    @rebeca – Great playing, Rebeca! One tip, try to keep your thumb planted on that A note so it sustains throughout the first bar.

    Hi everyone!

    This month I went for the “Cascading Blues” Mini-Lesson. In my recording I tried speeding it up the second time I played it, but especially towards the last measures I struggled a bit, so that still need a little practice.

    Thanks for listening, Rafaela 🙂

    @Andrew: Thank you! There’s definitely a lack of sustain there. Very usefull tip. I’ll put it into practise.

    Here’s my entry to the contest, I enjoyed a lot not only learning it but also playing it! The piece I’ve chosen was the Navigating the Fretboard – ML002 I hope you enjoyed it!

    Hello everyone!

    Here is my attempt with “ML001”.
    I added drums from wikiloops “Funk backing track 8933” by Dafunkydrummer (wikiloops public-license). It was too long and fast for me, I shortened it and slowed it down.

    So, here is “Funk Riff”

    Have a nice day!

    @rafaela – I thought you aced it and I loved the second take! Bravo on the tempo and very clean playing!


    @coffeemug
    – Great take, Mary! I have 2 suggestions. Try to keep your thumb planted on that top note throughout the first measure to increase its sustain and I’d also recommend slowing the tempo a little bit. It sounds like you are going at peak speed. And I think if you went a touch slower, it would allow the notes to breathe and sustain more.


    @008-keys
    – Excellent performance, Juan! Great groove!


    @katazumiri
    – That was awesome and the trade-off was a great idea! Loved it!


    @jgillard
    – Bravo on knocking them all out! Very impressive! For this one, I’d recommend practicing slower and focusing on transitioning between the A and B Melody (and B to A) without losing time.

    For sure! 🙂 I’ll definitely post a revised one of this ML004 once I put a bit more time into it! Thanks for watching and the advice to improve. Much appreciated!
