What I wanted to do was take bits from each version and stick it together. However I’m not sure if it’s all in the same key (or if that even matters).
You would need to play in the same key as ours. If you need help transposing, Stephen could help you in a Skype lesson.
I’ve started learning the Phrygian dominant scale in A for all the finger style bits but am not sure if I can use this key with the rock class version.
Yep, you can use that!
P.s I also watched an insane version by Paul Caca who is not using low G. So wondered if this would also be possible with the rock class version.
Unfortunately, he’s playing in a different key.
@johanna2509 – Well done, Johanna. Sounds great on guitar! And yes, those stretch chords are tough on that instrument, but your form looks great. Keep up the good work!
Welcome, @limitlessvibrations and cool song! So we’ve done one lesson that adds a percussive beat to strum patterns. Folks seemed to really dig this lesson, so we’ll prob do more in the future. But hopefully that gives you an idea to go from 🙂
@wongbrown – Well done, Sheila! I want you to work on keeping the swung feel throughout the piece. Try a slower tempo and play along with me in the tab player. That’ll help you stay locked into that swung feel.
@lhamilton – Sounds great, Linda! My only tip is to try to quiet the unwanted string noise when doing the single note lick in bar 28. You can cut down on the string noise by muting the open strings with the palm of your right hand. This lesson talks about this technique in more detail 🙂
@marianne – Bravo! Great playing Marianne 🙂
@ukandrea – A lot of it is feel. Your picking attack, and even how you fret the notes, affects the overall tone. I come from the guitar world, and there’s countless guys trying to chase Eddie Van Halen’s tone – but the truth is – you can buy all his gear, but his tone was in his hands. He’d still sound like himself through a starter setup.
You may want to take a Skype Lesson with Stephen. It would be beneficial to work on this concept with him so that you can get feedback in real-time.
Welcome, @gi_gi_! Glad to have you on-board and I look forward to watching your video for the challenge this month 🙂
