Original lesson: Basic Rock Guitar: Bending & Vibrato by Guido Bungenstock
This was a great lesson, I have played it countless times over the past few months every day for a big chunk of my practice. The speed lick at the end was way beyond my ability, but pushing to get it has really taught me a lot about how to approach developing speed in general, so that was incredibly valuable practice. I think I have taken this one as far as I can right now, I need some fresh material for inspiration. I probably can play every phrase of this a bit better, maybe not when that recording light is on, but isn't that always the case :) Thanks Guido for the lesson and to all the instructors who take a listen, I really appreciate it. --------------------  |

Well played! You've got good control over your vibrato, good control over your muting, and good control over your picking. The bending is good as well. in a bit like this, if you miss one bend, it sticks out quite badly. It's very easy to miss a bend by just a pinch and have it ruin an otherwise fine solo. I can see you put in some time on this one to be sure!!! All of your practice and work is on display here. Each bit of technique you've worked on in Bootcamp and else where is coming in to play. I'm sure you can tell where your practice is paying off, or at least I hope so!!
There is one small niggle I have with the run at the very end. In the original video, he is using a technique where he starts the run slow and then speeds up in the middle of the run to increase the perception of it being played fast by contrasting the slow and fast. Your playing is more linear than his and loses just a pinch of the dynamics of such a lick. Being able change tempo mid stream is not an easy thing. It's work working though. Watch his body language as he plays that lick. It's a mirror image of his intensity and speed through the lick. Like he is starting at the top of a hill rolling slowly down and picking up speed right before the end. I hope this makes sense? Still I think your version works well and you clearly have this bit down and are ready to move on IMHO, solid 7!!

Hi yoncopin!
Your take is really good. I've listened it for the first time and honestly I've found it flawless. Your bending and vibrato is consistent and your timing very precise. Also, your tone first well with the backing track. Then, I've played the original lesson and noticed some differences regarding dynamics and articulations. I feel that Guido's has more dynamics and a stronger feel thanks to the use of different strenghs but also to an interesting use of articulation. I would dedicate some time to notice these differences and work on them since I think that it will have a good impact in your playing. Other than that, you rocked this one. Cheers! -------------------- My lessons
