@shmu88 – Bravo! That was amazing!
@lisamcc – Great playing, Lisa! So one tip, try tapping along and/or counting with the count-in. That’ll help you lock in those pick up notes in time. Also, I want you to slow the tempo down and work on the picado technique. It’s hard at first, but when you get it down, it makes playing much more efficient 🙂
@lbilkie – Playing sounds great! Keep working on the tricky parts in the B Melody and watch out for speeding up. Keep up the good work!
@laurakarr12 – Great playing! Great job on the pace and feel 🙂
@bibilele – Beautifully played! Keep up the great work!@henri0 – So it’s got a real light swing feel. Try playing along with Evan in the tab player. That should help you match the feel.
@joelnal – Here’s my feedback for you 🙂
@myukemylife – Here’s my feedback for you 🙂
@melanieh – Beautifully played! Well done, Melanie!@zongozongo – Playing sounds great, but I’d recommend slowing the tempo a little bit. IMO, this is one of those songs where the music breathes and flows better at a slower pace.
@janaq1 – Beautifully played, well done!
@clempek – Sounds great! Keep up the good work 🙂
@morrieuke1 – That was so awesome! Def gonna share it on our social media this week 🙂
@katazumiri – Bravo! Amazing playing all around. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be at 100% in no time!!@bomarkt – Sounding good! 🙂
@lyndallk – Beautifully played with great feel throughout. Well done, Lyndall!
@concan – Your form and chord transitions look excellent. Playing sounds great, too! Well done and thank you for the kind words 🙂
@mark1256 – Excellent playing, Mark! This is one of the best performances I’ve heard from you! Great job and keep up the good work!@rafaela – Beautifully played, bravo!
@coffeemug – Excellent playing! For rubato, check out the video I left 2 posts above for @felixhchan. It’s got tips on how to use it for this song 🙂misterbones – Bravo, Michael! This is one of the best performances I’ve heard from you. And it’s impressive because you said you don’t play along with others that often, but when I listened to your performance there’s times where you’re so locked in with the band that it’s truly amazing. Like the ending of the 3rd song’s chorus going into the next verse at 2:30. Killer!
So here are my thoughts moving forward: Keep working on the rhythm for the fourth song. Work through it with me in the lesson, because I deep dive into it in great detail. And for the first song, slow the tempo down a little bit. See if you can get locked in a little tighter.
But again, round of applause! Brilliant job this month!
biancak – Excellent playing! Duet sounds beautiful 🙂
ccwuke – Beautiful playing! Great work, Chris 🙂
effortless – I thought your performance sounded great! Sometimes with dynamics, less is more. For example, your vibrato gave the piece a nice touch 🙂
gstriph – Excellent performance this month, Jerry! My only suggestion is to memorize it. That should help you smooth out some of the tougher chord transitions in the B Melody. But overall, this was one of the strongest performances I’ve heard from you this year. Keep up the great work!
felixhchan – Excellent take! I really like how your B melody had a unique theme. By adding a fermata at the end of every second bar, you added your own touch to the music 🙂
Now I know a lot of folks read through my feedback, so I’m going to leave a video below for those who may not be aware of how to create a theme within a performance. The video covers a different song, but you can use the suggestions on rubato for this song as well 🙂
@planetfink – That’s so awesome! 🙂
@bomarkt – Great job! What I’d suggest working on is timing. Try looping one measure along to a click. When you can play it perfectly in time, try the next measure. Then go back and practice both to the click.And double check Theme 2. Sounds like you omitted a couple measures.
@planetfink – Beautiful playing and excellent use of rubato, Kathy 🙂
@debb1985 – Great idea! Really adds a lot of depth to the piece. And your performance was bellissimo 🙂
