Rules

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.

You manage to keep up with the timing generally so that aspect of your playing is improving. The guitar was quite badly out of tune so those nice chords at 0:22 didn't come across too well. When you play those descending triads at 0:23, try to keep your fingers fretting the chords because the notes are supposed to ring together, not be fretted separately.

You are a banner holder (that dude in the medieval armies who had to stay alive regardless of what happened and hold the banner up to cheer the soldiers) I agree with everything that Ben said, timing is good, but you are not yet confident with the piece - you should practice it some more, until you acquire more tightness - you don't make me feel like you mean what you are playing YET!

A few things: -Your guitar was out of tune it can happen because of the intonation is not set up properly, you have new string or it's just out of tune:) -Timing was good in the most parts but still need some work! You are almost there and just need a little more time to get this lesson to sound perfect! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
