And once again without AJ.
Actually that’s not entirely true, I had AJ in my headphones 🙂Thanks for listening and good luck, everyone!
Thanks @Andrew. I understand your idea with the division into two independent pieces 🙂
I have a different question. When I combined the two parts into one, I thought about Etude 32. There we also played the theme at different tempos.
I thought that since we are changing the key from C to F, and I am changing the structure (separating the melody and chords into different instruments), then changing the tempo seemed like an appropriate idea to me. But it looks like something went wrong in this case…
Was the fingerstyle part too long, so that it could no longer be called “the first run of the theme” or was the change in tempo between parts too abrupt? Or something else?
What do I need to pay attention to if I want to change the tempo within a piece like in Etude 32?@Andrew, thank you for the feedback 🙂 I’m glad you liked what I did .
I always look forward to your comments 🙂You have already recommended me several times to work on the tempo. ..
I don’t know where to start. I’m afraid there will be a lot of letters.In fingerstyle, I worked with a metronome, I increased the speed from 75bpm in steps of 5bpm to 110bpm in two weeks. 110bpm turned out to be critical. I turned off the metronome and recorded what I had.
I worked on the duet mostly without a metronome, but for technical reasons it is easier to record a duet with a metronome. I turned on the metronome at 155bpm, recorded what I had, the result satisfied me. What do I want to say? I spent much more time on the fingerstyle than on the duet.
There is a phrase in the rules of participation that I like : «Use this challenge to help you set goals and complete them by a deadline»
I have no goal to increase the tempo to 100%. My goal is to stop the increase of tempo before I lose control and everything falls apart.
The fact that the duet turned out at the right tempo is pure coincidence. I could play a duet at the same tempo as the fingerstyle, which is 110bpm. To be honest, I don’t want that at all. Raising the fingerstyle tempo by another 45 is very problematic at the moment. But that is another story 🙂

Hello everyone!
Here is my attempt with “Feel Good Strumming Riff”:
Have a nice day!
And again “The Chicken”, this time with drums from the app “Drumgenius”, track “Funky 15”, which refers to Peter Erskine.
What can I say. It’s tricky.
It’s slow, at 60%.
Not everything worked out the way I wanted it.
And yet, here’s what I got.Have a nice day!

Hello everyone!
Here is my attempt with “The Chicken”.
This version with Andrew and Stephen, at 75% speed.Thank you @andrew!
As for the bass part, I didn’t have many ideas of my own. But I have a bass player next door. I just showed him part B with drums as a loop and asked what could be done. He said there’s a lot possible and just played over the loop.
At home I was spoiled for choice, the etude is short and there was so much interesting stuff.
I showed the results of my experiments here and also to the bassist next door. He thinks it would have made more sense to make Part A a bit simpler. And in Part B, to pay attention not only to the drums, but also to the uke (in terms of rhythm).I AM A PREMIUM MEMBER
Hello everyone!
Here is my attempt with “Etude 32”.
I’m not familiar with old world music. But I liked the combination of the melody with Danalyze45’s drums in the second part. It’s probably far from old world music… I thought I’d try it anyway 🙂
I added drums from wikiloops “Rock backing track 45681” by Danalyze45 (wikiloops public-license). It was too long and fast for me, I shortened it and slowed it down.
Have a nice day!
@andrew I’m afraid “Swan Lake 2” ended up in spam…
There has been a construction site in front of my house for some time.
First the construction workers used jackhammers.
Then stakes were driven into the ground.
And I practiced “Swan Lake”…Stephen experimented with distortion on the double bass.
And I practiced “Swan Lake”…YouTube said I might be interested in a video titled “15 STYLES OF METAL (w/ guests)”.
That surprised me a bit…
And I practiced “Swan Lake”…I watched the video.
Something sounded like construction site behind my window.
There were loads of distortions.
And in symphonic metal there is even something that sounds like classical music…So…
I found drums on wikiloops, “Metal backing track 68170” by rp3drums (wikiloops public-license).
Distortion comes from Audacity.
Sound is not cosy and now it is not slow.Here is my second attempt at “Swan Lake”.
On this recording I had problems with A string on tenor ukulele.
There are snarls on the 5th fret. I suspect that strings are too deep for the rest stroke technique. Or something else…Have a nice day!
