Watch out for the 'chicken pickin' at the beginning. I just used my middle finger for upstrokes basically. Try to get a real snap to those phrases (without breaking your strings of course !) There's not a lot else to say that you guys can't figure out or handle yourselves so I turn it over to you in good faith ! Nail it guys, nail it to the wall !! Deadline is next Friday 24th August or I break hand ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I know it's not really your thing but you should do some type of blues alter-ego or something going forward. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I could play the first part much cleaner with the pick but went with the chicken picken. I have definitely enjoyed the blues phase of the Temple. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store next. By the way, WOW! 30 weeks. Time flies when you're having fun. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yeah that part at 00:17 was by far the trickiest part for me along with a couple timing things (REC comments). I'll take that Pink Floyd reference too. A classic song from one of my most favorite bands. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Man I just got lucky this week with this task. I was literally going to record a REC take for this yesterday when I saw Ben posted it for this week's task. Right-place right-time sort of thing.

You know Isaac Newton, back in the day when he was establishing the foundations of classical physics, apparently sometimes got so involved into solving something that he didn't remember to eat any dinner at all for several days.

But first, I'll post my slightly embarrassing take. Me playing blues.. with a wooden pick. I noticed some of my bends were off, too, but I can't record anymore now. I need another camera. And a new computer. And new fingers. Enjoy! Also, I recorded the audio to one track, so I can't adjust the levels. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Ok, some of the bends are interestingly different but we can just call it a 'different interpretation' You got that staccato snap really nicely at the beginning and during those double stop bends. I really like how you guys still sound like yourselves with your own unique way of phrasing, even though you're playing my lines You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
