Wow, great challenge for all levels !! The motivation is there with all these beautiful solos...
Hm, maybe I'll head for the fusion lesson, I just have to make sure I'll be in time though ...
Cool theme and choice of challenges Smells, this should be fun
This is going to be cool and interesting. I'll keep checking this thread
Very nice choice of challenges. Turned out that I didn't have time for last month's challenge, as I was working on my apartment etc.
Hopefully I'll have more time this month, though I have no idea which challenge to go for yet.
I´ll try to upload my take on the advanced level. However, I have to figure that lesson out by ear/eyes because my subscription ran out.
Hmm it seems that this months challenges are "Muris Challenges" Will try to have a go on the beginner one, this time with video image, not sound only...
I started off with a whole bunch of different lessons for each level and I couldnt decide on which to use so I decided to go with a "Muris" theme
I might actually continue this idea for a bit, taking a particular instructors lessons for the challenges each month
I´ve got another question. Do I have to use the backing track? I can´t download it because of my expired access...
I probably give the intermediate challenge a try
Great choise of lessons.....
The beginner i think i can do pretty easy but i will try the intremidiate and advanced one to.....
need to work on tapping and legato
Wao, those lessons a quite a challenge ... i have spend the weekend working on the fusion and tapping/legto lessons. I have to admit i'm suffering a lot. With tapping anyway, i work since a while on that, but i always have these timing flaws in there. The fusion jam ... oh my.., the notes are all over the place
Hope i will get some takes ready in time. I only have one week left as i will not be with my guitars the last two weeks of november
How is everybody doing so far ?
I tried to learn the fusion jam but it is out of my league. i wont be able to learn it in time so i will have to go with the beginner lesson wich i can play but it still need some improvment
Oh lord. Muris? Ain't gonna be easy
But I don't have to worry about it couse my subscription ran out last weekend.
So I can't participate
This is going to rock so hard
I can't wait to hear everybody's takes on these.
Good luck guys
That intermedeiet fusion jam is kicking my balls.....
It is so hard to play it along with the backingtrack with all the wierd timings and all that stuff....
The good news is i can play the first half pretty good with the backingtrack but the second part is going to take some time espesially the last part......
heres a question:
does the recording have to be exact to the lesson? or are you making it your own?
and also how do you get the backing track to put in the video? or do you just try to record both at the same time?
Ohh,I'm honored being theme for this month challenges!!!!!!
Speaking of backings,
I can post them for you here in the thread if
our admins/stuff are ok with that?
if u could muris that be greatly appreciated
I guess i do the "kickoff" ...
Here are my entries for the "Muris rulez" november challenge.
I have practice a lot on both lessons, advanced and intermediate. Not sure, i think only the tapping lesson will count for the challenge, but i practiced both so why i should keep one for myself.
Tapping & Legato:
This take is with 160bpm, a bit too fast for me to really have control. I practice with a drum patch and it's going well up to 145bpm. Over that speed i need a dampener, mainly because of the string skipping part in the middle. Self-critic on this take are some timing flaws and i messed up a bit the last notes completely at the end .. each time i do that btw.
Fusion Jam 110 bpm:
This is a great, but for me complicated lesson! I'm not finished with this one yet. So much to improve, but learned a lot already!
I hope you like it and good luck to everybody who are still practicing hard ..
btw .. starting saturday, reality calls and i will be off for some weeks. Hope i can pass by from time to time, otherwise take care everybody ... (puh, i miss this place already)
@Wrk: I just wanted to say that your video's look very cool! Nice filming!
Great takes wrk Congrats
I know I shouldn't talk a lot here about takes
but that was amazing job wrk.
Wrk how old are you dude? You have youthful hands - you kick arse at guitar dude
Great take dude!!! U use a dampener in the tapping video?
Thanks guys, appreciate the comments !!
@fatb0t: i'm 36, ...
@Pizzoaro: yes, a hairband close to the nut.

Playing a gig in drop c, so i use 0.13 strings now! its 21. nov. so i have like 3 days to change strings and record xD
I will try to have time to make a vid
oh! by the gods!
i had read this topic just now!!! ok ok, easy...
i think that i can with the begginer level...
good luck to all!!
When is the deadline for this? I'm going to try and record tomorrow. It has to be a live recording doesn't it? Not a recorded take with video miming?
I never managed to complet the fusion jam intermediate lesson so i will record a take on the Lydian solo
oh... i rec a video yesterday but without the backing track at the moment is all i can do.
im trying to upload the video on youtube... but is a long work....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1NPbQstFOo
hope you will not kill me. i think that my rythm is not good at all.
i accept all kind of comments
haha. This is the first time I have put a video on Youtube And it isn't good. I await my 1 star
Nice takes, guys.
My take of the advanced challenge will come tomorrow. =)
Here´s my take: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M_Ws4hwM6Y
Might just dig in with a quick take at the lydian lesson.
Damn! I had it the first time I played it through, but now... it has taken me 50 times through to record nothing good at all...
It´s a bit late, so your fingers might be a bit tired. Just try it tomorrow again. When you wake up, have lunch then warm up and play that challenge.
I am looking forward to your take. I like all of your videos, Ben.
Don't ask me what the hell happened... but for now I'll just go with this...
Haha! Nice take, btw.
You look like a post man.
Thanks for the comment. The middle part was improvised... haha. Don't know why I did that, but I got tired of not being able to get it off rightly, so I'll just go with this
Here's a Youtube-link for easier acces:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anCaU6OUngY
Haven't been processed yet though.
Oh, yeah. It´s ok now.
I subscribed to your videos.
Straight out of bed, this was supposed to be a little better. Sorry for the two takes on this one.
Here is my take on Lydian lesson
in the first post in this it says deadline is 24th... i was gonna record tomorrow...
