Marco, your chops get better and better each day biggrin.gif

I think that you should just focus more on playing with better articulation (bending and vibrato) from 0:32 onward, as the ideas are good. They just need more interpretation - feeling as they say biggrin.gif Keep rocking, my friend!

Hi mate, I really like the direction of this tune. I think that you have a good balance between fast licks and more melodic phrases. There are some parts that need more practice but nothing too serious. Also try to put your guitar louder in the mix.

I don't know how this track will evolve but my suggestion is to create something that could work as a chorus... something epic, very melodic that makes everybody remember your song.

Keep on the good job!

Gabe is right, you should also think about building up a tune out of this one - so, as last time, a structure could be a good starting point smile.gif

I think this piece has got potential. As Cosmin says, your chops are evolving every time we see you !

I don't particular like the sound of the tapping.. that definitely shouts out 'technical exercise' !

To form better melodies look at the chords you're using to form the backing track. What are they ? Instead of just thinking in one scale (which I used to be guilty of too) think about using the chord tones of each new chord it moves to. If it starts on Dm for example.. then pick the chord tones and arpeggios around Dm, if the next chord is F, then look at the shapes around that - you'll be getting F Major shapes then. Altho you could technically stay in the Dm scale throughout, it's not as rewarding as 'changing' with the chords.

Well, if you wanna focus on building up your bending and articulation technique in general - I would definitely recommend you to tackle these two lessons:
