Sorry for the lower sound but because it's night, I had to keep it low It was very interesting learning this. It was really hard to capture most of the details and I still feel I can get some more accuracy on certain points. I took the liberty to correct some bends with some slight vibrato (specially the one at the end where I realized it was going sharp) so I hope that's ok. I missed the harmonic note on the third lick (only hit one note) but it will be there on the next take Let me know what you think And here's an improv. You might have noticed that I never passed so much time doing blues as I am now with you but I did try my best to get the bluesy feeling coming across although sometimes I can tell I'm too harsh and could work on more dynamics.

Both videos are very good, and I think that you already commented which are the things that you could work in order to take this two vids to a new level. Your playing is tight and consistent, but there is some more room to give this more feeling by the use of dynamics, vibrato and some other expressing techniques that you can learn from the lesson. You still have more days to polish this one so keep working! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Nov 9 2016, 05:21 PM	Instructor Posts: 36.043 Joined: 3-March 07 From: Argentina	Nice ones mate! I can notice big improvements regarding the elements that we've talked about. This guitar has active pick ups, doesn't it? I think that's one of the reasons why getting the right dynamics for this lesson is a very tricky job. However, I think that you are getting a nice feeling on this one, and that if you continue experimenting in this direction, this will impact in your overall playing. On the other hand, we could consider this assignment passed and done, unless you want to keep on practising it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I would rather have something fresh now if you think we can move forward, I really spent more time with this one than the other ones. To be fair, I found out that I underestimated myself for quite sometime. Normally, if I didn't have to submit an assignment I'd think this was to hard for me due to all the details I had to consider, but I feel like I did a decent job so kudos for challenging me like this You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

So many little details and so many things I don't normally do or use. It's been a great practice, I feel like I still have to work a lot on it, but here's a take for you to get an idea of how I currently am. I'm missing some notes because I have some fingering to correct in some licks as well which causes some timing issues and some less fluid movement.
