For me it is like this: I can “play” quite a few songs that I really really love quite quickly.
Yes, I do follow the tabs on Tonelib Jam, and no, I don’t know what I’m doing
But - I PLAY and I have loads of FUN … and do learn the songs: after some time muscle memory sets in.
Of course I want to understand the theory (one day). But mostly I just want to play.
And here is where this method is unbeatable, in my opinion. It gives joy to beginners very quickly. It’s a positive reinforcement thing.
I know it from my own experience and cause I’ve seen it at a local school here…
So - with theoretical objections - you take away a method for beginners that is potentially great.
This is what I object to, nothing else.
I made a video, in tab mode (but I prefer the Rocksmith 3d mode myself)
(DISCLAIMER: I have just reset my PC, so I quickly installed the video capture software and did not register … sorry for the watermark and the non-editing!)
Regardless of what source imperfections may exist that are causing the song to slightly speed up or slow down, this is neither how songs are written, nor how they are meant to be played (as no drummer would do this on purpose), nor how they should be notated.
And since you are generating notation for these songs, that last part is important.
It literally doesn’t matter that those tempo changes are needed to make it work in ToneLib or Rocksmith/Guitar Hero/etc. The recording used probably had some imperfections for the reasons I mentioned above (or others). But trust me, the original songwriter did not wake up one morning full of hatred for his fellow musicians and decide to write it that way, nor would he play it that way twice
Good afternoon (here), I am 75% ‘Vlaams’, 25 % ‘Walloon’ as to my DNA and quadrilingual
The way BazzBuZZ is doing things is 100% cool, theory practice and fun all together !
D@mn - I stopped making jokes about Belgium about 10 years ago (cause they became the better Dutch in many ways, ie " Groot Dictee der Nederlandse Taal") .
You’re from Luxembourg - don’t you understand anything that your neighbours in Belgium speak? You are such a small country - do you have your own language?
No, in fact I worked with people from Belgium and from Holland in a very large project a few years ago.
I hadn’t worked with my fellow Dutch for some time, but something must have happened in the meantime: once we were funny, straight to the point, organized. But not anymore. We were weak, “serious”, chaotic!
But the guys from Belgium were really impressive - to me they felt … Dutch! Even their mastery of our language was better.
What happened???!
I had an identity crisis for several years after that - and I swore, NEVER to make jokes about Belgium again
Thats’ what I speak most of the time, but I’m fluent in French, English and German as well. I do understand some Dutch, I can even follow an easy conversation, but don’t ask me to speak it
