9 coins awesome!! Cool, I am listening to SRV right now, really like Texas Flood and Scuttle Buttin. Also listening to jams of the masters on youtube.
I'm also thinking of trying a REC take, is there any you'd recommend for my level? I liked this lesson a lot https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/80s-Hard-Rock/ |

Ok mate, this is the new assignment. We will continue with blues now covering an amazing blues players called Kenny Wayne Shepherd (very influenced by SRV). I also added The Tasty Etude which could be a good first step into the direction of the lesson that you've shared. What do you think?
ASSIGNMENT #4: Goals: - Melodic Playing - More blues phrasing! TASK 1: - Work on this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Kenny-...pherd-Phrasing/ - Improvise over the backing track. TASK 2: - Learn this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The_tasty_etude/ Exam and deadline: By September 29th you'll have to share 3 videos: - A video playing the blues lesson (4 coins) - A video improvising over the blues lesson (2 coins) - A video playing The Tasty Etude (4 coins) Each of this videos will be evaluated (check the coins value below). You need to get at least 7 coins to pass. If you pass, we can continue, if you don't you will have a second "call". -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Your work on these tasks is very promising. I think that you've done a killer job, and I think that there is still more to get from this lessons so I'd like to extend the deadline to give you some more days to work on details.
Please focus on: - TIMING - Bending - and other expression details. for each of the videos (including your improvisation). The new deadline is October 10th. Ok? -------------------- My lessons

Hey, I'm trying them again, I'm not really getting which parts to improve, for timing and bends and generally. Could you give some specifics to focus on?

Sure!
Timing: On Tasty Etude: the first 00:30 seconds are not tight. I can't mark a specific phrase, the whole thing has notes or groups of notes that are like "hurried". Then also at 00:37, 00:38, and from 1:01 to 1:09. On KWS: at 00:47 and from 00:53 to the end. Bending: On KWS: 00:05, 0:19, 00:23, 00:28, 00:38, 00:45 and 00;49. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate,
good! The lesson needs some polishing regarding timing, bending and vibrato but I think that we can move forward. Motivation is the main goal! I think that your idea of deadlines can really work. About what to work... are there some songs and lessons that you have in mind? -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Great job! It's absolute brillliant the fact that you've learn this one by ear. I'll send you some tabs via PM to let you adjust some little details that you need to fix in order to play everything correctly.
Regarding the improvisation, this is a good first take. I think that you still need to experiment with this in order to get more defined phrases. By now you seem to be exploring the scale, now it's time to say something. Incorporating some licks from lessons can be also a good idea. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/sl...esson=2;forum=1 And also check out these licks: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=43287 -------------------- My lessons

Hey, thanks alot for those links and the PM! I'll do the proper recording as well as the improv, I am just going through all the Slash-style videos and so need a few more days, is that OK? What do I say, I don't have anything to say I don't feel creative while improvising/write riffs/songs anymore (I used to) because I fear no-one has the time to listen to it. That's something to work on outside this site I guess Can I recommend a book? http://kennywerner.com/effortless-mastery -------------------- My lessons

This is the energy that you need in order to play guitar so I think that now we are on track. Please keep me updated. -------------------- My lessons

Ok mate, I think that you need to get into some rocker licks and patterns that will give you some phrases that will be your starting points for improvisation. We have lots of great Slash lessons here that you can work. But I would suggest you to give a try to the concepts shared on this one:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ise-like-slash/ It's an old lesson, but it includes many tools that can be applied over the song that you are playing Please check it out and let me know what you think. -------------------- My lessons
