Task 6 : http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-guitar/rock-rhythm-with-triads/
Greetings warriors ! You've been impressing me lately with your consistent brilliance and I'm looking forward to more of that with this Task. We're continuing the theme of rhythm with a more hard rock, Led Zeppelin type feel which will be good for you to work your chord shifting and timing again.
Don't worry about playing the solo at 0:36 unless you really want to. I'll be happy with just the rhythm parts ok ?
Make sure you warm up those hands before practising... the icy winds around here really do take an effect !
If I master this lesson sensei.. man, that would be somewhat cool!
Back to practice.. before the icy winds catch me...
Wow. This one is really cool too. I might try and double it up this week and do a little crossover training.
Cool Ben. Palm muting here I come. I really want to work on my rhythm playing big time.
Awesome.. nice one, guys.. glad you're up to the challenge ! We're gonna show those Intermediate and Advanced groups how it's done, right ??
Here is my cool but modest take on this one
Timing is not perfect, as for muting and vibrato but I must say I worked hard to achieve this in just a week !
Hey Ben and fellow Bushido apprentices
I really dig Joes playing and have really enjoyed this challenge. So I felt I had to work pretty hard on this just to play it. Recording this and
listening back I soon realized it was harder again to pull off. Timing has to be spot on and I think I struggled rushing ahead in a few places also the vibrato is crucial also. Mine needs work.
So what I trying to say sensei Ben is I need my fingers and toes to stay in the game so I hope this is good enough.
Your humble apprentice zoom.

Master, I'm too late for this - I know. Please accept my apologies, this lesson got me hours and more hours of practicing the correct muting between the chord-shapes - and still it isn't perfect. I'm working on the solo, too. Here's my take:
I'm trying to upload my take for Task7 asap!
Hello Sensei, mid-week report here. (And a late introduction)
Well when I first tried this task, the timing took me a little while to grasp. I had to spend quite a bit of time at 50 bpm to get a feel for it.
I didn't think I was going to be able to speed it up much, but after a couple days it started to fall into place and now I can play it at the
original bpm (although not very tight). It's a good feeling.
In the beginning part, when going from the F-triad 10th fret to the F-triad 5th fret, I noticed I wanted to bar that index finger again
(as you had commented on in task 5). So I isolated that chord change until I got more comfortable with just using my finger tips.
Also during the faster part with the F-triad on the 1st fret, I was keeping my fingers down and trying to mute everything with my
right palm. Raising those left fingers (as you had also commented on in task 5), really helped in cleaning up that part. Even though
it still needs practice.
Since I'm in the 40's club, I guess I'm old school rock. My favorite band growing up was Deep Purple. And I liked
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, etc...
And being raised mostly in Mississippi, I also enjoyed Southern Rock and of course The Blues.
I did live in Spain during the mid 80's for a while, and had some good friends in Punk bands. From them I learned to appreciate
and enjoy the Dead Kennedys, Ramones, etc... Nowadays I like a diverse range of music from Opeth to Them Crooked Vultures to
some of the old geezers new stuff like the latest from Robin trower.
Since I was young, I always wanted to play guitar. I pretty much always had a guitar around, but never could devote much time to it.
About 13 years ago, I started taking lessons for 6 months and then lost my job and had to quite because of the lack of funds.
So here I am now ready to finally pursue this life-long dream of mine. It's a life-style change and I'm going for it.
Also would like to say this site has really impressed me with the positive, friendly, and inspirational vibe that it has.
And thanks, Sensei Ben, for the mentoring that you have thus far given me.
I found interesting your Martial Arts angle. Looking back, the two life-styles I would have liked to have been enveloped in from a
young age would of been music and martial arts. I did take some Karate as an early teen and some Kung Fu about 14 years ago...
Anyways, enough jabbering , back to my icy corner to practice.
Ok, here's my attempt at task 6.
I'm experimenting with some of those Tortex Pitch Black 1.14mm picks.
So far, i'm really liking the pointy tip, but I was little surprised by how small they are.
I think I can get used to it though. It seems it's the bigger picks that I usually have
trouble getting comfortable with. (like the regular Tortex)
Hi ben!
I have tried to record the solo but i have to say that is very difficult!! I can't move my fingers so quickly!!
Grretings!!
Hi Ben!
As i haven't passed the last take, i have record another video trying to do it better.
