@cauer2 – Our participation goal is 100 folks. You only need to submit once 🙂
You def can, Dhruv! Start here with our lessons and let me know if you need any help. I’m always around to help! Have fun 🙂
@deadbuggy – That sounds better! But I would still work on getting it 100% accurate to the arrangement.
johanna2509 – Great job! Here is my feedback and the lesson I referenced.
Thanks for your support, @parkin73! If you need help on the lessons, please don’t hesitate to post ?’s on the forum. Happy to help! 🙂
laurasil – Beautiful playing! At this point in your playing, I’d start thinking about adding accents and dynamics. Most of your playing has a very even range, but you can really make the piece pop in certain places by using either of these concepts. Check out this live lesson that Matt taught for an idea on how to incorporate this into your playing.
Jina is spot on!
Arranging takes a diff approach if low or high G. Neither is more difficult, but one is usually the better choice to arrange on, depending on the tune. For example, Moonlight Sonata needs the bass movement heard on the piano. So Low G was the obvious choice.
I’d recommend one of each. We hit low G lesson content hard this year and have 18 arrangements out atm.
@lisadmh – You are pulling the strings down. Try to form the chord so the strings remain as straight as possible. I would remove the phrasing and just practice the chord change with the above as your goal.
@nthibode – And I thought you were sittin in the dark outside LOL
Here is the PDF for the live stream. 🙂
Please make sure you are logged in to download it.
@anirbaf – Can you post a video playing just that part? I’ll be better able to help if I can see/hear what you are doing.
deadbuggy – Great job, Sara! So I think you have a good base established, but with this song you really want to work on getting every note correct. I spent a lot of time with this arrangement on note selection, specifically the B melodies.
There is movement in the bass (which I talked about in the lesson), and this movement is intertwined between the harmony; which helps to make this a very cool sounding tune. Now a lot of times, arrangements have a “filler” harmony, and therefore you are free to switch up picking patterns, etc. But IMO, it does not work for this song.
nthibode – Bravo, brilliant!
robinboyd – Great job! Here is my feedback for you 🙂
Welcome, slij02! Thanks for the kind words! I’m always around if you need help or have ?’s on the lessons 🙂
