(8.8, Pass) Beginner's Corner 1: Open Chords, Lesson By Bear Rose |
|
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.

Excellent job with strumming, you strum all the strings as one, very swiftly, which is very positive thing, and you do it with relaxed motion from the wrist, which is another positive thing. Also, palm muting is being done nicely. Guitar is nicely in tune for the chords too, and you are standing, which is another +
The thing that you need to work on is timing. It's not very good in the take. You need to lock your strums with the drums, specially the snare, and be very careful about it. Try to do it slowly with the drums, and anticipate when you really need to strum the strings. You are mostly rushing ahead of the beat, so try ti fix that. It will be perfect then. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I agree with Ben and Ivan, your technique, sound and chord changing looks great to me!
There's definitely a bit of rushing, it's very common, I still struggle with that a bit, what I do is really feel that you hold back in your body, I kind of do it at feel...Because if I really let myself go with the music I've noticed I tend to rush a bit by default, but when I consciously hold back the tempo intentionally against the beat, I "magically" lock-in much better and sound tighter, So take that into account, but move on to more challenging lessons, -------------------- Visit my:
