Chet Atkins Vincent by tacticaltal
Terry you have gotten the advice you asked for from the people best placed to give it. At this point then, the best I can offer is my wholehearted support for you. Keep working mate and I look forward to seeing the result of your continued application. Certainly a very beautiful and moving song.

Hey Tony, thanks for dropping in and having a listen. Now that I've gotten it uploaded, I can lay back a bit and work on it without rushing.
Thanks for the encouragement.

Tom makes excellent points Terry, indeed play WITHOUT any pauses. If you don't know what to play, make sure that you do first, like suggested before, take it into little chunks. Play IN TIME, like when you would strum as Tom pointed out, or imagine someone playing along with you, you can't stop right?! When you need to pause for whatever reason, it means you don't have that particular spot down just yet, so you need to practice it until you do. Remember, your brain and fingers will remember everything you do, so when you play/practice it the 'wrong way', that is wíth pauses, it WILL remember and think it's how it should be, so please DON'T!
Hi Terry, good work in progress. It will be easier when the song will be completely memorized and you do not have to look at the sheet as this is where I think your paused are coming from.
The benefit of using guitar pro is that you could set it up at 25 % of the original speed and you could be playing along (once it is completely memorized). Then you will know you will be in time, then move to 50%- 75% and then full speed.
Great to post early in the song and ask for advice.

Exactly! Playing with pauses over and over there is little chance of it suddenly being played without pauses ever. You have to practice without pauses, in time, as slow as it takes. All measures have to play smoothly into each other, always.Tom makes excellent points Terry, indeed play WITHOUT any pauses.

Hey Willem, sorry for the late reply, I didn't see it.
I checked out the free demo version, and it is limited in what you can do. For example, you can use only the samples that comes with it, and you can't upload or import anything else, so it's pretty useless for Vincent, since there's no GP5 or GP6 on TG. AND, even if I did have the full version, I wouldn't be able to do anything with Vincent from the .pdf that I have.
I did download TuxGuitar, and it works okay if you can get certain file formats, like midi, Pro Tab, etc. It will not allow me to upload a pdf tab.
Guess I'll just have to do for now the old fashioned way
Thanks for trying, buddy.
