Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.
The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Original lesson: Metal Essentials #8 by Darius Wave
Trying to rehearse some tight metal before going to studio with my own band soon. Note 1: Tried double tracking guitar as an extra consistency challenge. I`ll reupload if this is not allowed in REC. Note 2: Sound/video is sliightly out of sync, due to poor clipping options in windows movie maker. My mac is on service :( -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself

First off congrats on learning this piece and being able to play it all the way through. This is not an easy bit to play with all the down stroke bits that are quite brisk. As Kris mentioned your alternate picking is going well! It's not until about 36 seconds in when things get a bit off kilter with the down stroke bits in the fast section. You are just a pinch behind the beat and I can feel your hand trying to rush to catch up a bit.
I'm with Kris that isolation of those sections is the best way forward. Isolate the down pick section and slow the tempo until you find a comfortable speed and then slowly speed up the metronome until you get to the correct speed. One quick tip. Just something to try. I call it "thumbless technique". See if you can pull your left thumb entirely off the neck during the really fast down stroke part. It will remove the tension in your left hand as it only lets you fret with your finger tips. It's often the extra tension in response to fast play that causes problems. This technique doesn't work always for everyone, but it's a very good way to reset the tension on the left hand. The less tension the better. Original lesson: Metal Essentials #8 by Darius Wave
