Thanks Ken! It’s on page 16-17 of volume 1 and the title is Here we go again. Recording these duets has been way more challenging than I thought it would be. I’m ready for the slow and steady pace.
Oh geez, obviously I was not paying close attention! You put this right in your title! Thanks for being so kind!
Hello Nick?
I just saw your post and it disappeared!
What happened?
Could you post it again?
Thank you.
Tomo
Now I can hear it! Thanks for sharing! Good job!
Is this line recording? If you can, do record "LIVE" so we can hear "Air, Room sound" too.
Lovey playing! You should do iPhone recording and play other part.
Thank you so much!
Tomo
Thank you Tomo! Here is a new video with me playing guitar 1 “live” ing with my recording of guitar 2.
Will post a new video when I get to Second solo!
Thank you for posting that way!
Sounds so good! I bet Bill is smiling in heaven now!
Great job Nick! Lovely playing.
I am curious about your acoustic guitar.
What brand is that?
Thank you.
Tomo
Wow! Love your performance!
The timing sounds so amazing, I'm still learning sea to sea, Try to balance chord transitions , muting , timing , thumb position... To be honest , both hands coordination is not easy to do. For some reason , My muting time is always too long , so I can't play the next chord on time on the next beat , Everybody have any ideas? Thank you!
Just an idea. Identify the place in the piece where this is almost always the problem. Then set the metronome super slow, to a speed where you can make the change without muting. Once you are able to play the change at the slow tempo and feels comfortable, start to mute. So first the change, in time, then the muting. Might work.
Very thank you, Ken! So happy that I have a more clear view , Let me to do this more slowly! Today's practice I will care about which part have problem:)
Ps:Have good rest during recovery, best wishes
Jiayang,
Thanks for your input!
I love these duet songs from this book.
I use to do this for a long time. Playing each part very slowly.
Two things I was looking for. 1) No noise 2) Dynamics
So I had to turn my amp a little bit louder.
No reverb! More treble from my amp. Vintage Fender amp, treble 10, bass 0.
This way I could improve much faster and steady.
Guitar volume is around 7-8, Guitar tone always full 10.
That chord part. Play them super slow so that you can use your right hand palm muting.
Very difficult to do! That's why this book can make you a better guitar player!
You can apply all detail techniques that you have learned from November Challenge.
Please keep practicing this duet song for 2-3 weeks everyday.
Thanks for your passion and dedication!
You are giving inspiration to others.
Thank you.
Tomo
Thanks for suggestion Ken.
In order to control muting technique.
I highly suggest not to use a metronome (yet)
Once you master those techniques then your suggestion is correct.
That's why reading written information is so dangers to take it too straight.
Thank you.
Tomo
Very thankful ,Sir!
It seems that the chromatic scale brings a lot of crucial information!
I've been practicing this book with acoustic guitar , Now I can practice method book with my electric guitar :)
I decided the first thing is no metronome , no noise , play very slow and add muting technique 's practice.
Things became more clearer , slowly can make me for less struggle , so happy about this !
Thank you for everyone's help!
Thanks Nicholas for posting this. It has inspired me to copy you and record myself, still not up to your standard but great fun, if a bit frustrating at times :).
What a beautiful performance 👏 reminder to go back! I stopped the book before some time because i didn't have time for all the things that i wanted to focus and i want to review everything again that's a reminder to have high standards patient and go slow! Thank you Nicholas.
@Tomo thumbnail changed!
To add to all the great advice hear, I saw an ad on FB that said that you should practice a slow speed such that your brain can tell
Your fingers what to do - slow enough so you can play each note with intention. I thought it was great advice.
Thank you!
Your performance really inspired people!
Included me!
Slow is so good!
Give yourself more time to think & feel ... deeper.
You're very welcome!'
Thank you!
Tomo
