Hi Victor!! Great thread!
Recording our practice and listening to it is the best way to evolve as guitarists. Receiving feedback from more advanced players can help us to improve much faster. That's why I can't agree more with your post and thinking. Some comments based on this video: - I recommend you trying to relax more your left hand when playing legato, and what's even more important, get notice of the amount of strength that you are using to press frets. We usually use much more strength than we need, and the result is that our hands aren't relaxed. As a results of this we can't play fluentier and faster. - I notice that your hands lose some sync when playing at 120. This is normal, you are working on it, but be sure to practice a bit slower and increase speed focusing on hands sync. - When playing the picking version, try to keep your left hand fingers closer to the fretboard. Notice how your pinky separates too much when it's not playing. The whole hand movements should be smaller. That's all by now, I hope that it helps! Keep on practicing and sharing your progress here! -------------------- My lessons

I am new to playing legato like this, like in a continuous motion. I played hammer-ons and pull-offs, but it's just a bit compared to this. I started to notice that I don't need to press the frets to hard in order to make the sound come out, so it's getting easier. Here is my next exercise: Great job here! I can notice that you left hand is more relaxed compared to the previous video. Maybe this is because you are not used to legato, but that soft pressure discoverment is essential. We need to always try to economize strength and movement in order to have a efficient technique. Your hands are perfectly in sync and your timing is tight here, well done!! -------------------- My lessons

My last video called "Alternate Picking - 80 BPM" was taken from the first half of this lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-thirds/
I think there is another issue in my video like video and audio not synched The audio starts with one musical note earlier, if you look on YouTube at 25% speed you can see that. So my finger plays the first note the audio plays the second note and so on. -------------------- |

You can always re align the audio and video in your video editor. Just break the audio/vid apart and slide the audio a bit till it looks right. Also, snap your fingers on camera at the start of a video. In your editor you will see the snap and you can see the audio wave form so you can line them up to get good synch.

Good job Victor!! This technique is definitely on the right track!
One small tip: - Try to make your right hand movement more like a single sweep in each direction. Try to do it the smoother possible. Avoid "separating" strings. Does it make sense? Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons

Yes, it makes sense, but I am doing a continuous motion, I am not separating strings. If necessary I will do another video to show my right hand closer, playing slow, then fast, focusing on the movement without the metronome. Yes! I know that you are not separating consciously but I feel that the movement can be even smoother. Just put some focus to make it even more like a sweep and you'll get the effect that I mean. Thank you for your answer. Where did you hear the missing notes? (or where didn't you hear the notes) The only place I can spot is at second 47, where it sounds like a muted note. I think that this lesson is pretty long for me and changes to miss something are getting bigger. I started practicing a few measures every week, the another few measures next week and so on. And now I am starting to put all together. In addition to what Kris said, I think that the "missed" or not completely clear notes are happening because of hand sync issues. It seems that your right hand is going a bit faster in some parts and that why I notice missed or not completely consistent notes, for example between 00:46 and 00:51 and around 00:57. -------------------- My lessons
