Hello Monica, Here's a take from the second part of the lesson, with the last part as a first take. The last part did not feel so difficult to me as it is not so technical. Only the trills are new to me but I watched how Darius performed it and tried to copy it as good as possible. Of course it still needs work and practise but for the first time I'm quite happy about it. Analysis: 0-28: this part feels more relaxed and comfortable to play. It's smoother then the last take. The vibrato's are better I think. Only the pinky still likes to swim 40-1.02: I hear good difference between muted and not muted. No big issues here... 1.07: this vibrato should last longer. I moved my finger too early. 1.10: the first trills are a bit harder to execute because it's higher up the fretboard. 1.29: I let the end chord ring too long I'm satisfied with this take Cheers, Gert Hi Gert! That's a really nice take and, from what I see, you succeeded in managing the last bars. That's great!!! As usual, your analysis is correct. Hmm....your G string sounds a little out of tune. The vibrato is better but still requires a little more work. The motion should be wider. Imagine that you should play there half step (almost half step) down bends. To make a good vibrato, you need to have a solid point for your hand (same hand position as for the bends). The trills - sound ok for the first try but....let me explain to you the technique to do them. When we play trills, we use a combination of hammer-on and pull-off techniques. Hammer-on means to hit the string with the tip of your finger without picking the string. It's actually what you have done in your take. Pull-off is exactly the opposite of the hammer-on. You need to pull the finger off the fret, pulling on the string a little with that finger and letting the note ring. This is what is missing at this moment from your take. Here you have a lesson about pull-off. Take a look to understand the technique better. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/How-To...Offs/?part=main Great work!!! For next time, you can try playing the entire lesson. Have a great day! |

I will go for 10... Still a long way to go to reach the initial speed of 160bpm. Hahaha...I knew you would choose 10. |
