Hi Simon,

the (ASCII) tab you see was done in this way as a quick method to learn the licks with the video.
With the Guitar Pro file you have all the infos you need to learn the lesson. If you don't use Guitar Pro, you can view the same file using TuxGuitar, which is totally free.

Anyway, you can use also this pdf file to read the music in the "old" way, with no tabs. This is also a good exercise to do, sometimes. Trust me

Welcome to GMC man! Glad to see another N4 owner

Ok, let me know if you need some help in the future with this lesson

Hi Gary, thank you for commenting my lesson.
I see what you mean with your question. To be honest, I didn't think about a grace note while I was writing that lesson. Instead, I play all the coupled notes (thumb+middle fingers) with a slight accent.
I can't recall another musical term other than ghost note to identify some de-emphasized sounds. Grace notes are ornaments wich usually involve two sounds, like a quick hammer-on/pull-off or slide.
If you ear is telling you that the C note is too loud, you need to practice the fingerpicking technique to get all the possible nuances from your hands.
From my experience, this is just a problem for people who are starting to learning the fingerpicking technique. I don't know how much you master this technique but my suggestion is to play different patterns with your picking hand, even with open strings. You should experiment with accents in different position in the bars, to get a real control of your fingers.
Yeah, I also discovered that theme after the comment of our good-old member fkalich but I don't know anything about that show

Welcome to GMC Travis You've some great gear!

Hi McHyra, send a message to [email protected]
He will back to you as soon as possible.

Very nice take Brandon. Some notes are slightly different from the original lesson, as example the hammer-ons around 0:16 where I play this

b|-7h-8----|
g|-7-------|
d|-7h-9----|

but your changes are still in the right key, so there's no real problem about this. It seems that this video has a low volume compared to other ones you posted before. Anyway, I liked the feeling you put on this lesson! If you focus on some small details, you'll nail this lesson completely.

This is the take I like most between the last one you posted. Keep attention over the pitch of each note you bend, compared to the harmony of the backing track. Some bends could be played better.

I agree with Ivan here. As I wrote on the other lesson, check intonation as well.

Very nice take. Just a suggestion, be sure to check the intonation of each string before recording the final take. If the guitar has a perfect setup this only means that you should work on your vibrato and bending to get a good pitch for each note. Otherwise even notes with no bending/vibrato will sound wrong.

Great take man, almost perfect.

It seems that I still have it!

Hey Brandon, I'm teaching at school right now. I will search the backing this evening when I'll back to home!

I would try to play this instrument!



This is an interesting video about making one.

You're great, man

If you learn a couple of boxes of the minor pentatonic scale and if you try to improvise over a 12-bar blues progression.. well, nothing's wrong, in my opinion

Awesome players

Mmm.. No! I will check that music, thanks for posting.



Agree about the fingers

In my opinion, it's just a matter of experience. Play as many gigs as you can and you'll enjoy your live shows. Sometimes even a seasoned player can feel some tension before going on stage in some special occasion but it's just fine as long as we keep control of our instruments.

Very big news. Gonna watchin' the video.

Antonio Vivaldi did a great job. This is for people living in the northern hemisphere right now



Seriously, there is no relationship between what I listen to and the current season/weather.

Great one

Very nice cover! The piano sound isn't the best out there but I guess it's a part of her strong attack.

Good luck for the show man!
