Thank you a lot for the comments Gab!
There is a part 7 on the acoustic solo as well which I will begin with  Regarding new lessons, I have taken a look but I can't find many level 2-3 acoustic melody/solo lessons. I found this one but it seems above my level https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Nylon-Jam-lesson/ Do you have any suggestions? |

I have not checked a tab, am I playing the correct notes now? The reason why it took a while to figure it out was because the first note is a G so I expected the scale to be G Major. Which was not the case The scale is C Major.Yes! Now you are playing the right notes! Knowing the scale can make the things easier. You are ready to continue with the next melody. Well done! -------------------- My lessons

From what I know, you need to know all notes in a melody in order to find the right scale. Thanks, the ear training is a lot of fun and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out stuff by ear. |

Cool! Notice that the lesson uses a different tuning. It's drop D.

Hi mate!! Congrats on your first complete take for this lesson!!
Besides the obvious timing issues that are not that big, I also notice the vibrato thing that you said, and this makes me think that we need to get into a vibrato lesson soon. However, you also can make a small tweak in your playing that will help you to improve your vibrato and it's to use the other fingers 1 and 2 when finger 3 is pressing the fret, and fingers 1, 2 and 3 when finger 4 is doing the vibrato. In other words, you can use your other fingers to help the one that is pressing the fretboard to make your vibrato (and bending if it's needed much easier). If you have some free time (maybe traveling), please watch this lesson where I explain these concepts: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Left-H...ending-Vibrato/ -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (HiimAlex @ Nov 20 2021, 10:48 AM) Hey, Thanks Gab! I agree, I think it is needed to improve my vibrato. I think we can go for one soon. Maybe after this lesson is done? That sounds great, I have heard that tip before but didn't remember it. I will try it out. I have watched the lesson now, you explain it in a very good way Sure! It could be an electric guitar lesson, what do you think? You won't be able to make it sound exactly as the lesson, but it will be a very good exercise. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ibrato-Workout/ -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gab
Thanks for the response. I will work on these things you mentioned. It is nice to wrap up these lessons. My inspiration has been a bit low the last days, I hope it comes back soon and that I am longing to play guitar again. I am going to think if there is any way I can do to become more motivated again Maybe try jamming or composing something?At the moment I am not working on any other lesson. I think this lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ibrato-Workout/ is an excellent choice, the notes at the 15th and 17th fret will be very difficult to play on an acoustic guitar. I found these lessons, maybe we could start working one of them as well https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/City-and-Colour-Style/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...rumming-lesson/ Or do you think I should wait and finish one lesson before starting with another rhythm lesson?

Hi Alex!
I think that City and Colour style is a good choice for you! Let's go for it. And I also think that experimenting with some composition or improvisation can also be interesting. What about composing some chord progressions and then jamming over them? You can use this lessons to learn how to do it: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/lessonser...ing-Essentials/ And I can guide you here.

QUOTE (HiimAlex @ Dec 8 2021, 09:21 AM) Hi Gab! Great, I will start working on that lesson. Should I use Goo Goo Dolls and Acoustic Solo as warm up lessons and put most of the practicing into the Vibrato lesson and "City and Colour"? Yes! -------------------- My lessons
