I agree with you and I think 5 is quite inaccurate. But then there are only 2 licks that are difficult and the rest are easy
5 will have to do I suppose
Thank you for the kind words and suggestion!

About the rating of 5. If we compare this to some of the level 9 stuff, there is a huge HUGE difference. For instance, sweeping with tapping by Muris is level 9 for sure, and comparing the difficulty with this, it makes the "5" difficulty level seem pretty accurate. I think on this site (which has a lot of high level lessons), we can probably consider level 5 still advanced.

You are exactly right! 5 is a rating for "Advanced" lesson on GMC. Click here to check out difficulty ratings chart for GMC lessons.

Hello everyone!
Another cool lesson for all of you and by saying cool I mean the mood of this solo and backing track is slow and cool.
As the title suggests "Slow RnB jam" is a solo that I just wrote and decided to share it with all of you here at GMC!
What I’m trying to show through this lesson is that everyone must feel the backing track or the chords of whatever jam you’re faced with first before actually jamming. Most of the times we just want to shred it out as much as we can but that’s actually wrong. Sometimes shredding too much can kill the melody thus taking the music out of the jam.
I hope that after this lesson everyone will learn how to keep it cool first before actually playing anything on the fret board.
