Great! I like the energy of your vibrato here. I notice a bit improvement comparing this take with the previous ones. This means that the current work is exactly what you need. Your timing is also getting better. The fast ascending passage is a bit rushed in this take but the overall lick sounds smoother. Also, continue paying attention to those trills like the one at 00:13. (Attention to timing). I think that you only need some more time of practice. Well done!!

There is still room to work on the things that we've been discussing but this is a lot better! It's nice to know that the vibrato practice ideas worked! Another detail: That slide at 00:20 needs some attention. You play it very slow and it sounds like out of tempo. Check our how Emir plays it faster/smoother.

At this point I think that you improved a lot you overall timing here but now you need to polish details. The things that need to be worked are the same that we already talked, but now you are much closer. I’d like to ask you to do an exercise that will be very helpful for your ear training. Please make a deep comparison between your take and the original and write here all the differences that you hear. Ok? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Feb 23 2021, 07:00 PM	Learning Roadie Posts: 238 Joined: 1-October 20 From: uk	Hi, so good excercise, here are my main conclusions: - my trill 00:06, is quite slow (it is actually no a trill!!) - 00:24, my trill is also slow - 00:41, fast lick the last part is still off (in that trill) althought not as much as the the previus trills. The bend in this one is not perfect - trill on the last lick is also a bit slow Pretty clear I have speed issue on trills!! overall tone is not identical, but I think is ok. As you said timing is decent (trills excluded) what else did i miss? thanks, Claudio QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Feb 21 2021, 07:32 PM) Hi Claudio! Great job mate.

Mar 2 2021, 07:14 PM	Learning Roadie Posts: 238 Joined: 1-October 20 From: uk	Thanks Gabri, I think I have learned a lot with this lesson, but yeah I agree I can probably still improve a few bits, so will defy continue to pratice it (i do not think i will forget the lesson easily ) These videos for the feedbak are really helpful, I have read on the forum that you are receiving great feebacks on them and I couln't agree more, it makes it much easier to understand what i'm dong wrong and how to fix it, and also more fun to watch it. Anyways I 'm happy to move to Pop solo #2 on my list, where I'm sure I will find new weaknesses to focus on, soon will see my first attempt! Regarding your suggestion about other lessons on alternate picking ad legato, yeah abosolutely do you have anything in mind? I'm also doing the SBC with Todd, so definitively alternate picking is happening there, legato wise yeah I have done very little (which might be the reason i struggled so much with those trills!) cheers, QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Mar 2 2021, 03:14 PM) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
