Original lesson: Neoclassical Etude #1 by Marcus Lavendell
Here's my try on Marcus Lavendel - Neoclassical Etude #1.
Full Version: Neoclassical Etude #1
Great take Diego! I would suggest for the future to make you guitar a little louder in the mix, especially when there is other instrument in the backing track, that plays a unison with the guitar 
I had a feeling that at the beginning the is some sort of sync issue between guitar and backing track but the further you go, the more precise it sounds and from the middle of the take, things become really tight. Great job!

Hi Diego,
Well done! Your playing is killer on this one. I can see that you are comfortable with this type of neoclassical playing.
Besides Darius comments regarding some little sync issue and the mix I'd like to add that if would be good for your playing to get used to do smaller left hand fingers movements. This is not affecting your work on this take but I think that it can be an issue when trying to play faster stuff. It's always better to economize movements.
Other than that this is a great take, keep on rocking.

Very cool - welcome to REC diegocasmo! 
We're obviously giving you 'pro tips' here as you pretty much master this difficult lesson.
I also reacted on the finger movement which might be a bit big - however when done for the right reason, I think it is acceptable:
I would personally advise you try play to this one at a slower tempo without any picking at all. And this will require more from your legato technique. I always practice this way when I have something technically difficult to learn, it seems to add an additional layer of comfort and tone - which is exactly what you need in the beginning of this track, to perfect the timing.
However even if you are striving for a powerful left-hand-only technique, you should also strive to minimize and relax your left hand motions as you progress.
