This take is slowly building up and I can see you are working hard to pull a good one out of it Now, what I see as a main issue, is the fact that you are not dead on with the chords - there's that little latency - when you strike the chord you are not quite in time. Not too much, but enough to be heard. Have you tried to tap your foot when practicing this one at slow speed, so that you may feel the groove and automatically the exact moments when the chord changes occur? I remember we spoke about this in your thread keep on rocking and please let me know if there's anything I can help you with Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Also, you're very hesitant when playing them.. try to make your strumming hand move a bit more. Don't be afraid to hit the occasional unwanted string as you will get better at targeting the exact strings you want. The rhythm can usually be found easier when you take bigger swings with your strumming/picking hand The other things is to try and stay on the chords a bit longer before changing them, if you can. I know it can be hard because you've got to think quite hard about moving your fingers to the next shape but if you work on this you'll reduce the gaps between chords until you're moving more seamlessly.

You are not going tight with the backing,most of times you play the chords a bit after the beat. Also your strumming is a bit weak and in some cases (for example the G chord) you are not playing all the notes that you should play with your pick. My suggestion is that you use slower backings to concentrate on this things. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It seems to me that this is maybe your problem with a timing. Crank up the backing, and let the rhythm take you !!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I can hear that you are on the right track! It takes time sometimes even more than you are expecting! Just keep practicing it using a metronome and you will get it right!
