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 Tim,
This is not an easy lesson because is has many different licks that require technique and expression control. I think that you'll need to work on smaller fragments in order to master each of the licks played here. When doing it please have in mind these ideas: - Tone: I think that using the neck pick up can make this one sound closer to Santana, but not sure, just try it. - Hands Sync: The faster licks show issues regarding the sync between both hands. You need to identify this parts and work on them as exercises, creating loops over a drum loop or metronome. Slow down to practice. - Bending: There are some bends that are not precise, just take care of this technique when it appears. - Timing: It's not precise when playing 16th notes and sextuplets. - Vibrato: It's not bad but it tends to be weak. This style requires really strong vibrato. - Staccato: The use of very short notes is part of Santana's style. You are missing many of them. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Tim, this is a cool lesson to work on but as Gabriel said, it's also very hard.
You cope quite well with the lesson, even though it has some fast phrasing in it. You have some work to do but your performance is not so bad either Hand coordination - this is something that needs work because it will hold you back with faster phrases. Perhaps you should add some basic 3 note per string exercises to your routine, to get those fingers locked in with the picking. Try this.. but don't worry about speed. Learn the shapes and repeat it at slow tempos, concentrating only on keep everything even and locked in together. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Linear-Shred-Zone/ The other things Gabriel mentioned are also worthy of effort but this is my main contribution - hand coordination; let's get it really good! |
