@katazumiri – Well done! Here’s the lesson I referenced in the video feedback below.
@turkgoose – sounds great overall! What I’d work on is playing it slower so you can focus on keeping the tempo steady and getting a lil more clarity in some of the notes/chords that weren’t cleanly hit.
@holly1 – Well done! You’ve got a great feel with this style 🙂 If I have to be really nit-picky, I’d say watch the tempo, as you played the first phrase (quarter note part) slower, BUT kept the rest steady at a quicker tempo. And I’d prob practice the last section (the really busy stuff) a little slower to clean it up a touch. But, again this is me grilling you, LOL. Your feel is killer!!
@samash07 – Try a really slow strum, where it’s almost like an arpeggio. This will let you focus more on hitting the harmonic on the A string. When you get comfortable with the right hand, start to speed it up so it sounds more like a normal strum.
@brettboy – It sounds awesome on that instrument, Brett! The only thing I can suggest is to hammer-on a little harder so that we get a more pronounced tone. Keep up the great work!Robin, you need to use thumb for leverage. For that chord, your thumb should be behind the neck around the 9th or 10th fret – basically offset to the left, so that you avoid the end of the neck hump that attaches it to the body.
@becky7777 – Hope you feel 100% soon, Becky!
@nthibode – Bravo, Nathalie! Well played 🙂
That’s much better, Ray! It’s crazy how much the thumb technique gives it that characteristic sound. Well done!
@nathalie – Well done! It sounds awesome. Keep up the great work 🙂
Hi Emil, I don’t think that’s something we’d create a lesson on. But, it is something Stephen could help you with in a Skype lesson.
@smokealot – Wonderfully played and well phrased! Def gonna share this in our email this week 🙂
For something that high, I’d try this fingering: middle for G, barre with index and ring for A. Should make it easier, but you’re really fighting against the edge of the body/lack of space. A cutaway would make it much easier.
@surfnrz – check this out, Ray.
@annemarie – You can def slow it down 🙂
@andrewvh – Bravo, Andrew – that was well done! What I’ve noticed with this technique is that it’s all about articulation. You’ve definitely got the clarity and feel down in the first half, but when it starts to get more complex in the second half, it becomes a little muddy. So what I would do is slow it down and focus on getting that crisp attack throughout the last half. Keep up the great work!
@marygrace – Looks great to me, Mary Grace! Right hand form looks great and the sound is spot on for this technique. I look forward to watching the next one 🙂
