You didn't change sound in the second part, it was a bit strange for me, but not bad! However I guess you need to pay more attention to the tempo. It wasn't quite accurate during the song. And maybe at the bridge part there was some inaccuracy at the bendings as well. Overall it was nice work. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Also, try to make certain notes sound 'staccato' like Laszlo does in the song, by cutting off the notes with your picking hand and slightly taking your fingers off the fretboard. This will help you achieve that sound. I would work on your vibrato and string bending to make them stronger because this song demands good control of both.. with a little bit of work on those things and working on the timing and 'staccato' notes, you'll be able to really give the song more 'juice'.

You however, as said above, need to focus more on timing and bending. Cheers bro! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
