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 Claudio! Nice to find this one here!
Blues licks are great to train our phrasing. One of the most difficult parts of playing blues is rhythm. The problem is that blues licks usually combine different rhythm patterns like 4th notes, 8th notes, triplets, silence and tied notes. These combinations make it tricky to master. You have a good technique base here, but there are two elements that need work: 1) TIMING 2) BENDING Regarding timing, this starts happening with the first lick which is not tight at all. Then, there are some sections that are tighter but this is a problem that appears on most of the parts. At first, it's important to know if you can hear it so please compare your take on first lick with the original and try to identify the timing issues. Once you can hear it, these are some ideas to improve your timing: - Play along with the original lesson focusing on playing the licks tight. Once you can play them with the same rhythm, focus on other details like notes duration, and vibrato. - Polish 1 lick at a time. Listen to the original first lick, and then play it. Use the backing track and practice the same lick over and over, as a loop. Record yourself and compare again this recording with the original. - If you are not familiar with music notation, (check THIS) and then dedicate some time to understand the rhythm based on the guitar pro file. Pay attention to silence, 4ths, 8ths, and triplets. Now talking about bending, I notice that some of those bends are not reaching the correct pitch, for example the ones at 00:18. There is a great exercise that I usually recommend in THIS VIDEO by Joe Satriani. I also recommend you this workout: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ending-Workout/ If you need any help, please let me know. We can work on these elements at my mentoring program. Keep on the hard work! Cheers! -------------------- My lessons
