I’ll spare you from that.

Ha, no worries. You play whatever makes you happy.

50 Songs Challenge Song no. 33: Van Halen - Running with the Devil

Nice job Mr. @cheeze_pizza

Noticing you are not using your fretting hand at all for muting those steccato notes.
Would be good to get into the practice of doing this so you have it in your toolbox.
Video is off, or my PC is slow, could be.

I struggled on those fills for a while, but when I got them they are fun as heck to play!
Yours sounded great.

@Johnnyb

It’s not great, but at least it’s another song that I manage to play.

I thought this was excellent @Johnnyb
Not my cup of tea either but the riffs are great and you played them fantastic!

@Johnnyb

This is a cover of my own

does it mean that it is your own composition ?

[Johnnyb]

Yupp, a long time ago.

[terb]

okay ! there is this thread

Post your original songs/compositions!

everything is in the title. I guess I have to start and I’ll post one thing that’s more a test than anything else. this thing started as a test of a hardware drumbox I have (Digitech Trio) and I started layering some guitar and bass tracks to see if it would work. of course I play all the instruments. well it’s more a post-desert-rock mess than a real song but here it is : some Fender Precision Bass involved some modded BDI21 involved as well …

[Johnnyb]

Yes, I know, and for sure if I make something new, I will post it there. But this really was a cover, as I totally had to find out what to play. I’m not even sure if it’s right. But it is drop D at least. That, I am sure about. But no problem if it should be moved to the other category.

[terb]

no it’s not a problem, don’t worry !

[cheeze_pizza]

Thanks John. I have used my fretting had for muting in other songs I believe. The plucking hand seemed to be tight enough on this song but as the song difficulty progresses I could see that becoming an issue. Good info man.

I still seem to struggle with syncing in iMovie…what was the software you mentioned previously that has the audio sync feature?

Thanks again.

DaVinci Resolve.
The free version will do everything you need, but it needs a good computer.

@John_E

DaVinci Resolve

I’m starting to learn it … not very easy ! but it seems excellent, yeah.

[John_E]

Check out @PamPurrs and my tutorial to cut to the chase on the things needed. There are also a couple of very good YouTubers for “how do I do this, how do I do that”

[terb]

yeah, also a lot of very good tutorials in french, which is nice for me

This is the fist song I’ve done where the timing gave me a really hard time. It’s in 5/4 and it was really hard to get used to. Other than that it’s not really a difficult song, but it is fun to play.

[Johnnyb]

Very good job @Paul_9207 ! Added to the list of songs I want to play.

[Glenn]

I don’t know maybe it’s just me but I think you nailed it. That looks like a very busy bass line. Awesome job @Paul_9207. Nice tone also blended with the song well!

Those fills were excellent, and loved the tone, and can always go for some VH!

[dlamson13]

I liked this, looked fun to play, and a good departure from journey for sure.

@Johnnyb

But this really was a cover, as I totally had to find out what to play.

I have to admit I’ve watched my own youtube covers to relearn how to play songs more than once.

[dlamson13]

That was great Paul! I like this more than Hysteria, the 5/4 really gives it an interesting feel.
