May 28 2021, 04:45 PM	Learning Roadie Posts: 238 Joined: 1-October 20 From: uk	thanks, good suggestion to isolate the changes that way, i'll work on that. side questions was looking at you last lick of the "Mellow ballad" lesson (which is really nice bytheway) that Pentatonic run in the end, what technique are you using there? You pick the string only once and do a hammer on? or alternate picking? looking at the video seems a legato/hammer on, but not sure. I was thinking of practicing that for speed as an exercise. cheers, You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Jun 1 2021, 01:15 PM	Learning Roadie Posts: 238 Joined: 1-October 20 From: uk	thanks Gabri quick follow up question, is it important to use downstrokes in the fast lick or is it pretty much the same if you use upstrokes (followed by hammer on, off course)? Also had a go at the pop solo again yesterday try to get those bends right! What do you think? cheers, You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jun 3 2021, 06:24 PM	Learning Roadie Posts: 238 Joined: 1-October 20 From: uk	thanks Gabri, definitively that particular bend is a challenge (especially with the Strat !), will get there! Also thanks a few more comments re length of the notes. i had a go at your new lick (with downstrokes actually in the end, :Plol ) So you have 3 versions the 1st is at 60% of your tempo (using guitar pro file of your lesson), the 2nd and 3rd are both at 70%. I think to get 100% speed will take a WHILE , but it is a nice lick. would you mind having a look to see if you can spot any issues?

Jun 3 2021, 07:06 PM	Instructor Posts: 36.043 Joined: 3-March 07 From: Argentina	Hi Claudio, I think that you should try this one slower to you polish timing. You tend to rush the hammer on while playing at these tempos. What about playing along with the guitar pro file? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I was away last week, so could not really record but managed to practice a few things (took one guitar one me!) I did a new attempt on the popsolo with the Ibby this time The is a little string noise in this take unfort, but was curious to think what you think of that? Especially on the bending and the last lick? thanks, You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I had a go with it but was not quite getting there maybe I need to isolate that and force to play the bend that way. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Also continue to practice the legato (making the changes smoother) and the Play licks Between chords, all is improving and will try to show you some video over the next few days. Was thinking of learning new lesson and came across the https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Eric-Gales-Blues-Licks/ i quite like it and it is quite a nice collections of licks/techniques to learn (+ full of bends which I need to practice) what do you think? thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
