Sounds to me that you are rushing on this one and trying to cram too much in..

I thought this was well done Larry, I’d consider this a fairly advanced piece and you kept the timing pretty tight throughout. Good job overall.

to cool

Gosh, Larry that is some wicked tempo and you are so close. I thought your tone and your right hand were great but the left hand is hard to execute at that tempo for anybody. Good job on this. I’d settle for the slower tempo on this and come back to it later. Thanks for sharing and bringing my attention to a cool lesson.

SF, that is very tough lesson from what I’m hearing! I give you more credit than you do! lol.. you have the mechanics,, best just slow it down and think more feel,, but you need a slower jamtrack/tempo.. you were chasing the beat..best way to beat that is give yourself more time to get those likes flowing more ,,like bruce lee said.. flow like the water! lol really great job with a tough lesson.. i bet you come back to that after moving on a few lessons, you’ll feel it more with the tempo. great accomplishment with a lot of notes!! cheers!

I wish I could learn this much in 3-4 days. it takes be a lot longer
great Job!

Maybe it´ s too fast for beginning. Sound is great!

Your close . It will come

Hi Larry, some great playing on a smokin fast lesson! Lost the fluidness on some of the runs but you got it back on track. The mix with guitar and backing track is excellent.

Oh my God, Larry, very very cool. An incredible speed. Great played. I really liked it.

Flying fingers, wow! This is the type of lesson (one of my favorites) that literally could take years to perfect at that tempo. I can’t fault you for moving on but I bet if you periodically come back to it, you’ll find your chops will have improved and you’ll be getting closer to nailing those runs.

Hi Larry i think you have done really well with this but there is no doubt that the tempo is right up there and if you dropped back a bit and picked up the accuracy that comes with a slower rendition you would improve it and then the tempo should come up. Do give it a go because you have what it takes to get there already its just a bit of slowing up for starters to put the accuracy in, in my view and others point out. I couldn’t get any where near it at the moment!!! well played JohnStrat

Hey Larry wow thats one fast piece and you nailed it for me. The rythmn is on the money and speed of runs is something else that pushed you to the finger limit. Probably one thought perhaps drop couple of notes if it would have given you more control. But I like your Larry attack and no prisoners!
Cheers Bri

Excellent Larry !!really enjoyed this as already mentioned if just take that tempo down a bit. you will feel and hear the benefit for yourself when you get back up to speed,
Great playing and well done!!
Barry

Hi Larry sorry for delayed comment
This tempo is simply tremendous ..repost it just as you played but a little bit slower and it will be perfect
Overall it was a great job

Hey Larry, that was really great!

I’ll be interested in seeing if anyone else has something concrete to offer about what seems like the diminished returns of practicing for a month compared to how you sound and feel after a few days (these posts fly by so fast, there’s seldom time to hear from all that many people on any given song, or to go in-depth on a question; if Ale hadn’t just commented, I might have missed your post). Sometimes when first learning a song, there’s the feeling of intensity that comes with the freshness, the exhilaration of ripping over a new path; after a month it doesn’t feel that exciting. But then, longer I live with a song, playing it occasionally to maintain a memory of it, then getting back into it, that excitement sometimes comes back, and there are a lot of details you can add if you want to lift ideas other people’s versions—or work them out yourself.

Something you said about learning more songs quicker is something I’m always resisting; there are so many songs I want to be able to play, it’s sometimes tempting to skip from one to the next, but one thing I told myself, and it’s something that makes me feel good about my music, is that I want to learn the songs I know in real depth rather than learning the melodies to a hundred songs. It probably adds up to the same thing, but I’d rather be able to creatively play one song for 20 minutes than to play 5 different songs during that same time (to have the material to do so, not that I would play everything in a single 20-minute performance).

Personally, I have found that dedicating myself to really learning the ins and outs of one particular song helps me more efficiently tackle the next project I move on to. Of course I also have the same problem of too many songs I want to learn all at once… I think from my perspective, because I like to learn and record all of the parts of a song (creating a realistic drum track and then recording rhythm parts, bass parts, lead, vocals), I can narrow it down to a handful of possibilities, making it more likely I will come to a satisfying result. I’ve always considered myself respectable when it comes to hearing and isolating the different parts of a song and the more I’m able to recreate this, the better my overall playing ability seems to have gotten.

By identifying these likely candidates, I am plenty motivated to learn the parts to the best of my ability and I will stick with it until I feel I’ve replicated it to the best of my ability before I’ll consider seriously moving on to another subject (I may tinker with another song but usually in the sense of mentally filing away any epiphanies for future use). Not sure if this was the feedback you were looking for, Don…
