Rules
Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.
The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Original lesson: Alternate Picking 2 by Darius Wave
Hello GMC, After 11 months working my way trough this lesson, starting from 80bpm till 160bpm, I have reached the summit with a beautiful view ;) It has been a long and hard journey because It's is a hard lesson to learn but the satisfaction is big when you finish lessons like this. Again many thanks to Monica who has been my mentor and provided me with very necessary guidance because I think it's impossible to make this journey alone. I proudly present my REC take... Hope you enjoy it! Gert |

Wow this is quite an achievement Gert! 🤩 If anybody missed it, Gert and Monica has been working on hard on alternate picking in this thread.
And as you will be able to tell as well, progress has been spectacular! Under Monica's guidance Gert has been practicing within his comfort speed from scratch: ..and we can now see the result. Gert, the technique you display here is precise, reliable and efficient. It will serve you well regardless of where your musical adventure leads you. Congratulations! I agree that vibrato could be a little more consistent - but you are still very close to the type of vibrato Darius uses in the lesson. I can also see that during transition to the more complex licks or the sustained notes, your picking technique gets less precise. That's natural since your picking is not yet completely engraved into muscle memory - so your perfomance will be negatively affected by 'multi-tasking'. Keep up the amazing work - it's a 9 from me! |
