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.

I think the off-beats are a bit rushed at times. Or maybe I've listened to it too often to be able to tell anymore :) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Ok, as you said, you are rushing a little bit in some places but not all. If you listen to the 2 and 3rd repetition that's probably where you rush the most. But it's good that you are able to identify it yourself, which is a very important skill Try to get the A5, A#5, D5, E5 chord progression sounding a bit smoother as well, if you can. At the moment it sounds very separated, particularly the D5-E5 movement.They should sound more smoother and more even in tone and velocity ok? Good work!

There is not much to complain aside the timing. Take is being played quite clean. There is something to be tweaked though. It's the tone and I mean both - gear and hands. I believe your strumming is a little too soft. That causes overall sound to be a little muddy and having lack of tightness on the powerchords. Try to play harder by making wider movements and adjusting pick angle (maybe a little more straight). Also make sure to have all your knobs on guitar at max and a bridge pickup selected for this particular kind of playing. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
