Hello folks,
I'm working on part of THIS lesson and I'm struggling to get the rakes to sound right. I know the concept of how to do them but mine sound like a mistake rather than a nice percussive sound. Any tips? Cheers folks. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

I'm sure both Todd and Gabriel will ask this too:
Do you have a video so we can see your technique?

Thanks Ben,
Yeah I'll record one tonight, I was finishing off my session last night when I decided to ask.

Ben had a good example in one of his vids a while back -

Thanks Scott,
I'll have a look later. Mine sounds more like when you try to play your first ever chord. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Ello folks,
I'm not going to have time to do a video this evening, got in late from work so got to get my practise in. I am using my picking hand to mute the strings but must not have the right angle or something. I can do them ok if I use my left hand BUT, this piece has bends immediately after the rake so I need my fingers on the strings ready to bend. Also it looks a better way to do it using the picking hand. I'll try soon, I have to record a video for Gab on Wednesday so I'll link it here. Gotta bolt, only going to manage one hour tonight

Video is necessary, otherwise we have no idea what could have gone wrong in your rakign execution
Just a phone video would be enough but try to capture both hands

Thanks Darius,
I've moved onto another lesson but I will try to find time to shoot a video of me trying. It's just as easy for me to use a video camera than a phone and the quality is better, my current phone doesn't have good video, I shattered the screen on my best phone and have had to go back to my older one. Cheers dude
