Thanks @Glenn
It’s not a very difficult concept to approach pretty old school way of doing things, just have to aim for smoothness. The only way I know how is to go from slow to fast and no short cut. I build muscles memory by repetition. It also gives an extra benefit, it gives you time, the next thing you know you have time to do something extra.
I’ll give you an example of my cover, the Lemonade. I started at 60% speed when I was comfortable playing at about 75% speed but I made myself starting at 60% and increase 1% every sessions and each milestone of 10% I stay at that spot twice. By the time I get to 100 and plus 5% I’d play this song may be 700-900 times limited to 10-20 times per session. It sounds like a lot but it’s not. The reason to play faster than original is when you are back down to the original speed you are much more relax since you have done the worse, lol.
Another perk of doing it so many times is you are comfortable enough to your own personality in to the song, and really make it you. I really strive on that.
This is the original speed by Yein Kim, I found that it’s too fast for a good taste, it’s more mechanic than good sounding piece and since I’ve spent a lot of time climbing up to the original speed my ears like my version as it shows more articulation.
I put this on my Final Cut pro and drop it to 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and load it to my Moisses then drop digit percentage there on each milestone without losing any sound quality.
Here’s 70% pretty easy eh?
You already have the tab try it. it’s very doable.
I’ll record a slow version along with the tab when I post my Change the World live 4 String version. It would be fun I guarantee.
Just in case I’d include the tab here as well so you don’t have to scroll up to get it.
