Hi Gert!
It's awesome to see you working on this lesson because, in this way, we can fix your picking technique.
Before starting with the feedback, I have a request. When you have a lesson which is still in working progress (not ready for REC), please post your take in the Practice Room.
You will receive from us the same feedback there, but the advantage is the fact that we can talk together. You will be able to respond on that thread and if you have questions or you don't understand something, we can fix this immediately.
Now let's return to your take:
Your right hand looks way better. I like the fact that now you have a good resting point. That's a really good thing.
Now, let's make a step further and fix another important thing at your right hand position. We will add the palm muting technique to your playing. At this moment, your right hand doesn't mute the strings. If you add gain in the tone, the noise will be huge. That's why we need to fix this issue.
If you take a close look in the lesson at Ben's right hand, you will see that he rests the outside fleshy part of his picking hand near the bridge of the guitar. When he plays, his hand still mute the strings.
This is what I would like you to do. You need to always keep your hand in touch with the strings. In this way, you will avoid having unwanted noises.
Keep in mind that we don't use the palm muting just to create an effect in sound. This is what helps us to play clean and this makes a huge difference to our overall performance.
Here you can see the difference between your hand and Ben's hand:
Other than this, I like the fact that this lesson improved your upstroke picking. Also, you have a great sense of rhythm and that is amazing!!!
I think you can try to play the notes even more equally. Some of the mistakes are because of the left hand, but we will fix this problem after we finish with the right hand.
I don't want to give you many tasks at the same time. Tiny steps are better and will help you to make constant progress.
Continue practicing this lesson and after you fix the right hand position, I will give you a new lesson. Something more fun for playing.
BTW, after you learn the main techniques and you will achieve level 3 of difficulty, I will give you some lessons (I know how important is for you to receive lessons from us) that will fit with your preferences (the style of your guitar heroes). I'm sure this will make you very happy.
Keep up your great work!

Rules
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.
