Hi and thanks for video
 There are small problems here mainly caused by timing. Just focus yourself to play strict 16th in tapping and sweeping part, should be a lot easier. You got notes correct,all you have to do now is to play it "in time". There are parts when 8th triplets are involved,same thing,watch the timing. Fingering is ok,technique wise you're more than OK to play this, just be a bit more in beat,that's all.

QUOTE (eddiecat @ Dec 19 2007, 11:25 AM)  Thank you Coffeeman! Todays a sad day: I just laid my right hand middle finger in it's coffin!  I tried everything... Mouth to mouth breathing, heart massage... But nothing! It died this morning at 6!!! But I managed to save my left hand pinky just in time! I guess I'll just have to rest for a few days... Cheers, Eddie Hey,I have idea Eddie!! When you feel that much pain in middle finger cause of tapping, just switch a bit on index or even ring finger, I used to do that many times, works quite nice,saves middle finger AND keeps you to use more fingers for tapping which will make it easier for you when you start playing 8 fingers tap licks etc.

QUOTE (coffeeman @ Dec 19 2007, 04:58 PM) Hi Muris, The leagto lick after the sweeping lick should be played in 8 npb or in triplets? Im having problems with that one. And Im working on the tapping part to play it also in 8 nps , I dont know but I play it in triplets too. Thanks. Legato part is in 32th which means 8 notes per bar,yes. Those patterns ARE confusing a bit cause you're playing 3 nps while counting 4 or 8,like here. Just take it slowly in tempo,you'll be fine I'm sure.

HELLO!!!
Ok Muris, here's where I'm at now! I don't know why but everytime I record something I play it worse!!!! I swear I play it better when I practice I know there are timing problems and the sweep is wrong, but I concentrated on my pinky and alternated middle and ring finger for the tapping part as you suggested!!! Hope you see some improvements! Thank you. Oh, and I hope you had a great time in these days! Cheers, Eddie

Yep,I missed it but here I am now
This is great take Eddie,wonderful added notes and sort of improvisation!!! There are still small issues regarding to timing,on sweep and tapping parts but you can nail it with some extra practicing, more focus on 16th,16th triplets, try to understand them better and that's it. But greatest thing is that you're feeling free to actually "play" this lesson, not just to repeat what I did,thumbs up Eddie!!
