Not a performance Willem, just a bit of practicing. ;)

Indeed, nice work Willem!

Now, you say you're practicing your ass off, I'd actually would like to see hów you practice. You can practice as much as you want, but if you don't do it the right way, it'll be a lot of relatively wasted time.

So, please show me (us)! :)
Thats a nice offer Vanessa,,in the first place I will play along with the Gpro file,the song is'nt that fast so I think that I will not slow down, for the biggest part I do remember how it goes with the chords,,I also have an Idea for play along with the melody(not sure),,okay maybe I will film something while practicing but you know how it goes when the camera is on!!!

thx

Willem

Good work Willem, that's coming along nicely! :)

So, what happens if you practice it without GP or without a metronome, how do you practice then? Could you show me?

Counting out loud is a very good thing to do Willem, especially if you want to get the timing exactly right. You did get it right when playing with GP, so I'm curious how you'll do by yourself. Just as long you don't pause and such, or mess up the timing.

Other than that, anyone should be able to play and count out loud. If you need to learn that, then learn that. It's a 'check it-system' for your playing in time in general and you integrate the timing in your system way better that way.

I have had several students saying the exact same thing, 'I count in my head', then I let them count out loud to find out that they do it completely wrong or they pause the counting.

So yes, play and count out loud! :)

Coming along nicely Willem. Now you only need to play it about 100 million more times before the gig!
