Task 22 : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Winter-Ballad/
Record and upload a version of this lesson !! We are changing gears to a slower pace now.. time to get all emotional and ballad-y There's some sophisticated phrases in this lesson from The Godfather, Sinisa (he's an old romantic, really...) and they should ask quite a lot of your bending and phrasing ability. But.. and this is a big, fat American sized Butt... I think you guys can do it ! No, scrap that.. I know you guys can do it ! You have until next Friday 29th June before I start pulling fingernails... |

Wow Grind great take! Your timings great nice tone also.
Hi Mr Ben - I've worked a bit on this as I knew it was pretty challenging to nail. Timing is a big issue for me I noted it from last weeks task and this week. I found it really hard to nail the run up the top E string to the bend just hearing where to come in and even playing. Bends are still not 100% but my fingers are so sore. My musicman has 9's on them but I broke my top E string so I'm playing on my strat with 10's . Ok enough said Loved playing this piece also. Just one question also with my timing I'm thinking I get ahead of the beat which I've heard is harder to fix than lagging any thoughts? http://soundcloud.com/zoomify/winter-ballad-lesson-1 |

I didn't think it was in front of the beat too much.. maybe only a tiny couple of places but overall you were quite solid with the timing. I always say that to combat the rushing, first deliberately play behind the beat. Get to know how that feels. From there, just keep pushing slightly forward until you're right on the beat. I think it's easier to correct when you're lagging because you can hear where you should be and you can catch up. But when you're too far in front you can't go backwards so it's hard to correct because you've gone over. It's quite hard to describe, not sure if I've done a good job or not but hopefully you get what I mean. If you get to know the two extremes of behind or in front, then you're in a better position to find the middle ground |

Ah yes, I see now. Mucho Thanks!
Yeah, I was confused on how Sinisa was doing it. I was pulling off that first note really quick. Now it sounds much smoother. |
