Task 6 : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/shuffle_rhythm_guitar/
Warriors.. I bring you a new challenge ! It's quite bizarre shuffle piece and I'm using it for you to do more work on your rhythm playing. Riffing is the focus so I don't expect you to do the tapping part near the end unless you want to ! I'm expecting great things from you lot this week. You're the largest group so don't let the Sensei down or I'll have to have a little 'talk'with you.

Here is a first take, at 180 bpm. I wish I could have some feedbacks on it.
180 bpm is the slower backing track for this lesson, and I know I should try to master it before going any further. I'm still not mastering it, of course. But I've worked a lot on it, especially on the taping part, as I've never really worked tapping. I think it's quite a good start though. Could you tell me what I need to focus on right now, please ? That lesson is really great, and I love my journey in the ninja land !

I enjoyed listening to this and I like your tone I guess the only thing that needs work is just tightening things up overall, mainly the fast licks (like the one 0:10 in the main lesson for example.) The tapping was also really good. You've manged to capture the shuffle swing sound, which is important. There's nothing else that leapt out as needing correction so you're on the right path ! |

QUOTE (gregc1 @ Mar 6 2012, 05:12 AM) I finally kicked open the legato door. That's so right ! Exactly what I feel about legato and tapping techniques. I'm still working on it. To avoid the problem I had on task 4, I record myself everyday. I spend some time listening to each take, sometimes entirely, sometimes just part of it. So here is the result of my two practice sessions. I've essentially worked on the legato part, as Ben kindly pointed it out on a previous post. I think I'm on the right way, but my legato notes sounds less than the stroked ones, and I can't figure out how to even this (not sure my English serves me well here  ).Here it is. If you have some time to listen to it and give me some feedbacks, I thank you for it.

Bonsoir tout le monde,
I won't do any better tonight... I'm a bit rushing things here, but 240 bpm is really fast for me ! Anyway, I'm quite happy of this week work. I'll have to continue playing this, that's so fun. Good night.

Number of downloads: 99Hey that's still quite a good result ! It's really intense with that drum beat when you crank it up isn't it ? QUOTE (gregc1 @ Mar 8 2012, 12:40 AM) Hey Ben! Here's my take. I didn't get the tapping part done mainly because I spent most of my time trying to get the legato section down, and also I'm terrible at tapping (and legato). This one could use some more work but I got the hang of the structure of it. It's still a bit frantic when I play it so I haven't found that zone yet but I'm pretty close. Have a good one! Man that was cool ! Yes, the legato bit could still do with improving but we knew that so overall I'm impressed. Your rendition has a Van Halen quality as opposed to that jazzy, woody tone. I really like the contrast Also, that's some really hot phrasing at the end !
