Here’s everyone on page 5.
@rgillof – Timing was spot on Rich, great groove too!
@hiouke – Your performance sounded great! I did notice a slight break in the tempo when you play the ghost notes and rasgueado. It’s tough to pinpoint the exact cause just from audio, but if you’re able to share a short video of those two techniques, I’d be happy to take a look and offer any advice I can. 🙂
@richard_siegert – Great job on the chord melody Richard! The only thing I’d work on from here is eliminating the pauses in transitions. Try playing along with Evan in the tab player. Start with 8 bar sections before trying the entire piece.
Duet was perfect! Excellent timing and great strumming tone!
@johanna2509 – That piece sounds really nice on low G and I love how laidback you played it! Excellent job on all 5 patterns.
@leslieb – That cough sounds brutal, hope you are feeling better Leslie!
Nice lead playing! The thing I’d work on first is making sure you understand the rhythm of the licks you’re playing. Try counting and tapping your foot along like this:
Once you feel comfortable with this, then try putting it onto the instrument.
@coffeemug – The first one sounds great! You’re doing well on the other two too, but for those, I would recommend practicing with a click or the tab player. That’ll help you get it locked in (timing wise) and eliminate pauses.
@bibilele – Aced it! Great timing, feel, and groove!
@henri0 – Wow! That was amazing and it felt like I was sitting in a jazz club! Bravo Rhian!
@xerxes – The first 3 patterns were spot on in terms of timing and feel, well done! For the ghost note, it looks like you are plucking it with your thumb. Kinda like you would do in traditional fingerpicking technique. Instead, try to come down keeping the motion of the strum. I filmed this video to explain this better:
@janaq1 – Groovy Jana! I think you’ve got a great base established. I would work on two things moving forward: cleaning up unwanted string noise and timing (keeping it steady). Both will come naturally with a bit more practice b/c you’re a really good player!
@cimarronsailor – Your timing was great, in my opinion! Nothing fell apart, and I never heard you drift beyond an acceptable measure. If you’re feeling any frustration, it’s probably due to the slower tempo. It can be tough to feel the beat at that pace. As you continue practicing this tune, I’d suggest gradually boosting the tempo.
A tool like Transcribe can really help. It lets you adjust the tempo in small increments so you can build up at a pace that feels natural.
