Thanks Gab,
I think that is how I will try to choose lessons from now on where possible. Obviously there will be times when I need to work on techniques and things but that's something else. I'm really struggling with bar 11, it just isn't sounding right, I've even slowed it down to 30bpm to try and find out where the issue is, could it be the way the string is picked in the lesson? I've circled the part where I just can't seem to make the notes sound the same. It sounds like there's an extra note in there that isn't in the tab but I'm probably wrong.  Thanks Gab. For future reference, we were talking about this awhile back, maybe even last year. I couldn't explain what I was getting in my head. This video is just the thing. I think it would be great to have a series working from complete newcomer to this kind of playing, throwing just a couple of notes in here and there and build up to at least level 4 type lessons. What do you think? https://youtu.be/OoE0PQNjW9Q This post has been edited by Phil66: Aug 15 2018, 08:03 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Gab,
I've left the above post without editing as maybe you might work out why I was thinking what I was thinking but, I have sorted it out. No extra notes, just phrasing. Also please look at the blues vid lesson thing. Here are a couple of takes. The first is me playing along with the lesson, the second is me with the backing track (I'm hard left, as if you need telling  ) . The backing track isn't that good, I used the same guitar track over both but for REC obviously I would only play along with the backing, it's a shame the backing isn't full with bass etc, it makes it harder to get the feel.https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/srv-vibrato-take-1-with-denes-70bpm https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/srv-vibrato-take-1-phil-with-backing-70bpm Cheers buddy.

Hi Phil, the notes are correct and there is no lacking a note. However, there is a trill happening there that is not tabbed perfectly. Just before the hammer on from 15 to 17, the next note is also legato (pull off), and this moment is fast. A quick note about this lesson. This lesson was not listed at GMC archieve because it has many errors and lacking elements. We wonder how you could find it. There is no problem working on it, but this is a note to explain why you'll find issues in this one. Sorry for inconveniences. Check this video (I'm not tuned flat to I'm playing one fret lower)

Ok, I'll check it out, I didn't really pay much attention, I just dropped my track onto it after lining up the count in beats in Reaper but what about the playing of mine? What do you think to that.
No worries about the inconveniences buddy, others have managed to make REC takes with it so I should be able to too. Thanks for doing that video Gab, I didn't spot it until this morning (this is an edit). I'll check it out this evening. All I did with the backing track was match the count in with the lesson track in Reaper. The guitar track is the same on both. I only did it so that you could hear my guitar more easily. I can’t remember how I found the lesson Gab, towards the end of May we were looking at improving my vibrato. We looked at some of Ben’s Vibrato Odyssey lessons but I didn’t connect with them as they weren’t in a true musical context. That’s when I found the SRV one by searching for vibrato lessons (I think that’s what I did) and mentioned it HERE.

Hi Phil!
There is a dramatic issue with the second audio, and it's not related to your playing. I want you to discover it. Check it out! -------------------- My lessons

Hello Gab,
For some reason that video won't play in Chome, when I click on it I just get a white page mainly full of black diamonds with white question marks in them, I watched it via Firefox though, very strange. Anyway, i think I'd cracked it before you posted the video but thank you for taking the time to do that, it makes me feel better that I had got it, (I think). Regarding the second audio, I've listened for my entire practise session tonight, I might as well give in trying to be a musician if I can't hear something that's so dramatic   I've played the lesson along with the backing on a different track, the lesson with my guitar along with the backing on a different track, as many variables as possible with tracks panned hard left and right to help and I can't hear it, I'm just plain useless and so frustrated.Apart from me saying it was recorded at 70bpm when it was actually 75bpm: 1/ There is no clipping. 2/ The chord changes seem to be in the right place for a I IV V 12 bar though I couldn't tell you if the notes are correct. 3/ The only thing I can hear strange but it's probably correct, is the last bar on the backing sounds a bit funny to me, timing wise. At least I've given the blister on my fingers tips a rest  Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Hi Phil!
Nice to see that you are doing a deep analisys of what I'm saying. I'm doing this just to give you time to find out the different things that can be happening. I recommend you to play the backing track roots over the first audio, and then do the same with the second audio. Listen carefully while doing it. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gab, I fully understand why you're doing it, it's good to be tough with students up to a point and it can only do me good. From what you've said, it appears that it's my ears letting me down. I'll look at the tab you created in GP file and play the root notes of the chords and let you know what I discover. Cheers Phil UPDATE: I think the chord progression is wrong. I worked it out and it seems as though it is B (I), E (IV), F# (V) which after some research means it is in the key of B but the solo is in the key of Eb. I still don't understand why it is F# but I guess it's all related to scales. I hope I'm correct as I've not played again tonight, plus I;ve had a new phone (Samsung S8+) to set up.

