Well here is my take on trying the Bass run from the G to the C in Still the same. I did much better when the camera was off. :laugh: And I didn't quite finish the song :( . I did throw in a different change in the chorus from the G to the C. G G7 G6 back to G. Hope you can tell.


Thanks
Bob

Hi Bob

Lots of improvement there. Not just the bass run, but the general strumming seemed a lot lighter. Good going. And the F chords don't seem to catch by surprise so much. :)

I agree with Reiver Bob, much more interesting with the bass runs but much better job overall as well. Good stuff.

The bass run sounds great, and the song overall sounds better. Thanks for posting the followup vid. I love seeing the followups. How do you like that Alvarez?

Nice improvement Bob, the strumming is more natural. If anything I would suggest to put more emphasis on the chords using the big strings, like G and E similar to when you use the F chord which is perfect as you emphasize the big string. When you use the G and E we hear more of the small strings than the big strings keeping the song in a similar tonality. If you listen to the F chord, you will notice that you hit mainly the big strings giving a deeper sound changing the tonality which is good.

Glad you you did that second take.

Nice work, Bob!

Strumming and chords look natural and easy for you. I also like the way you do the base run as well-- keeping your low G fretted while you do the base run down the D string with your middle finger. That lets you play all six strings. The way I was doing it, I could only play the top 4 strings.

r,tovo,jay,marc,al - thanks for the positive feedback. I wanted to post another song but I am not too good at the youtube to TG thing yet. Seems to take me forever.

My next post Won't be this song. :laugh:

Jay, I meant to say I really like the Alvarez. The only thing is I wish it was a cutaway.

Time to call it a night.

Bob,

Nicely done. Bass run sounds very good and you've got a solid strum pattern going. Tempo is great as well. I've been messing around with this song here and there since Neil put it out. I havn't incorporated the bass run yet but may give it a try soon as you make it sound much more interesting. Guitar sounds nice and full as well.

Bob,

Wow, I really liked this a lot! The bass run sounds great; adds a lot of flavor to the song and you handled it very nicely- totally smooth. I also really liked the change you did to the chorus. I think I might like it better than what's in Neil's TAB.

My first guitar was an Alvarez. It has a really nice, full sound for a guitar that was not that expensive.
