Dear Neil, why am I so lazy when I have to change left chord?

Sometime I feel very difficult to do

to have any chance of a reply from Neil , you need to get this video up into the student channel ..

cheers Matt

nice effort by the way

what part of Italy r u from

Hey Sergio,

I'm going to offer a couple of things, if you don't know how to upload to the student channel, look here:

I think that you need to look at the quality of your sound. At least at my end there was a horrible hissing and static that made it hard to listen. Perhaps check that out before posting to the student channel.

In terms of tips I just think you need more practice with the song before you try to sing it. If you are still looking for the chord there's no way you can sing along smoothly. Personally I see nothing wrong with practicing both together, but you need to know the song really well in terms of playing it before the singing will come together. There are lots of barre chords in this tune, perhaps try singing to a song with open chords first and see how you go before moving to a more difficult number.

Cheers mate.

Hey Serg, how's it going? Matt and Tony have given you the advice to upload the video to the students channel on youtube and how you can do that. In the meantime I'll make a few comments here.

Your voice and singing of Tin man is really good. Perfect song for you! You have got all the chords down fine. What you need to do is find a nice strumming rhythm or pattern where you keep the right hand going all the time up and down. That will give you the background for your singing. You'll need to practice that without singing or you'll find yourself strumming in the same phrasing you are singing... which is what you are doing at the moment. Does that make sense to you?
Greetings from across the border!

I love this song. I'm going to have to look through the stacks of tab books I have and see if I can find this one.

Tovo and Neverfoundthetime gave great comments


Thanks for posting





Mike

I agree. Practice without singing until you can play it without thought. Then sing along. Your singing is making you lose the timing.

Thanks Matt, I live in Brescia, nearly between Iseo lake and Garda lake, in the north of Italy.

Ciao Tovo, nice the words from Hotel California!

Thanks a lot for your advice.

Sergio

Thanks a lot for your kind advices, and all it' just because a like to sing so much (I just have a troath ache!) and my voice is nearly the same as the singer Dan Peek, but not so perfect!

Thanks a lot Mike, it could be a very good idea about tab books.
