One of the lessons that brought me to this site was Marcus' Evening Blues lesson. I'm not a huge neoclassical guy but I do love his more bluesy rock style. One of the elements of that lesson that was/is over my head is the tapping section and I noticed this one has some too. Kind of unexplored ground for me so this will be good to get some exposure there. Either way, gotta get it done. If my wife hears that I've been "living la vida loco" she's going to have some serious questions. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Ah, so this is definitely a good one for you then ! You ned to be able to move through phrases like a cascading waterfall. It's like having moments of smoothness and then sudden moments of intensity. First, try it by listening for the chord changes first and then moving to the next phrase. This will mean it's slightly behind the beat but it will help you determine where the 'line' is and when to cross it and when to stay back You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Got the structure down for the most part although there are still some minor problems here and there but the timing is by far the biggest challenge.

Still sounds a little clunky to me but this was the cleanest take I got. Definitely tough to flow with the backing but the more I practiced the closer I got to feeling my way through more naturally.

There was definitely an element of luck in that take. The more I did it the better I felt like my anticipation was getting. It still took a ton of recordings to get this close and there were still some pretty obvious bad notes in there. This was my best combination of correct notes/slides/bends and overall timing.

Vibrato was just great, tone.. everything Congratulations to thee.. one Donut is yours ! QUOTE (maharzan @ May 25 2012, 04:36 AM) I will give up on this one. You dare to utter those words in this Temple ? Without hardship or discomfort, there is no growth. Face your fears and slay the Dragon of soloing over a backing with no defined beat !

Almost develop a muscle memory of when to move. I did that early on and I felt like it got me on track or at least close enough to be in the general area when I went to just the backing.

I used a metronome behind the track to figure out where to start. Guessing it was getting annoying. Sorry Bushido but I had to do this. Theres so much going on in this lesson. Thanks for the push.
