GMC Forum _ Practicing (Muris) _ Beginner Solo In D

hey muris, i attempted your begginer solo this morning, after learning all the parts and putting them together i recorded it.
dont suppose you could help me figure out where i need to improve could you?

i know i missed one note in the hammer on (g and b strings) part but that was just an honest mistake and i was too tired to record again

Cheers

Nice job,very nice!

I see you've changed few licks time wise but it sounds nice this way either.
I would work a bit more on muting,both left and right hand.
Try to take more "grip" on neck,use thumb to mute low E when doing bends.
Also focus your self on muting strings you're not using with your right hand palm.
Add some vibrato to it and you're set to go.

vibrato, muting and thumb action

Its funny is spend some time earlier today to learn this exact solo, its great fun to play and though it seems easy it still takes some time to master, including bends and vibrato, gj Munta

Spot on,bends and vibratos are one of the most important flavors,
when you have it done right it's just like cream on the top of the cake.
