@cheeze_pizza Great sounding covers, you are crushing the 50 song challenge! Like them all, some highlights for me were the tone on the U2 track and that sweet fill on the Gorillaz, no “laughstramental” required
@iamck74 Nice Megadeth The song keeps you moving, very solid, will only tighten up with more reps.
@robbp That was intense! Great job with the alternate picking. That definitely requires focus and keeping that right hand relaxed.
@Paul_9207 What a great choice for your first Acoustic cover! I haven’t heard this for years, one of their best tunes for sure. Enjoyed this a lot.
The solo is cool but it’s kind of unstructured chaos. It seems like the type of solo they would never play the same way twice.
Great song ! but with the common tuning issue … the A is not 440 Hz as usual, but more around 430 Hz, so the bass has to be tuned accordingly otherwise it sounds off.
This is something common with 60’s and 70’s records, and a lot of AC/DC songs have this issue.
As I was typing up the other post over in the 50 songs thread, I came across this fact. I was doing takes with a different bass that had slight intonation issues and it made the tone shift even more noticeable! Oh well - perhaps I can add in the shifted version in place of the audio I used. It’s worth a re-visit down the line.
Considering I can’t even post this one to YouTube, I’m not so sure it’s worth a ton of effort. But I’ll have a gander at the pitch shifter nonetheless.
I feel like you got a little ahead and|or out of sync on this one, and the rests got a little muddled a few times. You kept recovering back into the groove though so it’s there for sure.
You’re really knocking these out fast, super impressive learning so many so quickly, maybe slow down a bit and get the most out of what each tune is teaching us?
Looking back at my tracks in GB, I went with my 9th take and I guess I was a bit over-zealous in getting it posted before it was ready for prime time.
I’m trying not to strive for absolute perfection. I usually allow a few flubs that can later be overlaid. However, it seems my ears didn’t pick up on this when I was listening to it before uploading. Now I can hear it clear as day. I’m always fresher in the morning!
As for the pace, I’m definitely in hyper-focus mode but I think the pace will slow as I get into the 20s and beyond.
Thanks for that feedback John.
P.S. (You aren’t being coached by dlamson to slow me down, are you…?) I know it’s not a race, just having fun.
Hahahahaha. I made a push a while ago to try to catch up to @dlamson13, then threw in the white flag. That said, he gets an * by his name when he finishes, cause he’s one of those damn guitarists!
