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.

Very nice!

To me there are no major issues here, you groove along nicely and you have got the musical parts down.

* There are several audible hand sync issues when you start playing the melody - which result in notes not ringing out. This does not seem to be the result any serious technique issue - as your hands and posture looks good. Rather you need to give it a bit more time practicing at a slow tempo.

* I could go on describing micro timing improvements you could try to do to make it sound more pro, but there is a much easier way to go about it: tap your foot. This will force your whole body to get grooving which is exactly what this kind of track calls for.

Since this a level 2 lesson - it's an easy pass for you. You get an 8 from me - keep up the great work!

Well done!! I can see a LOT of improvement in your playing. Keep doing whatever you are doing in terms of your practice sessions because it's clearly working. As was mentioned there are a few issues with synch drifting a bit here and there, but it's nothing that would keep you from passing this rec. Super congrats on learning this entire piece and playing it with confidence. Your mute here is much improved from what I remember from just a few months ago. Keep this up!!


Solid 7!

Todd

Hey there!

It starts really promissing. You right hand looks slightly shy though. The beginning has a good flow and nice tone match. It lack just a little more accenting that Gab does in his original lesson video.

In the solo part you overbend the g note. It should be a famous blues-relate quarter tone ornament. In your performance it goes too sharp, giving almost clear, major feel.

There are soem minor timing issues

You have a most common, beginner issue visible. Don't worry - it's normal but it has to be fixed. When you fret more than one note on the same string, you should keep previous fingers on it. For example when you play a to b notes (G3 string), you should keep pressing with your index finger, while you fret with your ring finger. It's called fingers support. It makes string tension split for more finger and makes it easier to press not mentioning bending and vibrato. It's also quite logical if we think of how most of guitar lick are constructed. If you need to play index again, it's already on it's place.

It's harder to explain than it actualyl is to play but you need to trust me - you'll see in the future smile.gif
