This song is HARD, plus I tried the insane thing of playing the lead that Neil teaches in the lesson.
No, I did not use a metronome like I should.
Used a Dmaj7 up the neck a couple of times.
I think I need to let the open E ring out more for the G6 chord but over all I am happy to be able to put all these pieces together, its not perfect, but progress is being made. You should have heard this a year ago!! Ouch.
A hard one indeed. And you're tackling the lead too. I have been trying this but I have been alternating between the "easier" G6. Just the open G without the high G pinky and the one you're using.
Matt, you are getting there, not an easy one as you said but you have all the pieces, I really like your strumming, and I can hear your voice in the background singing. Is it a sign to come?
Aint that the truth Matt! I hear you on this one. it is one of my absolute favourites, what a feel this song has to it!
You are doing an heroic job so far, that's for sure. I really like the strumming and how its developing and I'm sure Neil is going to say, use the 'nome and slow it down but you are getting there. The riff may need some attention and there may be a stroke or two missing a couple of times (I'd have to have guitar in hand to explain it) but I really hope Neil answers this great work.
Slowing things down is one of my current goals as far as a metronome well....... I have been a bad boy.
As far as singing, I do not have a great voice but I do understand how important that it is for some songs to at least try!!!!
The good news is that I am starting to hear the singing in my head as I play more and more. It is interesting how the singing "floats" around the measures of strumming if you know what I mean.
Yup go for the nome mate... I used to hate it but its my friend now.. Strumming is going well but speeds up and down, hence the nome comment. The hammer on in the intro are not easy I actually picked up my Geetar to try them out and had a few issue to begin with, its all about a piece at a time and go slowly. You have all the pieces that's self evident , now take your time and go for it mate. This is a 5 level song after all and not easy.
Sorry I'm so late in getting to this! This song is another one that i've had on my to-do list since I started playing. But for a level 5, it's surprisingly hard!! That intro is incredibly tricky and I just haven't had the patience to persist at it.
You've had lots of good comments already, so I'll just add some words of encouragement regarding singing. Very few of us here at TG have "good" voices. Most of us are here because we want to learn to play guitar, not because we are singers. But with a lot of the songs here, they're just more fun to watch when someone adds the vocals. If you feel at all compelled to sing, I'd really encourage you to give it a go. You're among about the most supportive people anywhere on the internet. No one here will be anything but kind and encouraging. And who knows? Maybe you'll surprise yourself and find you sing better than you think!
