Hi Gabri,
i'm due an update! sorry was a bit busy so didn't post much but still managed to find some time to practice. the Eric Gales bend masterclass continues to keep me busy but I think I'm finally starting to get the bends, I think my ears needed more training... Anyways some bends are not perfect but I think bend wise should much better then my last one. Rhythm-wise still a few imperfections but I was really focusing one bends here. What do you think? 
EG_03_Nov.mp3 ( 2.77MB )
Number of downloads: 76also making progress on a couple more lessons , so will share first takes for feedback soon (Metallica one) the "left hand focus I" and "Right hand II" are really good set of exercises, currently practicing both need a bit more time Best, Claudio This post has been edited by ClaudioStrat: Nov 4 2021, 12:45 AM |

Hi Claudio! Great to hear from you!
I have to say that this new take shows many improvements in rhythm and bending. There is still work to do, and now I think that your ear is much more trained to recognize the bends that are missing or not reaching the right pitch. But the good news is that this new take shows very remarkable progress. Looking forward to your new takes. Congrats! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Claudio, great to see you playing this one!
There are basically 2 things that I can add to the 2 that you noted: 1. The first one is timing. This problem is more important in the first section. The first riff is not tight yet and so you need to focus on that. This happens when the drums cuts, but also while the drums play the groove. You move from going after to before the beat, whereas this style requires to playing strictly "on the beat". 2. The second one is the sound of the second part where you have to combine palm muting with power chords. I notice that many power chords are not sounding clear there and that this part is not sounding consistent. You need to polish it and the best way to do is to slow down and practice at a comfortable tempo. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gabri,
I worked a bit on the Metallica lesson lately. Still work to do to make clean but I think the timing is getting better. I'm at 120bpm vs 140 original here for now. What do you think?

Number of downloads: 74Continue to practice the EG licks as well which is really helping my bending, will hopefully shave a video at some point. Best, Claudio This post has been edited by ClaudioStrat: Nov 23 2021, 12:59 AM |

Hi Claudio!
Yes! This is getting better! Your overall timing is good here. I think that the part that needs more attention is the one that starts at 00:52. Please isolate that section and work on it for a few days before increasing tempo. The lead section sounds good, but you still need to improve the trills (legato) parts. Create small blocks to work on this parts as exercises (and make variations). -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gabri,
happy new year. I hope all is good. back here, was away for Xmas and didn't get to record a lot but have been practicing some of the lessons I was working on before and some new ones. Working on a few lessons of the new technique series, which i think is really good for me. So will be posting here a few things I have been working on over the next few days to have some feedback from you. Let's start with https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Right-Hand-II/ at 95bpm, I know I still need to work on it, but would like to get your feedback on this one as I try to add speed, keep it at tempo. thanks, Clauido |

Hi Claudio!
Great to hear from you. I with you a happy new year.  Cool. This course is a very good choice for you. The first thing that I recommend you doing is to work at a slower tempo and focus on keeping your left hand fingers closer to the fretboard, and be sure that your hands are going synchronized. These should be the first two goals. Once you can do it, you can increase tempo gradually until you reach the current one. What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (ClaudioStrat @ Jan 23 2022, 12:44 PM) Thanks Gabri, Will try to fix my technique, hand/pinky position at slower tempo. I’m working also so the string crossing exercises, so will try to do that one as lower as well to make sure I build the right Techniques (and share a video with you). I’m starting to realise the limitations of my current technique , so keen to try to fix it. Claudio Excellent Claudio! We can use this course to review your techniques, adjust movements, posture and once you are comfortable, focus on gaining speed and accuracy. Most of the parts and lessons includes recommended lessons that you can use as complementary material. As always, let's use this thread so I can monitor your progress.

Hi Claudio, how are you?
You're right, your hand posture has improved in these new videos. There is some more room to keep your fingers closer to the fretboard as you said, but you are definitely on the right track. The key is to continue polishing the posture and movements and once you are comfortable with the new mechanics, you can focus on playing faster. Please continue practicing and share a new video! -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (ClaudioStrat @ Feb 2 2022, 03:09 PM) thanks, a few things to digest as you say. I understand the dynamics, in the 4 notes pattern ok. the 1st of 4 to accentuate. But in the triplets the I find it harder has one time the accent is one time on a down-stroke the other time is on a up-stroke. But will work on that and should manage, i was not paying attention to that, so now i will. Yes, that's the tricky part of triplets. You can dedicate some time to just practice the rhythm while muting the strings, mostly to get more familiar with the right dynamics. QUOTE (ClaudioStrat @ Feb 2 2022, 03:09 PM) the pinky position is a bit more of an issue, any suggestion on how to deal with that? or maybe some specific exercise? I think is getting better as I focus on it, but my pinky does't want to stay there... but i see the importance. Yes, the LEFT HAND lessons include exercises that will help you to focus on this finger which is the most rebellious. -------------------- My lessons

hi Gabri ,
sorry but got a bit confused the first exercise is all groups of 4 right? SO I should accentuate the 1st, always on a downstroke in this case. I'm asking because you talk about triplet in your video, instead are all groups of 4. in both RH2 and RH3. sorry but just want to make sure i get this correctly  i'm also working on the legato https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Left-Hand-Focus-I/ will post a video soon |

Hi Claudio, you are completely right. In this case, I arranged the pattern in 16th notes so here you need to accentuate the first of each group of 4. By the way, you could practice both versions.
