Hi Krakou! Nice to know that my feedback inspired you to continue working on the lesson. You have a great potential so I think that the next steps will take your playing to a very promising level. The SRV tips lesson is a very good on to keep on working that style of blues rhythm stuff. Denes playing is aggressive and groovy as Vaughan's so I think that it's cool to work on it. Remember to pay attention to:
- Dynamics - Groove - Vibrato and also, a good thing to do would be to analyze the arpeggios and scales used to be able to create variations and your own improvisations based on this style. And about the match... I hope that Argentina wins... if not, you won't be able to continue in my Army. hahaha  just kidding! I hope to see a great match!

Hi Krakou, nice to hear from you again here!
 The rocker lesson is sounding good. I can notice that you are still limited with this current tempo, but you will be able to play it faster with this precision with some more practice. You have to be careful with your bending technique because sometimes I notice that you don't reach the correct pitch. Another detail that I would like to mark is that sometimes you play the notes a bit before the beat, mostly in the first riff when you play 16th notes. The best would be to divide this lesson in parts and work on them isolated to improve details and to focus on gaining some more speed. So you are getting back to practice, what's the plan? and the goals? -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, this sounds very good. Don't worry about exercises, it's always better to focus on musical stuff, that's why GMC lessons are so effective. This two tips can help you to get even more from these ones:
- Work on variations of the licks. I've been talking about this previously on this thread but I wanted to refresh it. This idea will make you incorporate the licks and make them of you own. Improvise over the backing track provided combining the licks with your own ideas. - Create exercises based on the tricky parts in order to master them. This is applicable when you find parts that are difficult and that need some extra practice. Isolate the ideas, try to identify the reason why you can't play it well and create some exercises based on it to practice as a loop over metronome. It's very useful to set goals and plans when you have them because it will be the guide to design your guitar routines and practice. Everybody is different so there can be exceptions but we tend to waste our time when we don't have at least some guidelines on the things that we should work. We can even dedicate the guitar time to just trying to decide what to practice. You said: "A problem I will always have is that I like lots of different styles, and sometimes it is quite difficult to connect things." You made me remember this amazing speech: -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, good shoot!
The overall take is very close but it has some rhythm / timing details to improve. - There is something different at 00:17 compared to the original lesson. All that section has a difference that you should review in the tabs. - The part that starts at 00:40 has some timing and rhythm issues. Some notes are played a bit early while some others a bit late. - The lick starting at 00:50 is played with a different rhythm compared with the original lesson. Re-check it. - Try to make the connection between melodies and power chords at 01:01 smoother and the following section's timing tighter. Focus on those details and you will master this lesson soon, I think that you are close to master it. Keep on the good job.

Hi mate. Well, I can say that this is not a problem. I think that it's good to start trying to master lessons as they are to be sure that you are not changing the things because of limitations. This is off course, having in mind that you are on a learning / training period. However, it's also important to dedicate some time to some random practice that includes variations, and some extra improvisations that help you to incorporate some of the licks and ideas on your own playing and style. The idea is that the lessons add some licks to your vocabulary as well as inspire to to come out with some new stuff.

In that case, it is not really a problem, because I can make it sound quite ok, and the little discrepancies do not mean I'm not able to play it. For other lessons, it is definitely an issue if I choose the easy way to hide the fact it is too difficult for me. It can be ok to play a little bit dusty or even out of tune for instance (at least for my ears), but only if it is by choice and you can also play it clean. And now, some laidback inspiration :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOfIN7XBl-4 |

Exactly. This is the way to find your own voice with the instrument and that's our main goal. That's a nice song, thanks for sharing.

This one is closerI think.
I also try to keep the energy of the style In fact I would like to be able to jump while playing this... I also give you my first "Gilmour/walliman" draft lesson, not perfect yet, but listenable. This post has been edited by krakou: Sep 30 2014, 09:55 AM

Hi mate! Great takes! Joy Division's one still has differences in the parts that I previously marked but it sounds much more solid now. The changes are all musical now, there aren't timing issues. Well done!
And about the other lesson (Gilmour), as you said, it's a very enjoyable take. I like your feeling and phrasing on this one. I can notice how your soloing skills are taking shape. Your bending technique is precise, and your timing is quite perfect in the whole take. I also like the way you set delay effect and the quantity of drive used, it sounds clean but it has enough sustain, it's great! -------------------- My lessons

I think that it would be really useful if you incorporate these two exercises into your diary practice:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey-5/ and off course some other phrasing lessons.... https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/guitar_loves_piano/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Steve-...r-Modern-Style/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Blues-Dynamics/ -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate!
The lesson is evolving very well. It's not as easy as it seems because it requires a good manage of feeliing and timing. The first one (feeling) is better than the second one, but off course there is room to improve both things. There are notes that are not clear (you surely note them) and there are also some timing issues, mostly the phrases with palm muting. It's not an easy task to keep timing tight when you just have a piano in the backing track so I can say that even with the little timing issue, you take is very valuable. The next step is to practice it over the original lesson to emulate expression and timing details. Focus on vibrato, notes length, dynamics and timing. The tone is not bad, I would like to hear a warmer sound, but it's not bad. Delay setting fit great with the phrases and backing. So just experimenting a bit with EQ is my suggestion. Keep on the good job!! -------------------- My lessons
