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.

Hi mate! We've been working on this one at the mentoring thread and I can say that it shows improvements compared to your previous take.
Your timing is better on the whole take and the tuning is also a bit better. But regarding tuning, I noted that you are doing too much pressure with your left hand fingers, and sometimes you slightly bend the notes that you are playing so the tuning is not precise. This happens mostly over the D5 chord and on the bridge's riff. This is also generated because you are not playing this relaxed, your hands and body look tense. I think that you need to continue practicing this one trying to relax your hands and body while you do it. This will solve the tuning issue and will make this sound groovier and smoother. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons

Hi this is a much better take. As the guys say, tuning and tension are your main issues at the moment.
Tuning - You've already been given the best advice here which relates to how much tension you exert when fretting notes. The harder you push down on a string, the higher in pitch it goes. So tuning is a 2 part strategy. First, check that the tuning is actually right. Then it's down to you, the player, to fret your chords and keep them sounding even. But you're definitely on the right track so keep going. Tension - You are using too much arm motion here which is unnecessary and will tire you out. Watch my video here about hand positions for speed picking. Even though the video is about speed picking, the same rules apply to strumming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vfT0k7nPNs |
