I actually didn’t get to re-watch @simonalexander ‘s performance again until just now. Wow, indeed. Good gracious, that was perfection. Maybe if I quit my job I could learn that in a month, LOL. But I’m still going to try and see what happens. 😊
@the_bumble_bard way to go!!! That sounds great and how quickly you posted. I might change “mytune”… we’ll see.
Good job!!!@leb397, thank you so much, friend!! 😊💕 Haha nice, which one did you say you were thinking of doing?
I realized I was playing SSS way slower than I thought. I listened to Matt’s play through again and then realized how much faster he played it. Whoops, that was not on purpose. It’s Spooky, Scary, Sluggish Skeletons. 😂😅😂
@otzepeng – Brilliant playing Markus! I’m gonna share it today on our social media 🙂
@The_Bumble_Bard – Your change for the B melody was beautiful Rachael. Well done and so fast! Very impressive!@Andrew, thank you so much! It always means a lot when you like those kind of changes, because I’m not always sure if they work. 😅 The first chord of the B Melody in SSS is a chord from Steven’s Spanish Romance and so it made me think to play it more with that fingerpicking style. 😊 Thank you, I was surprised I was able to learn it that fast, but I’m determined to tackle T + F. 😅
@Andrew, thanks for your friendly word’s and also for sharing. I never had a facebook account or will have one, but definitly i feel a bit honored ☺️.
@The_Bumble_Bard, after watching your video i must say, that i’m in the mood to learn this tune also. It’s always a nice experience to quickly learn a song and just shows how you can feel it. In my opinion the “right” tempo is of secondary importance as long as the timing and feeling are right.@otzepeng I’m working on Blue Moon also…..thanks for the inspiration…….just loved the way it flowed…..great job!
@The_Bumble_Bard ……..ooooooooooh that was spookily-scarily great! Good luck with the Tocatta and Fugue…….I would love to chomp into that, but I agree it would take me several months before I felt ready to record…….but I love it!@willw18 – Really well played, Will! My only suggestion would be to practice with a metronome to tighten up the timing.
@deadbuggy – Excellent feel Sara! Nicely played 🙂That’s a terrific @simonalexander
@otzepeng, I guess that’s really true, that feel is more important than speed. I think overall I tend to play more slowly so that’s probably why that happened. The song is 100% fun to play. I think I learned it quickly because I’m pretty familiar with Matt’s style of arrangements because I think I’ve learned his songs the most and also have talked to him a lot in lessons about how he creates songs. Anyway, it’s a really fun one and I loved your take on Blue Moon! 😊
@dianna, haha, thank you, I hoped to capture both the spooks and scares of that one! 😂😅 Ha, very true about Toccata and Fugue, but don’t worry… I’ll definitely learn the whole thing and be able to play it at Andrew’s level in a month’s time! 😉😅😂🥺🤐😶 Oh but I do have a little surprise of sorts of how I’m going to play it which might be amusing. However much I learn this month I’ll share that. 😅😊
@deadbuggy, so beautiful and fun, you captured the spirit of that song so perfectly! 😊
@deflygirl, really awesome take on that one, such an iconic theme! Well done!! 😊 I like the bats you added. 😂So excited to see more entries this month!! 😊💕
@deflygirl – Very nicely played DeAnna! I do hear a couple things for you to look into. It sounds like you are adding an extra melody note at the end of some of the bars in the A melody. In the D melody, I would suggest using a more traditional strumming technique instead of only the thumb. That’ll make it easier to play the 16th notes in that section. Lastly, try playing along to a click. That’ll help you smooth out the transitions while keeping timing intact.
