Melodic Death Metal , Lesson By Toni Suominen |
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.

I tried to play as clean as possible, but for now this is my limit. |

Hi again mate!
This is the most demanding lesson from the ones that you've shared recently at REC. I have to say that even being the one that needs more work, you are not far at all mate. The lesson has obvious parts that need improvement, mostly regarding cleanness and timing, but you've mastered a big parts of these fast riffs mate! Well done. I recommend you to work on smaller sections, and adjust each of the riffs until you work on connecting everything again. Remember to dedicate some time to manage dynamics as well. Keep on the hard work!! -------------------- My lessons

Overall you really dig in to this and seem to be have a great time playing it which makes is a very fun listening experience!! That's a big part of performance. "Playing it like you mean it!" In terms of technique, one thing is jumping out at me. I see that you are sitting side sadle, instead of in classical position. This is of course, your call. There is no one single "right way". As a result of your sit, it looks like your right hand is drifting up towards the top of the bridge. This means that the left hand has to do the muting on the higher strings as the picking hand is really only muting the lower strings. Again, there is no one correct way. However, you might try to do it with a more centered picking hand. E.G. Place your palm on the bridge so that you can play the low E and the high E withou lifting your hand and keep your mute on both strings. Some folks can do this side sadle, some need to switch to classical position. The advantage this gives you is that you can play things that require all of the strings. It doesn't require your left hand to do half of the muting. Still, some folks just find it impossible to play like this. So I"m not saying switch your entire technique, just suggesting something to try. It can give you much more control over your dynamics and your muting. You seem to be doing pretty well without it, but I think you could push to the next level if you switched things up just a pinch!!

I was carefully listening through the beginning it it was going really nice. Around 0:33 things start to be a little messy. Notes are not clear enough for my taste even considering I understand the amount of gain being used. Also the case of tuning/intonation comes back again. Don't trust your open strings only. Guitar is a nasty instrument. It takes some time - temperature stabilization, string stretching and rechecking on frets to make the guitar sound truly in tune. Don't underrate it! |
