Hi Gabri,
tried to record one at full speed today, see below. I few mistakes here too, but I think might give you a different point of view vs previous one at 90%. thanks |

Hi Claudio! How are you?
Nice to see you working hard! I think that getting into the Lead Basics lesson is a good idea. Please get into it and tell me the things that you find interesting, and if you need any help with it. The second level is already published too. I've checked both Gales takes and I can say that you need to focus on 90% or maybe 80%, and work on smaller sections. The main issues are timing and bending pitches. The second take makes these problem even more notorious, so I consider that the best is to slow down so you can play things tight and focus on details. The lesson is full of details regarding bending, vibrato, and other expressive elements. If you don't work on them slowly, you'll never get these details. So my suggestion is that you organize your practice like this: - Play the whole thing at 80% (or 90% if you can) trying to play it tight with the backing. - Work on smaller parts using a metronome or over the backing track. Slow down tempo a bit more if it's necessary, and increase it gradually as you start to feel more comfortable. - Connect the small parts in longer sections. - Play the whole thing again. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (ClaudioStrat @ Aug 16 2021, 07:15 PM) On the Lead Guitar I did the first "season" already, I kind of knew most of the concept/licks but was still very good to revisit some of them. In general I think is good to have this short concept, because sometime digesting a full lesson can take a a long time and these short lessons that build on each other are a also another good way to practice , learn new things or very often consolidate concept learned but maybe forgotten. I was thinking to consolidate it a bit better to write a little blues easy solo practice using all or most of the licks in the first "season", what do you think? Cool! Thanks for your feedback mate! I think that it's a good idea to consolidate the concepts before getting into the part 2. Please go for it! QUOTE (ClaudioStrat @ Aug 16 2021, 07:15 PM) On the Eric Gales, thanks. I knew it was still rough, but wanted to push myself to play all-together. I'll slow it down a bit and focus a bit more on the the details, I have already started to be honest. So bear with me and hopefully can show some progress soon. Ok! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Claudio!! Well done!
This is the best way to get the most from the Lead Basics course. It's great to see you playing all these licks. You need to continue practicing like this everyday, and focus on two elements: - Polish the rhythm/timing of those licks. You tend to play them a bit after the beat. - Work on the connection between licks to make the whole thing more like a solo, and add your own phrases and variations. Keep up the good work! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Claudio, how are you?
Nice to see you working on this one. I can notice important improvements. At first, I like this new tone, it really fits with the backing track and feel more balanced than the one used in the previous take. Besides that, your playing is also getting better. The bends are still the main thing to improve, but now more bends are reaching the right pitch, and the overall timing feels better. You need to continue working on your bending pitch. Pay attention to the half bends which are the ones that are giving more trouble. As I usually say, remember to do the bending exercise every day. That's the best thing you can do to calibrate your bending. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Claudio, here I'm marking the bends that are not reaching the pitch correctly. Based on the new video:
00:09 00:14 00:18 00:28 00:43 00:46 01:05 -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (ClaudioStrat @ Sep 2 2021, 01:17 PM) thanks Gabri, i keep working on this I should have improved a few of those bends and other little things when I have a little time will try to record. On a couple of those I was not focusing on like 09 , 18 and 1:05, so that's good actually (i think i consistently get those wrong..) this is a pretty good lesson to work on bends lol!! Yes! It's like a bending masterclass.

Hi Claudio,
Yes, this is getting better. I notice that there are some bends that are not fixed. There is still work to do regarding the elements that I've marked before but you are on the right track. Please keep the current tempo and focus on: - Bending pitches - Timing - Tone (not your amp settings, listen to what you are playing and see how the way you pick, and dynamics affect the sound) -------------------- My lessons
