Beginner Sweep Picking, Lesson By Darius Wave |
Rules
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.

Welcome to REC!! The rec program is great because it gives you at least 3 different critiques each time you make a take!! So here we go!! i gotta say you did quite well here! Your picking and hand synch and string muting is solid. Also your timing is very solid as well. You didn't miss a single note!! The production quality is workable as well. Sometimes we get submissions where we can't hear the backing or we can't see both hands on the player etc. Not so here! Well done.
The only problem I see is that your guitar may be slightly out of intonation. Basically past the 12th fret, things may be a pinch out of tune, even if your guitar shows as perfect on a tuner using open strings. You can adjust this yourself but I would not suggest it if you have never done it before. I'd say try to take it to a luthier if possible and tell him to check the intonation. But that's more about the gear, now about your playing! Your technique and timing are both solid IMHO, Solid 7 from me!

Hi George!
You are doing a great job at GMC! Your take on this lesson is very promising. You can play the whole thing clean, with tight timing and without any relevant issue. I just feel that some more practice will make you feel more comfortable with the different shapes and your posture and overall feel will be affected, making the final take sound smoother. If you compare your take, the main differences are related to articulation (duration of notes, smoothness) and dynamics (the different intensities used as an expression tool). The more you practice this one, the more you'll be able to add this elements into your playing. The overall sound is better on this one compared with the other REC takes you've shared. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons
