International Guitar Camp 2013 - Open Mic Night - Tom Performs Sounds of Silence

[neverfoundthetime]

Nice job Tom! Nothing is more terrifying than facing an audience with a guitar in your hands and all those expectations, yours and theirs! Still, best possible crowd to face :cheer: .

I've watched your excellent video several times now.
You look and sound quite comfortable with it, more so as you get into the song.

When learning the song, what works for you when putting the vocals to the guitar playing ?

Dermot

I listen to the original Dermot, over and over. I also find the more you practice the song the easier the words seem to slot into place.
It is sometimes useful to write out the words and put the chord boxes where they should change, for a guide. Eventually you don't need them any more.

Learn how to play the tune before you sing it, or introduce the singing once you are comfortable playing it is what I mean.

That was great, Tom.
You nailed the rhythm and chords and the signing was awesome. Good work.
Look forward to meeting you at this year's IGC.

Thanks Bill, that's praise indeed.

I'm not signed up for the IGC this year Bill as I am taking my wife on a special trip for our 30th anniversary a little before it.

In all honesty I haven't completely ruled out going to the IGC this year yet. Anyway, you will meet some great people there,
you will be well looked after and you will have a brilliant time. I would recommend doing the open mic night as it is a great experience, even if you are feeling apprehensive.

Tom,

Very nice performance! One of my favorite songs - well liked by all based on the sing along. I'm looking forward to seeing you perform again this year.
