Hi again. Wow, another hard lesson from Guido! This one is a test, for sure.
I think you handle it very well here but of course we're going to hand you some tips to improve, as always
The main thing for me is that you need to tie the phrases together better. What do I mean? I mean that there are many pauses separating bends from notes that follow, things like that. I know why it occurs. It occurs because you 're using your finger to do one job and then you need time to get it to the next position. So these audible gaps occur.
The challenge to making phrasing smooth is reducing these gaps and, in many cases, eliminating them completely. Sometimes it can be caused by the finger positioning we use. If you're performing a bend on one finger, check to see if the next phrase can be played with a different finger. Maybe not. But take a look to see if Guido's using a different finger combination in any of the phrases.
The main thing, though, is familiarity and time, time, time! It takes time to reduce these pauses in our playing. It's like when we first learn chords. We always had to stop and think before we could play the next one!
After a while, though, it became more naturally and the chord changes are seamless. It's the same with this kind of phrasing.
So, to sum it up, you're doing everything right - just do more of it!
