Hi Siya!! Great to see all your videos here!!

I have to say that most of the parts sounds very good. The rhythm and picking arpeggios lessons are the ones that sound better. I just think that you can work on the part that you change to B and Bm in the picking arpeggios one to make it sound smoother.

Picking Hand Basics: There is one of the rhythm patterns (starting at 00:30) that is different compared to the original. Check it out. Besides this, you can work a bit more to adjust timing along the whole lesson, and also pay some attention to dynamics. Notice how the first note of each group of 4 16th notes, or 3 triplets is a bit accentuated.

Land of legato: It sounds good. There is some room to adjust timing and to make your fingers feel more comfortable with the shapes and movements. I notice that you are doing too much strength and pressure. Try to minimize strength and movements and relax your left hand. It will help a lot.

During the next week I recommend this routine:

Warming up:

Stretches & Massages: https://youtu.be/1XsLRQFV7rY
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Warmin...Finger-Fitness/

Left hand:

Hi Siya! Thanks for the videos!

I can see that you are already playing both lessons very well! Now it's time to polish details.

Neoclassical Solo For Beginners:
The main element that you need to work here is Vibrato. I notice that you are adding strong vibrato everywhere which is ok. You need to make it sounds more consistent now since it is not regular, and sometimes it's not related with the groove of the backing track. I also recommend you to let the notes sound first and then add it gradually. The best that you can do to improve this is to compare your take with Ben's to find the differences and dedicate some time to play along with him, to emulate this vibrato details.

Other than that, this sounds good, there are just a few missed notes, and a half band that is not reaching the pitch.

Basic Rock Rhythm:
This one sounds good! You just have to focus on making the chord sound more defined. Sometimes you don't pick all the required strings so the chords don't sound clear. I also think that you can work on Articulation, mostly when you play single string riffs and lines. You tend to mute the notes too early and that makes the connections less fluid. Does it make sent?

Hi Siya!

Thanks for the videos mate!

Your playing on Chord Picking Etude is very good. It sounds tight and clean most of the time. I only notice that your guitar has very little tuning issues. Be sure to tune it correctly if you decide to record a take for REC.

The other lesson needs to be rechecked because you are playing it with a different rhythm. Notice the combination of Sixteen notes with triplets. I recommend you to practice this one for a while using the guitar pro, with metronome on, and slowing down tempo, until you can follow the rhythm.

Does it make sense?
