@annefgodfrey – asked about triplet picking and strumming in FP Etude 10.
Lesson on 8th Note Triplet Rhythm
Jake’s lesson on triplet strum

deadbuggy – so I watched your video before reading what you wrote. One thing you wrote about, was going to be what I was going to comment on, which is left hand reach. I’m sure you’ve seen it, but this lesson will help. But the big thing about it, is that you need to continually do the exercises over months – at least 3 months before seeing any improvement.
The other thing I wanted to point out is that sometimes your rhythm blurs. Make sure that you don’t rush parts into each other. Overall you did a great job!

Here is everyone on page 11.
nthibode – Interesting what you wrote… Chopsticks was the better performance. The feel was effortless, just as I remember on your Christmas tune. Not that Etude 13 was bad, it wasn’t. But notice how your feel isn’t as relaxed. That’s what I’d work on for 13.
curlyuke – Great job, this feedback will be for the exercise. Note clarity sounds fine, but the big then you want to work on is timing, as you started fast and then slowed down. Definitely practice this exercise with a metronome or the on-screen tab viewer.
stinyuke – This feedback is for Canon. The big thing with this song is sustain, which you absolutely nailed. One thing to watch out for happened at about a minute in. You flubbed a note, then played it again, in essence restarting the phrase. Always play through your mistakes, never restart. This is great practice especially if you ever play in an ensemble.
miztaken – Here is a video with some feedback for you.
robinboyd – Well you laid out everything I would have mentioned in points 1 and 2, LOL. That was seriously cool though, and I dig the fingerpicking pattern. I don’t think I can offer any advice for memorizing lyrics, I basically know the words to happy birthday and that’s it 😀
tiff27 – What’s a cute song, is it from Steven Universe? You did really well, that was fun to listen to! The sections that tripped you up, target your practice on them. Follow the three steps laid out in our practice guide for those sections and you’ll get it down in no time 🙂
@nthibode not yet. Want to finish leaving feedback first. Gonna try and work on it tonight or tomorrow.
I’d work on 2 things:
2) the song – just the notes/chords. But go section by section, as outlined in our practice guide.
You really want to understand the rhythm of what you are playing, that will help you feel when the tap happens, which is on beat 2 and 4.
Hi guys! Sorry to be MIA – since returning from NAMM, I’ve been bed ridden with the flu. It’s been a blast (not). So Stephen will get us started on feedback soon.
FYI: I’m seeing 18 second posts submitted (with 40 members participating on this thread – so a bit under half are in), to be entered into the Skype drawing and to receive feedback, you must submit your second post by 11:59pm EST tonight. This year we are adhering to strict cut-offs.
Yes, Becky. Check out the 2nd video in LP and jump 12 min into it: https://rockclass101.com/learning-paths/
Stephen, Katie and I are seeing Cynthia Lin’s show Thur night in LA if anyone’s interested in going: https://www.facebook.com/events/1258112107684854/. 🙂
Releasing this one early, since it’s tied to our Reading Course 🙂
LOL, I don’t think I can help you there! But the good news is the majority of our lessons have videos 🙂
Unfortunately, seems there is no fix:
“Usually when this problem happens, that is indeed the case — audio works fine with video, just not with the synth player, and flipping the little side switch fixes it.
I’m not sure what else it would be, to be honest. Apple does some weird things with audio in web pages…!”
I’d suggest using a different device for the synthetic player. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This was his response:
“This trips up a lot of people! Have them make sure their ringer/volume switch is turned on. It’s the binary switch on the side of the iPad. I’m 99% sure that’s the issue.”
Sounds like there isn’t a bug – but if this isn’t the case, please let me know and I can send to him to further troubleshoot.
