Lenni - Muted Strings Rhythm Guitar |
|
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.

Hi guys,
I'm new to GMC and this is my first try on the rec-board! Muted Strings Rhythm Guitar Gear: Fender USA Strat Marshall JCM 2000 - DSL 401 Since my beautiful mbox recently broke I had to record straight to the mic of my macbook. the result is of course not overwhelming - but at least it suits my playing abilities This post has been edited by skennington: Aug 24 2011, 03:35 PM |

Hey lenni, that's a pretty cool take man, i see you wanna improve your rhythm chops and that's great and very important, i also love how a strat looks on a left handed person or is it some kind of mirror on your macbook ?
I like your chops man, i think you are almost there, but i feel that you need a bit more time practicing it, i think is a great choice posting this on the REC forum, you need a bit of advices im sure, and will keep you motivated, posting something new is always exciting! With that said, you need to work on, first tune perfectly your guitar, on the open chords you can hear some notes out of tune, and on the single notes pentatonic riffs you gotta hit the strings harder to compensate the overall volume/output/gain. Keep rocking dude, and if you are into rhythm now check out my other lessons! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

This sounds and looks very good, I like your attitude. The tone could be improved, it's not very defined. Timing is good, but towards the end it becomes more loose, so watch for that. Try to relax your picking hand a bit, and it will be cool.

hey! It's great that you decided to post your first REC take here! Congrats man! It's a very good one. I agree with the things that Adrian and Ivan said regarding strength and timing, and I also agree that with some more practice you'll get a perfect take. Keep on rocking!

Hey mate! Congratz on your first take! Good effort! Improve your timing and tightness by practicing this lesson slower and getting it sound more defined in this way!

Attitude! timing! great!
I would only improve the tone a bit. Alittle more gain, and maybe just overall volume in the mix, and a bit stronger picking! -------------------- Visit my:
