome to our thread for Gab's Army!
At first, I will share here a routine that I recommend to work during the next 3 weeks in order to master the things that I noted you have to improve based on Metallica's lesson take. Besides this exercises, please keep on working on the musical lessons that you bookmarked. These ones are long term lessons to polish your technique: - Warming up http://youtu.be/1XsLRQFV7rY - Alternate Picking https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Altern...king-Workout-2/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Altern...king-Workout-1/ - Bending https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...String-Bending/ - Vibrato https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey-5/ http://youtu.be/Hh_pYY6UYIw - Legato https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato/ -------------------- My lessons

Yes, I can hear the pitch issues in the video. It's still difficult to hear and make my fingers do when I'm actually playing though. I've practiced with the original lesson, with the backing track, a metronome and unplugged around the house. After reading your response it reminded me of what I did for the string bending lesson, record a drone note and bend/vibrato to it. It's less cluttered for my ear and I can sit on one note as long as I need to work on the muscle memory. Are all the vibrato lesson pitches essentially repeated half step bends? This idea sounds promising. The problem is related to tempo, you need more time to be able to think on all the things that you need to think so that's why your idea or working everything at a very slow tempo is the key to progress. Vibrato is not always half step, sometimes when it's fast, it can be less than that but your ear must be trained enough to be sure that you are not making it sound out of scale. Listen to guitar solos, or instrumental guitar songs and pay attention to vibrato, try to notice how much they are bending the strings up and down. Listening and analyzing is part of the learning process. I've been making these last few videos to sort of document my progress as a video diary like you mentioned. I know they aren't perfect but wanted to share how hard I've been working on these lessons. These two pieces are the only things I've been playing for the last few weeks and I've been spending a ton of time trying to perfect them. Maybe it would be better to post less? It's the best thing you can do, record, listen, share here the more you can. It's an excellent diary of progress and let's me monitor your practice. Sometimes I'll repeat the same things many times, but don't worry, it's just to keep you focus on the right things. -------------------- My lessons
