I think this take has a nice "vintage" quality to it, due to the sound. Very nice. However, there are some problems, and the biggest is detuned feel, because the guitar is way out of tune. Try to tune it perfectly before recording, it will create much better effect. Other then that, it can be a bit more tighter! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Your take here is quite good and played with feeling/intent. I do hear a bit of a tune drift though It's a tad distracting from your playing. Is there an intonation issue on some frets? It sorta comes and goes. Are you gripping so hard it's raising the string tune by a few semi tones? The chord changes are quick when I'm hearing it, it may just be the power chord transition. Maybe take another look at the first bit of the song and try some of the spiffy tricks I mentioned in the last rec take about power chords and see if any of them help here. You've got the attitude to play this and pull it off well. And goodness knows you have the Tshirt! Just a bit more pinky focus on your chordage and I think you've got it! Ponyhof!

For me, there's 2 main areas of improvement to make the lesson sound more like Marcus intended. When you slide down with the power chords from the 5th and 3rd frets.. the second chord is getting a little bit lost as you're rushing it. Try isolating this section and play it without backing.. focus on every chord change.. each chord should ring out the same. Stay on the second chord a bit longer before going to the open E5 shape. The other thing concerns the open E5 chord.. after playing the bottom 3 strings, you play the higher strings like Marcus does. However it sounds like Marcus is only hitting the open E & B strings, which keeps it a neutral E5 sound. I think you're hitting the open G string as well which then makes it an Eminor sound, so it's quite different from the lesson. Nothing major to fix, but just tweak them a little bit and the piece is yours ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

BUT Tom Morello is a very rhythmic, groovie and inventive player - tightness is a must as well as perfect timing! So, put a little more time in this take - play at slow speed until you nail everything perfectly. You should be able to make me nod my head on this take for a ten You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
