Winter Tune, Lesson By Piotr Kaczor |

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: Winter Tune by Piotr Kaczor
Hello, This is a very nice lesson, and it's a little harder than it looks. In the beginning I had so much trouble with the part where the lead guitar starts, I had no clue "what note and where to play that note", only if I was to play with the instructor, on the backing track I was clueless. Now I am not so clueless, but I am sure there are still timing issues. I am pretty sure that the bendings could be improved also. The palm muting on the last string is sounding with a lot of noise, I checked the other strings and it's not making so much noise. But still I gave a try to play this lesson because it covers a lot of ground for me that I feel it needs to be polished..

Well done on learning this entire thing. It's not an easy piece of music and you clearly have put in some practice time on it! It does indeed cover a lot of ground and a ton of different techniques in one piece so it's well worth learning. I enjoyed your performance and you look like you are having fun playing it which is always important. It starts to run in to trouble about 1:23 where it seems like you lose track of the open string bit and stumble just a pinch til you get back on track. The open string work in this is another bit that's just not easy. Add to that, wads of string traverse. It's a complex piece. I gotta give you props for taking a swing at it. I think you may need to focus on everything after 1 minute a bit more and try one more time at a rec. Don't be thrown off by this. It's always worth doing a REC lesson really well. These are graded with a high degree of precision and difficulty as your rank is permanent and just like your musicianship, is earned a bit at a time. Dig in and go for it!!!

Hi mate!
This lesson is a masterpiece, and as you've said, it's much more difficult than it seems. It covers many different techniques and elements. The main things to fix here are: - Timing: This appears mostly in the first section when you play palm muted power chords. There, you are not going tight with the backing track. You tend to go after the beat. The lead sections are better but there are a few parts where your timing is not precise, for example in the first solo phrases. - Bending: Your bends are not reaching the right pitches in the final section of the lesson. Isolate them, play the target note and then bend to it for some minutes every day. - Vibrato: Your vibrato is not regular, sometimes it's weak, other times it starts to soon and makes your soloing sound like "nervous". We have many cool lessons covering this technique, check out our archive! There are also other things to fix here that you and other instructors already commented. I recommend you to work on smaller blocks, focusing on one element at a time for some more days and share a new take, maybe in 1 week if it's possible. Cheers! -------------------- My lessons
