Original lesson: MANOWAR for Beginners by Lian Gerbino
This one was fun and chunky. Also didn't think I could get such gnarly tones out of single coil strat. |

Hi IceThrone!
Great job here! Your playing is clean and precise as the style requires, so this take obviously passes here. However, I think that there is still room to make this one sound cooler. How? By working on details: - Groove: Your timing is not good but check again how groovy makes Lian sound this gallop. I must say that moving headbanging really helps to play with much more groove. - The tremolo thing sounds more connected to the backing, there is something rigid in your version. Work on it. - The solo section also can sound groovier, but you also need to put some more focus on bending pitches and vibrato. Ok mate, it's another 7 here, keep on rocking! -------------------- My lessons

Another VICTORY. Very Good stuff here. You have a good feel for METAL . It sounds like it is supposed to sound, it feels like it is supposed to feel. You could step in to Manowar and do just fine IMHO. Without repeating what's already been said, I'd like to talk about your vibrato. There are few spots when you use your first finger only for vibrato, which is fine, but the vibrato itself is a bit shallow and tepid and not very wide and smooth. Good vibrato starts small and gets bigger over time. There are a few instances, each one using the first finger for vibrato, where it's a big too uniform and and too shallow. About one minute in there are two examples of what I'm talking about. You can make good vibrato with a single finger, it just takes a bit more work.
Just to give an example, here is a track I did a solo for that has tons of vibrato and about 13 seconds in, it's got a single finger doing vibrato that is a good example of what' I'd like to see. It's a bit over the top, but you will get the idea. Also, take a look at my pick hand. It stays pretty loose the entire time while maintaining a solid palm mute and making solid pick strikes. This takes a bit of practice but you are almost there! Solid 7! QUOTE (IceThrone @ Jun 25 2020, 07:16 PM)  Original lesson: MANOWAR for Beginners by Lian Gerbino This one was fun and chunky.

In general I have a good feelign on this one. Actually the only thing that really sticks out is your vibrato.
