- Darius Wave19th September 2013
  Great Ben! Waiting for Your take then!
- Caelumamittendum19th September 2013
  You missed a slide in the tab by the way in the 12th bar. To the 14th fret. Had me confused for a bit.
- Ben Higgins19th September 2013
  Brilliant !!
- Darius Wave19th September 2013
  Sometimes GP doesn't work correct when there is more of articulation pointed :/ I will recheck this but it might be the reason. Anyway...Those flowing, phrasing lessons are much harder to transcribe to tabs than some of the shred stuff Tabs program do not predict some situations even if they look like having many options already I will look at it closely anyway +1 for You Ben - Vigilant student is a good student

  Lovely lesson, Gab has given me this to do and it's MUCH harder than it looks
- Darius Wave4th June 2015
  Yes Phil - that's the trick Details matter. Let me know if You need any additional help aside from Gabriel's
- Phil664th June 2015
  Can you give me you fingers please I reckon this will take me weeks to just get into my fingers then more weeks to get it sound ok :/
- Darius Wave8th June 2015
  I'm afraid that's impossible but be patient and respect the details - that's how You'll get the best of lesson for your own playing
- Phil6616th June 2015
  Any tips on tone settings? Your tone is stunning.
  Cheers
- Phil6621st June 2015
  Ahhh, never spotted the tone/signal chain bit in the lesson text. Confused the hell out of me
- Darius Wave23rd June 2015
  Ha ha I'ma bit delayed with response but yeah - I do add tone information in lesson description
- Phil6625th June 2015
  first three notes of bar 12 have really got me stumped, yours are almost ghostly, they are so so subtle. It's all hard but I'm stuck right there
- Darius Wave27th June 2015
  Try to loose some of the pick angle (more straight). Would give more round tone and less "slicing feel". There also could be an instrument issue like dead notes on particular frets
- Phil662nd July 2015
  Thanks. I've got past bar twelve now, a little scruffy but I want to get it into my fingers and then start to refine it. I hate learning and refining one bar then learning and refining another. I like to learn a bar roughly then learn the next bar while refining the previous, etc etc. The dynamics at bar12 in the GP5 file do seem wrong to me though, much stringer than how you play them in the video. Thanks for this brilliant lesson Darius
- Darius Wave3rd July 2015
  Phil - dynamics are one of the most important (right after phrasing) aspects of playing. At the same time those are the most hard to be well translated in the music sheet pr tabs. Please contact me via PM for any additional feedback. Send me a scrren and try to give some details. I'm not sure how to understand "stringer" in this particular case. Awaiting your explanation and details at my inbox
- Phil663rd July 2015
  Sorry Darius, I meant "STRONGER" not "STRINGER",it was a typing error. I'll send you a screen shot of where I think it is different. Sorry, I'm not picking faults with your work, just an observation
- Phil6626th August 2015
  Bars 29 and 30 are like a tongue twister for the fingers, I keep getting different parts of each bar mixed up in the other bar
- Darius Wave27th August 2015
  With your attitude Phil I'm sure you'll "untwist that tounge" very soon
- Phil6627th August 2015
  Thanks for your confidence in me Darius I have nearly thrown my guitar through the window many many times and more. I am like this man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vms_6_TSQuc
  go to 2:55 and you will see how I feel
