It requires big stretch/reach and had wads of tapping that involved pulling off to an open string which is something folks struggle with as it's not a type of tapping that is common like the Van Halen style. You knocked it out of the park! I like your tone as well!! I do hear the delay, you can just turn the delay OFF and resave the patch, problem solved! Or turn off the delay and save it as a new patch and rename it. Either way will work. Let's debrief!! MEDALS OF HONOR TAPPING LIKE A MAD MAD: This has some very difficult two hand tapping bits that travel all the way up the strings. You attacked and crushed them all! MUTING: I wanted you to go all the way through all the strings to find out if there are any gaps in your mute. Good news! No gaps. STRETCH/REACH: I put these notes far apart on purpose to force your hand to stretch. You did each and every one of them. Score! You really nailed it on each and every one of these! Very well done. In other words you crushed it and ... LEVELED UP!!! YOU ALSO REMAIN OUR TOP DAWG!!!* QUOTE (fzalfa @ Feb 20 2018, 05:50 PM) Hi Sarge This is mission #72.... another painfully one, specialy for pinky !! i have used one of your preset... delay have disapointed me a bit My respects Sarge Laurent You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I can see your fingers though and it looks good, but please do try to put more space in between each cross fade so that it does not cut off the start and sometimes the end of your playing, you've worked hard and I'd like to be able to hear the fruits of your labor!!!!!! Let's debrief!! MEDALS OF HONOR MEMORY MAN: This lesson picks up where the last one left off and asks you to memorize very long note sequences. These are VERY tough Missions indeed and you are KILLING IT. Well done on learning these licks, they are NOT easy to memorize or play. Score! PRECISION: Pacing is solid and picking/hand synch are spot on as well. Even the pinky slide is there! Double Score!!!! AGGRESION: I really appreciate the way you attack the mission soldier. I can hear the aggression in your playing. TRIPLE SCORE!! In short you have crushed one of the most difficult missions of the entire series. This is where things get seriously challenging and you are stepping up and fighting at the FRONT LINE!!!! In other words you just LEVELED UP!!!!AND YOU REMAIN TOP DAWG!!!!* QUOTE (fzalfa @ Feb 22 2018, 03:46 PM) Hi Sarge This is Mission #73... hard one ,really hard My respects Sarge Laurent You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

These are some of the toughest Missions in the entire series and they are all back to back. Each one has multiple parts and each part could honestly be it's own Mission. This is the tough bit before you break every record and make it in to triple digits which has simply never been done before. Let's debrief! MEDALS OF HONOR!! Timing: Solid pace on each one. Your sense of timing has come a long way since Mission 1! Muting: Solid muting on each one and they are designed to be bursting with string noise if you don't keep a good mute. Picking: Very solid alternate picking which gets tough with this much string traverse. This is a bear of a Mission. All of these in this area are tough. You are plowing through them Soldier! keep it up! In short you just ... LEVELED UP!!!!! AND YOU REMAIN TOP DAWG!!!!* Sarge QUOTE (fzalfa @ Mar 4 2018, 11:45 AM) Hi Sarge This is the mission #74 !!!! last parts was long to learn.. why ? i don't know !!

It's got several bits that you must play in order to make it to the end. None of them are easy. All of them require a stretch and memorizing very odd note sequences that you would otherwise not normally ever play. That's the point of this one, to get your hand to adapt to simply bizarre things that your fingers are not used to. The good news is that you had ZERO problem with this at all! Also, better video editing so I can see/hear the start and completion of a vid. Let's debrief!.. MEDALS OF HONOR STREEEEETCH: Is in full effect. Sticking the landing with the pinky as well. Nice! MUTE OF THE GODS: Solid palm muting all the way through. You have developed a very solid mute where your hand stays planted on the bridge and you tilt to reach notes. That's how it should be. SYNCH TO BEAT THE BAND: Very tight right/left hand synch on each one. You have zero trouble there. These are the rough ones Soldier. You are ripping it up! Keep your momentum Soldier!!! I like the tone as well. Is this a new patch? One thing I would suggest, I know it's not your normal thing, but try to do one lesson in classical position to see how it feels, it may feel strange In other words you just.. LEVELED UP!!!!! AND YOU STILL ARE THE TOP DAAAAWGG!!!!* Sarge QUOTE (fzalfa @ Mar 5 2018, 04:46 PM) Hi Sarge My barels are still hot and smoking !!

Mar 8 2018, 05:09 PM	GMC:er Posts: 25.297 Joined: 23-December 09 From: Atlanta, Georgia, USA	The Streak Continues!! This is yet another mission with multiple parts and requires multi picking! These are not easy bits and you have to play each and every one in order to level up. You have been doing a great job burning through these! P.S. I like your patch tone but the delay may be hiding things. I think it sounds familiar, is it one of mine? Maybe kill the delay just for Missions, it sounds great but makes it a bit harder for me to hear whats happening. Let's debrief! MEDALS OF HONOR MULTI PICKING: You can multi pick just about anything Soldier! MUTING : String noise is quiet as DEATH. AGGRESSION: The sheer angry picking is impressive. Keep it up Soldier! You are rubbing up against the double digit threshold. In other words you just.. LEVELED UP!! YOU REMAIN OUR TOP DAWG!!!!* QUOTE (fzalfa @ Mar 7 2018, 04:02 PM) Hi Sarge Mission #76 is done.... nothing special, except the bend part, i always feel them hard My respects Sarge Laurent You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

As for your work on this it's top notch! Multi picking like a Mad Man, technique is spot on. This is yet another one of the BIG lessons where you have to show adept skill on a variety of techniques over a series of different pieces. Well fought! Let's debrief!! MEDALS OF HONOR (You remain the TOP DAWG!!!) MULTI PICKING - Mega Multi Picking on display. You've really come a loooong way on multi picking and it's one of your best techniques now IMHO. Nice! MUTING: Quiet as Death Per usual. You've developed a very strong muting technique and it's serving you well. AGGRESSION: You have been en fuego on the AGGGRO!!! Keep it up!!! You are killing some of the hardest missions that we have to offer. Keep killing it!! In other words you just...
