Moody Blues on a Blue Moon New Years Eve. Replaced the audio and left original video, may not have synchronocity.

Hi Captain... looking forward to this but the video is not loaded properly on YOutube. Did you wait long enough before posting the link here. Or is my browser totally messed up now?!

Captain- I have the same problem with the vid not loading but since both Chris and I are major Moody Blues fans we anxiously await the revised video! :cheer:

Cap,

I was able to load it just fine, but the sound was pretty garbled. What I could hear sounded great. It was interesting to see the chords to a song I've heard so many times, and also interesting that you played along with The Moody Blues.

Dennis,
Sound is pretty garbled from the recording, sorry.

Hi Captain, I think you did very well, you were following the song, so your rhythm is good and so was your fingerpicking. Some work to be done on the chord changing fluidity but overall very nice.

I doubt that the sound issue is because of your processor, otherwise the video would have a problem as well. Have you tried to record yourself without the song playing to see if the garble is still there (maybe the song playing cause a feedback to your guitar recording)?

That looks like a difficult song for the following reasons:

1) multiple barre chords
2) mostly melody notes in the fingerpicking
3) multiple transitions from strumming to fingerpicking

Despite these reasons, it sounds quite good. Yes, there's some work to be done, but a very solid performance that will only improve with time. Enjoyed it.

Captain my Captain.Tuesday afternoon, A great song,By a great Band,And agreat post by you.Happy new year Captain.Thanks Kevin

Through the extraneous noise it sounded good, would like to hear a clean version, i.e, only you playing. Happy New Year to you and good on ya for posting a vid.

Captain!

Nice post, and also a good idea to play along with the original song.

My advice would be to check your strumming. Keep a constant up/down motion- even when you're not connecting with the strings. Neil says this a lot and it's tough to do.

Looking forward to an update!
