Great job concentrating and keeping time this class! We created a cool drum pattern to play with Thriller today and we will look to get familiar with the pattern next class!
Nova
We have now fully learnt Cupid and our goal is to record a video next week with myself on accompaniment! If stuck on a tricky rhythm, count out loud and get comfortable with the syncopation!
Aleksander
Great progress on Living on a Prayer! We played through until pre chorus. Practise it under tempo and when you feel more comfortable with the transition, go a little faster and eventually try play it at original speed with the recording.
You also grasp the triplet rhythm nicely, but make sure you play it in time! Give chorus a read, and we will aim to play through that next lesson!
Jonah
The Simpson
The tune is very very tricky and Jonah you did a great job nailing the notes! You also showed great understanding on how to practise tricky licks through repetition and practising step by step BUT you need to have the dedication to do it at home as well! In order to do your best on your performance coming up, try to familiar yourself with many of those licks as possible, and always remember to count!
Jared
Bring Me To Life
Bar 24 and 25 have been your nemesis of late! BUT you are closer than you think! The third and fourth beat of bar 24 and first two beats of bar 25 are super similar, which is the reason why you have been confusing them. Subdivide! Practise the RIGHT pattern, repeat! We will aim to go on next week, and play till bar 45.
Mario
Warm Up with triplet and 16th notes exercise, go for evenness and relaxation!!!
Great great progress on My Friend as we played through first page. We are now at 65 bpm right now and original speed is at 84. When possible practise with metronome at home and crank up the speed when you feel comfortable! We will read through till Guitar Solo next week!
