Apprentice Bushido Task 39 Options

[Ben Higgins]

Task 39: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Improv...h_Low_Contrast/

Greetings, disciples ! A day later than planned but here it is !

This lesson gives you some tasty licks and gets you playing them an octave higher and sometimes varying them to add interest and variety to your solos. There's a great opportunity to practise your vibrato and bending. In fact, the licks themselves are quite simple but Ivan's vibrato and bending is very accomplished which is probably why it's labelled as a level 4 but I think it's definitely manageable for you

Notice how he really digs his pick into the strings for those bends.. so after you've memorised the piece and are comfortable with it, see if you can work at injecting as much attitude as you can into the piece. 'Emotional content' as Bruce Lee would say

Enjoy, my friends !

Deadline is next Friday 2nd November or I bring the threat of a Bieber paint job back...

didn't really finish working on those bended vibratos, so I just left them out. Turned out to be harder than I thought to do some constant movement while adding not the same force to the vibrato movement in with and against the bend (does that sentence make sense? )

Also really started to suck on the recording thing, so whenever I got through the harder parts quite well I would usually mess up the easier ones <.<.
didn't have time to try further so here is one of my better takes (maybe don't mind the stuff that happened in the ending on those pull off lick thing, already did it better but it wouldn't fit into one take )



still was really fun learning this one

and awesome job @ zoom and greg.

Nice work man.. not bad at all ! I would say the same thing to you about vibrato as I did to Zoom, to use the rotation of your wrist a bit more so that it gives you a more even vibrato sound. At the moment, you're relying on pulling the string straight down with your finger which is ok but it means that the string often stays 'bent' and sounds sharp. Your hand position itself is great, you don't have to change that at all, just learn to go between the classical hand position and being able to angle your wrist in certain places when you need to bend a string or do vibrato
