QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 15 2009, 11:58 AM)  Like this? Accents are fine but you're not keeping pure AP all the time I think, specially after beginning of ascending part, what you do is that you play last 6th note in group with an upstroke (which is ok) but then you continue with an upstroke for 1st note in next group, that might be easier cause it's less movements but it breaks your picking scheme a bit and leads to sloppy picking. Focus on each 1st of 6, play them with accent as you did AND with downstroke, that should work pretty fine to clean things up nicely.

I don´t know why I did it.

You don't have to post new take every time we discuss tho ( which is great!! ), I just wanted to gave you few insights for better execution of the whole lesson.

I don´t have any problems with posting a lot of videos.  I think it´s a fantastic help for both of us to discuss some issues.BTW, I have to tell you 2 great things. First, Kris allowed me to be an instructor and student (in order to participate in the MTP, collaborations, etc.) at the same time. I want to be instructor because I want to get some money for my university years. Second, I think I found my university: BIMM Brighton Guees who´s a teacher at this school? This mister.

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 16 2009, 08:03 PM) Anyway, here´s my solo over the blues BT. I guess there are not enough bends, or? It was also a bit improvised.Bends were very fine tho I expected some extra vibrato too, apply more next time, ok! Oh, one thing, at approx 0:29 you played repetitive lick using F#,A, and C notes, that would would perfectly over D7 chord but you had G7 in progression, go for F note instead.

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 18 2009, 02:45 PM) Muris, what about developing my composition skills? I have two days of holidays left and I want to spend them on music, especially composing. Just tell me what style, etc. and I´ll try to do it in those 2 days.Sure thing, why not! You can try to make a simple backing , don't bother a lot with arrangement, focus on progression and lead line of course. Pick any style you want tho, all works fine for me!

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 19 2009, 08:29 PM) Status: I started doing a BT yesterday, but I´m not satisfied with it. I think I´m gonna do a new one on rock style. Today, I didn´t practise much the MTP stuff. Instead, I rearranged Canon Rock which I´m gonna play in the Talent Show (instead of Blue Note in A  ).Tomorrow, school begins, so I´ll have much less time... However, I´ll try to find as much time as possible for music. Cheers! Sorry to hear Tolek but it's not the end of the world!! Keep me posted tho.

Muris, I just recorded my take on "Canon Rock". It´s not really good, I´m tired and didn´t practise some places much, but I just wanted to get some hints on performance.
It´s set as private, so only you can see it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKumhVUdRds |

Well, the only hint I can think of is to learn it properly
and clean up all tricky parts, like the one when you stopped playing. Locate those sections and do them one at the time, sweeping lick in the break must be a lot more articulated (A major I think), spend few hours just on those 3 shapes if needed! And watch out on timing, I'm not sure if you can hear backing properly when you record, maybe if you set volume of backing bit louder might help.

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 23 2009, 10:35 PM) Yeah, I know that a lot of parts new polishing. I tried to make the BT louder and it helps. Anyway, could you give me some hints on performing? I mean what could I do instead of standing there and staring at my fretboard. Sometimes, I feel so unnatural on stage...  Hmm, well you can't do a lot on performance indeed until you nail the piece 100%, otherwise you can jump around and make grins but it'll be sloppy, no doubt! However if you really wanna see how you look on the stage when you ARE ready to play what you play then you could play something lets say "easy" or anything you feel comfortable with, record it and we'll discus it, why not.
