Hi Laurent,
yes, chords are great to understand the fret board, that's why I think that it can be really useful to go deeper with theory behind chords and progressions. The song is on the way, but you have to practice! Many chords sound with muted notes, and there are timing issues here and there. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Laurent, this song is really making you work hard! That's great!
The take has clear timing issues so you still need to continue working, but your mind needs more days to assimilate the licks so take your time and be patient. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Laurent, good job! This is getting better. You still need to continue adjusting timing but the good news is that you are much closer now, so you are working it right. In order to adjust each phrase, I recommend to work on small block again, this time focusing on being precise with rhythm, notes duration and timing.

Not crazy mate, it sounds VERY normal for me. I've been playing guitar a lot for 22 years.

Hi Laurent, this is evolving really well!
Some details: The lead guitar that appears at 00:25 is a bit loud. The distorted section at 00:44 could sound tighter, work on the connection of the chords and also on the single strings details. In the end, when the solo starts I notice that your bends are not totally on pitch, work on it too. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons

That's normal. Maybe tabs are not completely right or maybe they simplify things for playing live. It's different to play sitting down at the studio than playing live, so you'll find that many guitarists sometimes simplify or improvise some parts at concerts.

Hi Laurent, this is getting better, good job. It still needs polishing but I can hear that your timing is tighter, the chord changes smoother and the lead guitar is also a bit more adjusted. There are some fast licks in which I note that your hands are not perfectly in sync, you need to work on it.
Keep on practicing. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Laurent, it's great to know that this songs are making you practice a lot! Playing along with songs that we like is the best way to get in shape in a real musical situation. It's much better than practicing exercises because you play the real thing, rhythm and lead guitar. Keep on practicing this stuff and if you want to make it even more helpful, analyze what's happening regarding theory.
