Alternate Picking Workout #2, Lesson By Darius Wave |

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: Alternate Picking Workout #2 by Darius Wave
Hi GMC! I have to admit that the last lesson was a bit hard on my ego, I knew my take wasn't great but I worked very hard on it and I didn't expect that it was THIS bad :/ Anyway, you're right of course and that's part of the journey! Thank you for all your advice and for being that benevolent, I'll try to build up something solid from now, piece by piece, instead of trying things that are way over my head. I hope that this take is ok! |

Hi Sack!
I don't think that this is a bad take at all! I can notice that you've been working really hard, and there are many positive things happening here: cleanness, timing, hands sync. These are very important elements! The first thing that I would improve here is tone. I think that you added too much reverb or maybe delay, and I would also add some more presence (and treble) to give your tone more definition. Your playing is good as I've said, but sometimes I feel that your left hand is not completely comfortable with some lines and vibrato. The problem appears when you need to play stretches, and you use a more "classical" hand position. Be sure to use your left hand thumb to help the fret fingers press correctly. It's also recommendable to use your 3rd finger to help 4th one when doing vibrato. (for example at 00:59). Ok mate, I'll give you an 8! -------------------- My lessons
