Beginner Soloing #2, Lesson By Darius Wave |
Rules
Here is where the magic happens: the REC board turns bedroom guitarists into real pros. Remember - it doesn't matter if you fail or pass, as long as you keep posting REC takes you will progress.
The entries will be graded by a number of instructors. After grading, members will be accredited with the appropriate points if they pass, and adjustments will be made to their REC level.
Passing grade is 6 or higher.

Original lesson: Beginner Soloing #2 by Darius Wave
I found this lesson to be by far the most difficult out of all the Level 2 lessons that I've done! Maybe because I consider bending as my weakest area (and my fingertips were in painful fire too!). Or maybe it is because of my 7 string guitar having a thick neck! I don't know! Hope you enjoy it! |

On to debriefing! I noticed about 20 seconds in that your bend is good, but it lacks the vibrato oscillation that Darious is doing in the demo. I can see your arm moving up and down to try to recreate the sound but your fingers are bending up and staying up. This is not an easy lick. It requires that you do a full bend and then do vibrato at the very top of the bend. But it's a key part of the Lesson. I'd say Isolate the different parts of the lesson and work on each. You are very close on this one so it's a solid 6 from me.|

Nice George! I think that this lesson is a good choice for you since it combines different techniques in the same musical tune.
These are some things that I'd like to mark and comment: - Your tone has too much drive and it's more "metal" compared to the original take. I would go for a closer tone that allows you to manage more dynamics in your playing. - Your vibrato need attention on this one. In some cases you don't do it while in others it is too soft. - Your bending is not bad, mostly in the first part. In the final sections, your bending is not consistent, so maybe your hands where tired or something. Work on that part. I would start taking care of those things to see how your overall performance improves. -------------------- My lessons
