QUOTE (Vince09 @ Jul 9 2014, 12:35 PM)  Ok Gab  Back to the same old problems.I will work harderDon't worry! You just have to concentrate on this things. Playing blues licks tight over metronome is a very tricky thing, I would recommend you to use drum loops to make the job easier at first. For bending, if you work on this exercise 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the night everyday, the problem will disappear and you will become great at bending! -------------------- My lessons

I would try to do less strength with the right hand or move it closer to the bridge to have more defined notes. Please try it and share a new video. -------------------- My lessons

I set the Gain setting on my amp to 50%,I hope now it's better.I barelly touch the strings with my right hand and I can't go closer to the bridge,I am almost puting my hand on the bridge and it's not a comfortable position on a Fender bridge

Hi Vince! It's better but I would still experimenting because the notes could still sound clearer. I notice that your right hand can be even closer to the bridge, try it! just a bit and share the recording with me to see if it sounds better.

QUOTE (Vince09 @ Jul 15 2014, 01:42 PM) yeah mate! It's much better! Is it possible to try this with distortion? Practicing clean is very good for precision but using distortion is also good to be sure of the tone that you get and that you are muting the extra noises that appear when you have too much drive. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Vince09 @ Jul 16 2014, 12:12 PM) Hi Vince, the sound that you are getting is better and now I can focus on details. The things that you have to focus now are timing and accentuation when you play alternate picking with palm muting. You seem to play softer when you play the muted sections and I don't note the small accentuation that you should give to the first of each 4 16th notes. I can also notice that your playing isn't tight in these parts. The best way to improve this would be to isolate the palm muting parts and practice them as a loop over metronome or drumm loop focusing on sound, timing and accentuation. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Vince, I think that your right hand could be more relaxed while you play this exercise but the motion seem to be right as well as the sound that you are getting. However I recommend you to use your guitar less inclined while you practice, to avoid an extra inclination of your right hand. Do you understand what I mean?

Yes! You have to avoid practicing for long periods with that guitar position because it's very different to the one that you'll have when you play live, standing up. Practicing some minutes standing up could also be helpful since you will notice that it feel different than playing sitting on a chair. Use both ways but avoid your bed, it's even not healthy for your back.
What about the blues dynamics lesson and your bending technique? Have you been working on it? Did you notice any improvements? -------------------- My lessons

Everything sounds fantastic man. Getting a new chair specially for this means that you are giving a big importance to your guitar practice and that's very inspiring mate. Great decision!
In this video you will maybe get ideas on what things you should have in mind when you choose a chair for guitar practice: -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, that's a very cool list! The reason why we need a trained ear is because our ear is the responsible of connecting our mind, our creativity with our fingers and guitar. Improvisation, composition, rhythm, bending, dynamics, vibrato, everything depends on what your ear captures and send to your mind, and how your mind decrypts it.
Let's start with this song that is the easier from the list. I shared a youtube link where you can't see kurt playing. There are two tricks that you can use to learn the song. The first one can be found explained on parts 5 and 6 of this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Riffs-Ear-Training/ It includes a nice assignment that you can also try try. The other trick that you can use is the software slow downer that allows you to slow the tempo of the songs without altering the key. It's a great tool for learning tricky parts but you can also use it for starting. What do you say? Are you in? -------------------- My lessons
