He will, Mark! Wait till you see the next one he has in store for us. All I can say about it is… WOW
Hi Anne, the upload limit is very small, as it is only meant for picture sharing. Do you mind uploading to YouTube and sharing a link here?
mheiden, great job Maureen! Here is a video with my feedback.
lyndallk, welcome back Lyndall! That was an absolutely brilliant performance. You’ve already given my feedback, lol! Just a couple spots to touch up, but nothing that a little bit more practice can’t fix. Very good performance, you should be proud of it!
gstriph, wonderful playing Jerry! Rickey is right, very clean! Give the picado technique a shot! It’s a great technique to develop 🙂
Hi guys, the developer is working on the addition to My Favorites 🙂
Also, if you have instagram, please add us @rockclass101 – for sneak peaks of what’s to come! A lot of you asked for more vocal tunes, and we are bringing you a classic backed with a full band jam track!
Awesome job, Maureen! Form looks great on both hands. Watch out for bar 11, as that’s suppose to be Asus4, not Am.
I think your focus moving forward should be on timing. So, I’d take a 2 bar phrase and practice to the click. Start slow, and work at keeping the notes stead, on the beat. You’ll be working to eliminate some of the pauses.
Tackle bars:
1-2
3-4
1-45-6
7-8
5-81-8
That’s a great way to work on it 🙂 And if anyone is new to practicing, check out our extra tips here.
kmelton, well played Kevin! Give the picado technique a shot, it’s a really efficient way to pick. I’m glad you mentioned using this as a warm-up. I’ve been meaning to write a lesson with a few exercises and this was a friendly reminder to actually get around to doing it 🙂
Vida, great job! I really enjoy watching your videos because I continually hear you improve! Here’s one area I will want you to watch out for with that song, and it’s cutting the quarter notes short. In other words, not letting them sustain for their entire length.
So if you look at the sheet music, you can see that most of the hits that are quarter notes are the very last note in the bars. I think it would be a good exercise to sing and count the rhythm out, which I think is what I talked about in a video I made for another member earlier this month. So definitely scroll back and check out that video, but that advice will be really helpful for you too.
zukulele, excellent playing Zion! Great feel, very clean, and a solid tempo. Honestly you kept in time better than I did, bravo! The only critique I have is that the straight rhythm was at a quicker tempo, while the swung rhythm was at a slower tempo. Maybe try to keep an even tempo throughout both sections.
Welcome Miztaken! Thanks for the kind words and enjoy the new learning journey 🙂 I’m here if you need help.
