WHO IS DOING ''OLD MAN''

[willem]

Hello community! who is doing ''old man'' and wanna share the difficults they have in practice with these???

[AcousticAl]

I am, Willem.

Hardest part for me is getting a good sound while trying to palm-mute the strings at the saddle.

Gotta get the timing you hit them just right and the angle you hit them just right.

Haven't started it yet, but will likely do so today. If I follow my normal pattern, I'll have a video ready in several months.

yeah, the palm/muting very tricky(thats only for the Dm9?) and in time playing must do it(do you use a tic tac?)

I just started this today.

If there was ever a song that proved "it not what you play its the way that you play it" this is it.
Like Al said, getting the muting right is the hard bit

Great vid. Thanks for posting that.

Hmmm.

He plays Neil's G.

[Lavallee]

Willem, thanks for posting the video.

Wrench, good observation about the G chord.

I hate it though when they take a video of a musician and they show mainly his face and or the crowd rather a full size view of him playing (they show a bit but it is obvioulsly not what they want to show).