Yeah!! You did it mate! Congrats!!!
The backing tracks are in the wrong key compared with the main video and tabs. That's why the lesson is deleted from our archive. We can't fix this issue so the lesson is not available anymore. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gab,
I didn't notice it due to my skills at the moment. Hopefully my ear will tell me once day. I wonder how it got into the REC three times. In that last take above I transposed the backing into the correct key (I think) but obviously it affected the drums too. Am I still ok to go to REC with this track?

I'm sorry Phil, but I don't recommend you to use the lesson's backings for a REC take. I have no idea where those students got the correct backing. I'll ask Kris about it.

Thanks Gab,
I'll have to check whenI get chance, I can't remember if I record the first take at full speed. By default Reaper is set to keep pitch when altering BPM, I wonder if there has been a glitch and if I recorded it at a slower speed, maybe the pitch was altered? I'm not home now and my wife's father has been rushed into hospital again so I dno't know when I'll get chance. Maybe this evening.

No mate, this is not a problem related to your recording, the issue is that the lesson has the wrong backing tracks. Does it make sense?

It does make sense Gab, I just started to doubt myself when I was thinking that it hadn't been noticed before when in particular you and Darius have incredible ears. That's when I started thinking I had altered the pitch by letting the bpm which is possible in Reaper.
I'm a bit disappointed I can't go into REC with it, I've worked hard on it, I know there's room for improvement but I was looking forward to the feedback. Oh well c'est la vie.

Hi Phil! I'm so sorry about it. I've talked with Kris and he said that this lesson is such mistery. There are not extra backings asociated now, so it's totally weird to find the right backing at in those REC takes.
Don't feel dissapointed mate. The most important thing is the work that you put on it, and the impact that the lesson had in your playing. There are any similar lessons published_ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Kenny-...pherd-Phrasing/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Stevie...pired_Phrasing/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...vaughan-lesson/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/SRV-Tips-And-Tricks-2/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/SRV-Tips-and-Tricks/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Three-...Solo-SRV-Style/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Intermediate-SRV-Blues/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Texas_...s_Rock_Shuffle/ among many others! -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Gab,
I'm still going to polish the other Denes one, it will be ok to keep for guitar shops and friends  I've decided to go for THIS on because I've tried to do this many many times over the years and found it extremely difficult to mute the strings and make one string sing so it is way out of my comfort zone even though it's only a level 3. I'd also like to work on THIS one as it's more of a solo thing but has something else I struggle with, not only bends but bends with vibrato (even though they aren't in the TAB) so again it's out of my comfort zone. Do you think this will be ok ? Thanks Gab

Hello Gab,
Further to my post above, I decided to put this up just to have a record of how terrible I am at the Texas Shuffle. I am hoping one day I'll look back at this as say, "I can't believe I couldn't do it!". When you watch Stevie do this it looks so simple, I guess that's many thousands of hours under his belt. Obviously any advice at this early stage is greatly appreciated. Cheers https://youtu.be/fQuXO2qjVnE And a little improv in Em from the end of my practise. Many mistakes but without mistake there is no improvement https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/em-blues-take-1 This post has been edited by Phil66: Aug 23 2018, 09:01 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
