tovo learning Streets of London guitar lesson

[tovo]

I've worked on this for quite a while. I don't necessarily think it shows! Anyway, definitely for review and very open to suggestions. Love the tune and would like to play it well. I left the hammer-ons out as I don't quite have the timing right yet in my opinion but I did try to use some of the embellishments suggested by Neil.

I got a couple of words wrong in the lyrics also. No biggie.

Thanks for looking.

Oh P.S. I didn't wear the hat! I wanted to show that I love my big bald head and it loves me!

Tony,

It seems like a long time since we've seen a Student Review vid from you! This was a treat. Solid Travis picking throughout, and if you messed up any words, I sure didn't notice. You kept a good, steady pace, and it's a long song to play and keep regular throughout. This song seems like a good range for your voice, too. Sounded just great. I can see you playing this for groups of people right now.

In general, really nice job. And as much as I love your hats, I love your big, bald head, too, so it was nice to see it making an appearance!

Suzi thanks my friend. You know I just said to a good mate that I hate that period after you upload a video, waiting to get your first feedback and hoping like hell that your effort isn't a total disaster!

I always have and always will appreciate your support...and thanks for liking my big bald noggin (head).

[Craig]

Tony,
Nice job! I thought your picking sounded good on that beautiful guitar of yours. I agree with Suzi in that this songs seems to be right in your vocal range so it sounds nice and unstrained. Good work. Nice to see you again.

Tony,


I couldn't tell you anything you don't already know. This song is presentable to anyone right now, and with a little more practice/polish, its only going to get better. Your Singing and picking together worked very well.

For now, as I said, it's very pleasant and I enjoyed it.

Your big old bald head fits right in too. Don't think you want to loose that eh?

Keep um comin man.

Scott

Hey Craig thanks man. I do feel that it is in my comfortable range, I found it a challenge to play and sing but that's what it's about, challenging myself to get better. I feel that I can take this tune to a new level with some help and of course a heap more practice.

Thanks for you comment Craig, much appreciated.

Scott thanks a lot and you are absolutely spot on. More work to get some further embellishment into it will pay off. Cheers buddy. Oh and good luck bidding on that Taylor!

[MarkM]

Oh gosh Tony, what can I say, I'm réally proud of you, you're doing so well on this travispicking, you really féél it! :cheer:

And singing along, wich you did very well, is just gréat, your voice suits this song really really well!

As for the F-chord, there was something about, but I couldn't put my finger on it immediately, but you kept playing the 5th string instead of the 6th string, wich is actually the only comment I would like to give you, just pay attention to that one, and you got yourself a great song!

So great to see you again, yep with bald head even better!

Tony,

That sounded GREAT. Very relaxed and smooth. I can see an open mic night in your future.

Nice shiny scone too.

Shel

Ness thanks for that very useful comment. I often hit the 5th instead of 6th on an F...no idea why I continue to make that mistake, but I will concentrate on it. Thanks for your supportive comments in general also.

Shel thanks. I'd like to say see you in Sydney on Thur night so I can convince you to buy a Taylor...but we will see. I shined my head this morning just for you.

No chance big fella! I'm remaining true to my sweetheart, Larrivee. But, that doesn't stop me from looking at guitar porn. If I go there will be no MC. It's all for the learning... oh and because I've run out of strings... that's the real reason, obviously.
