Vai Made Easy, Lesson By Ben Higgins |
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 George, how are you? I copy here the same comment that I've given you at the mentoring program.
Great to find your video playing this GMC lesson. This is a good choice to start. There are a few things that you need to work on this one to be able to master the take. These details will need special attention and you'll have to focus on 1 at a time to get used to them. The first thing that I note is that your bending needs some adjustment. You are letting the note sound and then adding the vibrato, that's ok! but your vibrato is not going natural with the groove of the backing, and sometimes it's a bit irregular. This is not a dramatic issue but you need to pay some attention to it and maybe practice over the original lesson to emulate Ben's vibrato rhythm and width. The second issue that I note is the apparition of unwanted noises here and there. You need to be sure that you are muting all the strings that you are not playing. The lower strings can be muted with the palm of your left hand, the higher ones can be muted with your left hand index finger (as a bare). The closer strings to the one that you are playing is usually muted with the same finger that is pressing the played fret. Finally, there are some timing issues in some section, for example when you play the slides at 00:36. This can also be adjusted by workin on small blocks over the original lesson. Ok mate, please let me know if these feedback is clear and if you have any question. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons

Hi George, welcome to the REC Zone - it's great to see you playing this lesson.
I think you do a very good job of this. There's only two main issues that need immediate attention. - Timing: In many places, you rush ahead a little too much. Your timing is generally good but you tend to speed up too much when you play anything complex. - Muting unwanted noise. As Gabriel said, you can mute with your picking as well as using your fretting hand index finger to cover the higher strings so they don't ring out. I talk about using your hands to mute on this section of my course https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Dealing-With-Distortion/ Hopefully you'll find it useful. Keep up the good work! |
