ajk101 – Well done! Playing sounds great, only thing I’d say is that there’s a section in the B Melody that was a tiny bit rushed. So just work on timing in that part. And keep up the great work!
Also, bring down the level that you’re recording at. It’s sounding a bit like it’s clipping (at/above the max).
ldarrow – Sounds great, Linda! Love to see when you guys challenge yourself 🙂
Nothing to really critique. Keep practicing and keep up the good work!
gstriph – Playing sounds great, Jerry! To answer your question, I’d play along with the bass track with the metronome on throughout. Tap your foot as you go along and try to focus more so on the click than what the bass is doing. I’ll email you this play-along track 🙂
biancak – I love the contrasting feels. Great idea and great playing!
kdeacon7 – excellent first challenge post! Playing sounds great! Here’s one tip for working on timing. Switch the tab player into synthetic mode and activate the metronome. Take one section at a time and loop it. Slow it down to whatever speed you need and try to tap your foot along as you go. Repeat for the next section (ignoring the ritardando). And when you feel comfortable with that, start to gradually boost the tempo.
rafaela – Beautiful playing. Very impressive!
brettboy – Killer groove, so much fun to watch! Great job, Brett 🙂
lynnzo – Beautifully played, Lynn! Keep up the great work 🙂
joe150 – Bravo, Joe! This is the best performance I’ve heard from you to date. Keep up the excellent work!
kidelozzi – Here’s my feedback for you 🙂
lyndallk – Beautifully played with great feeling and interpretation.
marygrace – I did see your note for me on this forum post, and it was my pleasure! You played it beautifully and I was honored to share it 🙂
jbmills07 – I love how you added a stronger feel for the C Melody. Doing that really breathes life and emotion into these performances. Overall it was excellent, the only thing I’d suggest is to use the middle (4th string) and ring (2nd string) to grab the Gm/C7. That’ll make the switch back and forth to F easier. Keep up the excellent work, Justin!

moonshine – great job! There were a few notes that you held out a little bit longer than what’s notated in the music. Therefore, I’d recommend playing along with Stephen and I in the tab player. That’ll help smooth out any timing issues.
And don’t be afraid to give the picado technique a shot 🙂
shmu88 – it was amazing Sam! I was honored to share it in our newsletter 🙂
P.S. Don’t forget to add the premium member tag to your next challenge post.
peiching – Thank you for the kind words and your performance was beautiful. Check out our harmonics course for help with that technique.
tim0721 – Here’s my feedback for you 🙂
casadot349 – Bravo, that was amazing! The biggest tip I can give you is to work on timing. And one of the best ways to work on that is to play along with the tab player. Evan’s playing will act as a guide to help keep you in check. And try to tap your foot along and sway to the groove of the band as you play. That’s another good way to feel the beat.
katazumiri – That was amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing and slowly push yourself to build the speed. Keep up the great work!
@cararozy – You’re good! Look forward to watching it 🙂
Friendly Reminder – The deadline for receiving feedback and an entry into the giveaway is tonight at 11:59 PM EST (check your local time zone).

Hi Toni, jump into this lesson. It explains rhythms and there’s 11 exercises that you can practice with.
When I taught private lessons, my students had the most success with timing by learning to read music. I’d recommend checking out our course 🙂
Welcome, Gerald! Happy to have you on-board.
Please add that tune to our request list. We do vote-offs from that list every few months 🙂
@simonalexander – Beautifully played and the chords were a nice touch 🙂
@june2020 – lovely playing, June!@terryfallon3 – great job, Terry! So I’m hearing a bit of staccato throughout this tune. Try to keep finger pressure held down for the entire note(s) duration. That should give you more sustain.
@barbecueblack – Bravo!! Very impressive playing 🙂
@ccwuke – great job, Chris! Sounds like the bass was a little behind at times. So that’s where my focus would be as you continue to practice. But overall it was really solid! Keep up the great work!
@leslieb – beautiful performance! Memorization is always best as you can put your full focus into the performance. Great job on rising to the challenge!!
@dividedsky – Excellent performance with great feel!
@jlbross – Timing sounds great, Jennifer! Keep practicing to build speed. Would love to hear it at 100% speed 🙂Welcome, @kmoore925x! Glad you found us and thank you for the kind words 🙂
If you ever need help with the lessons, please don’t hesitate to ask. I look forward to watching your performance for this month’s challenge.
