Here's my take at Max's Bending Ballad, one of the tougher lessons I've learned. I do have a couple flat bends in there I know and there is one missed note towards the end but I found the trickiest part was playing it 'quietly'. I could not get around what seemed like pretty excessive string noise and it really made me appreciate how quiet and clean Max played it. Looking forward to your comments as usual!

There are some details regarding bending and some noises as you noticed but it's something that you will fix very soon. Keep on the great job!

Minor mistakes are happening because of lack of overrall control, just practice What I can suggest is to take a closer look at rythm of runs right before first two Fm chords, right now you have it quite far from original ones You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
