It happens to all of us, welcome to the club.
The takeaway here is to use your ears, and trust them, they will tell you what doesn’t sound quite right. Takes time to develop, but it’s things like this that we all learn from.
Good job @doylecb ! This is the first song I’ve played too, as part of joining B2B, and it’s a lot of fun to play. Especially when you notice you’re getting much better at it. Keep it up!
Ah yes, the dreaded Curse of the Record Button I really like @John_E’s advice. Personally, I never try more than two, maybe three times in a row when trying to record myself, but I might go for the one shot take from now on as well.
I’m about to do the Gnarls Barkley song. If I get it out before 5 PM today it will be less than 24 hours which I’m preparing to be super proud of ha ha!
nice @groaner ! Yes, there’s a bit of a curse where you can play the song no problem but once you film it’s a different story. This is a great song to start with, then as weeks go by and you revisit it, you’re surprised by how effortless it feels
Nice first effort and welcome to the challenge!
I hear a number of notes a bit late in timing, and a bit of a miss on the slide but overall a really great job!
Tone is just perfect, and you sound perfect when in time.
Excellent… Nice work! The tone is spot on.
And a little reminder that I need to get started on these myself. 50 songs to learn sounds a tad daunting, though.
1 at a time. Plus, you don’t have to do them all. Do the ones you want - skip any you don’t. Use it however you want to keep yourself interested and progressing…
Thanks skydvr, not doing them all is definitely the most sensible and pragmatic approach. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so if a challenge is laid down, I will be tempted to take it
Finally, got it sorted. After learning Another Brick in the Wall, I listened to the whole of the album (hadn’t listened to it in years) and had forgotten how The Happiest Days of our Lives works as an intro, so decided to learn that too. Since it was so short, it only took a couple of hours to get the gist and a couple of days to refine the whole thing.
I’m pretty pleased how it turned out, but I’ve got to work on my recording as it sounds a little muddy. Hope you like.
