Hi Farine! Thanks for the update!
Yes, Diamond Head lesson is tight but there are off course many licks to polish there. It's normal if you haven't been training your technique too much. Have you been trying those John Petrucci's warming ups? I think that adding them to your diary practice can be positive. Regarding the song... that's not an easy song to start, but this is what I would do: - First learning the roots (bass notes). This is a big first step. Start diving the song in parts (song structure) and try to learn the roots of each part. - Then, a second step would be to identify if the roots are part of a major or minor chord. Are you able to do this? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Farine! That's a lot better man! Good job!
There is some room to polish the licks to make them sound tighter and cleaner but that's a lot better! We can add a new lesson... do you have any favorites here? -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, great to see you practicing this one!
I see that you tend to rush tempo in many parts. I think that the reason is that you already know the parts but you need more time to feel more comfortable with all those phrases. The next step would be to work on smaller sections again, but this time focusing on details like timing, dynamics, and other expressive elements. This can take the same or maybe more time than learning the parte but it’s what will take your playing to a new level. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gab,
thank you for your advice, I have been absent lately. Should I learn the lessons one by one or more at the same time? |

I think to "Vintage Rock 2".
Like that I work solo guitar and rythm Guitar. It changes that to do only solo |

Yeah, working on solo and rhythm lessons at the same time is a very wise decision. We need to keep our lead and rhythm skills always in shape so go for it!

Hi Farine! Nice to hear from you!! Congrats on your new monitors!
I have to say that this is a very good take! Your tone and overall feel is very close to the original lesson. If you would like take this one even further, you could put more emphasis on dynamics during the first part (melodic sections). Besides that, the solo section is flawless. Then, the triads are sounding clean but I notice that there is still some more room to improve rhythm/groove. It seems that you still need to feel more comfortable with the changes and then put your focus on timing. So, what's next? -------------------- My lessons

If you think that this work would pass to the REC program, then I would like to propose it
Otherwise, I worked on "Romeo & the lonely girl", I will ask your opinion on this one a little later, the time to record a video. I haven't started the lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Vintage-Rock-2/ yet, I'm going to do it |

I would give this take a 7 but I can't assure what other instructors will do. By the way, sharing takes at REC is always helpful!
