Try to vary your vibrato with the tempo of the song... Sometimes fast vibrato give a real crazy manic kind of feel. Slower vibrato gives a soothing feel. When you're adding vibrato on a bent note make sure you're not shaking the note too far out of pitch...Bending really takes an ear and time to develop. Over all I say you have a good handle on it and over time it will just get better and better. I like when the lesson has that harmonic minor part; you tapped it instead of picked it. It shows you have confidence in your playing and you're not afraid to experiment. That's definitely a good thing. Around the 40 second mark your playing could be a little cleaner..sounds like a few fumbled notes here and there. Over all, great job. Sometimes when I'm playing along I'll tap my foot and it gets me into the groove a bit more, give that a shot... Muris's Phrygian lesson: I like your vibrato, it's slow and controlled - sounds good. Around the 10 second mark there should be more of a controlled bend. Muris does a slow bend and a nice bend release, he really puts emphasis into it. Same goes for around the 24 second mark. Now this sounds kinda trivial but when you do that, it shows an over all confidence and professionalism in your playing. I think you did a great job with the arpeggios around the 30 second mark. It seems like over all you could 'slow down' a bit more and put really feeling into every note. Vibrato is the key really, knowing how much and when to use it is the trick to sound really convincing. In reality though that is beyond the scope of the 'beginner' mentored training program. I really feel that you're progressing towards intermediate level very fast. I would like to get that song together so I can really gauge where you are as far as composition and creating improvisations. Great job George you always impress me with your uploads. How is your rhythm work going? I hope it hasn't fallen to the wayside, remember guitar is a balancing act. To be a complete guitarist you need to be equally adept at rhythm and solo guitar. No one should over take the other... Though I personally believe soloing takes more practice. I will draw up your next assignments soon...

My vibrato is kind of shaky! How could I have not noticed that About the song. I think I'm gonna go for something different! Check this out (Gotta record it first though... one minute).

Jan 27 2009, 06:55 PM	GMC:er Posts: 1.202 Joined: 25-November 07	Ok, I like both riffs a lot. I think we should start with the riff in video 379 then do some easy chorus then go into the riffs in video 378 then back to video 379 and end it. I think there is a lot of potential in those two riffs, we'll make a cool mini song! I don't have my guitar on me so I can't figure out the key from here... Is it D Major?

In 379 I play this (chords are bold): A5 B C B E5 E F E F5 C B G G5 G C G 378 is basically A5 and A#5 with some dead notes... I don't know if that's D major man haha.

Jan 27 2009, 07:19 PM	GMC:er Posts: 1.202 Joined: 25-November 07	Ok, I know what key it is. It's definitely not D Major hahah... Anyways - I showed you how to figure out what key it's in remember? Break down all the chords to their single notes, take all the notes and see what scale it fits in. Use this as a tool: http://www.blackbeltguitar.com/ChordScaleGenerator.php It doesn't need to be 'perfect'...every single note matches up...but should be pretty close.

EDIT: Hmm I don't think that's D major :\ No idea what it could be. Ok so we got A5 = A, E we got F5 = F, C we got G 5 = G D You also said you use the notes B C So we have something that looks like: A B C D E F G This is a particularly easy key to see because there is no sharps or not flats. The only scale that has no sharps or no flats is it the C Major scale! But in reality you'd use it's sixth mode, the Aeolian mode. The minor pentatonic would work beautifully over this riff too. If you take those notes, you see you can start with A on that blackbeltguitar website... The scroll through the different scales till you see notes that match up well... That's how I figure out what scales work best when I'm in a pinch. That second riff uses a A#, so A Phrygian would work too... Aeolian would be fine though.

Jan 27 2009, 08:01 PM	GMC:er Posts: 551 Joined: 30-May 08 From: Netherlands	Cool! I was thinking of a breakbeat kind of drum for 379 and a Guns n Roses style drum for 378. Maybe we can add a verse where there's a bassline that plays 378 (but just the root notes). 379 - 378 (guitar) - chorus - 378 (bass) - chorus - solo (over a to be determined backing... maybe we can do a transition there?) - 378 (and end it metal... like A5-A5-A5-A5-------) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
