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: Blues Licks by Gabriel Leopardi
As I'm struggling to play an assignement from Gabriel for weeks now, I just wanted to relax and to propose you a lesson I've played a million times over the last years. Still no perfect, but better than a couple of years ago. I've added a "free-style" take after the official one as it is quite a short lesson. I've tried to add some variations for Ben :-) |

Hi mate,
I think that Darius comments are on spot. This is not a bad take but it's lacking what makes blues so enjoyable: feeling, dynamics, tasty tone. I think that it's a great idea to try to get the most from this lesson and try to work on 1 concept at a time. It would have a killer impact in your overall playing. The licks need extra focus and attention so I feel that it would be better to work on 1 at a time trying to make it sound better regarding each element included: vibrato, bending, picking intensities, groove. And besides this, work a bit more on your tone. It's a bit "dead" by now, it needs more presence, more mids, more life. Let's continue at the mentoring thread! -------------------- My lessons
