@leb397 – Loved y’all’s duet! I’m gonna share it in our newsletter this week 🙂
Friendly Reminder – The deadline for receiving an entry into the giveaway is tonight at 11:59 PM ET (check your local time zone).
@ccwuke – You nailed the duet Chris! The only thing I’d change is to end the harmony on C too 🙂
@annyuke – Very well played! Great feel, rhythm, and chunks! The only thing I’d focus on is getting more consistency with making the melody come through crystal clear each time. For ex, listen to the 4 melody notes in your performance at 35 seconds vs. at 6 seconds. You can hear how you nailed that section the last time more so than the first.
@brettboy – Aced it! 👏
@katazumiri – I think you played it exceptionally clean! Keep working on increasing the tempo and keep up the great work! 🙂@carynjoy – Here are 2 tips to help with chord transitions 🙂
@jdouglas – Great fingerpicking and tone, James! For the Travis picking pattern, I’m hearing you play the rhythm as what’s shown in measure 1 here, instead of what’s used in the song (shown in measure 2):
You can see that you’ve swapped the quarter note hit to beat 4, when it should occur on beat 1. Nothing wrong with doing this, as long as you realize the change happened.
@jedart – The way you’re doing the chuck is the traditional way, as opposed to the slap/pluck method used in the lesson. Both work, and it’s really just an optional choice as to which you prefer to use. Playing sounds great, I’d say you aced it!@anyon1 – Excellent job on each technique, pattern, and groove Adriana 👏
Hi Ron, glad to hear you enjoyed this lesson! I think of it too as Kimo’s technique, but Matt said it’s not exactly what he uses.
I’m not sure if Jake’s lesson material includes this. Maybe you can reach out to him or someone on his team, as they may be able to answer that question.
@brettboy – I had so much fun writing this piece, and I’m glad to hear it’s equally as fun to play! It’s very influenced by the tune, Jack & Diane, another fun one to play 🙂
Great groove Brett!
@lhamilton – Very nicely played Linda! Every harmonic rings cleanly and beautifully. The only thing I’d work on is playing the hits that mix regular notes + harmonics a little faster so they sound more arpeggiated. In your video, for ex, that would be the hit at 23 and 25 seconds.
@cyman_t – Performance sounded great! With these techniques, it’s easy to speed up while playing them rather than maintaining a steady tempo. I hear them played a little fast in spots, for ex, the slide at 18 seconds in your performance. Try playing along to a click and listening/watching out for rushing.@otzepeng – Love the intro and the video, and of course, excellent playing! What an awesome start to our September challenge 🙂
