This one doesn’t officially start until the 22nd of March, but I know some people have finished the first song early and will want to start talking about the next one, so am creating this thread a week early. I’ll be doing this for all future songs. If you haven’t finished “Another Brick in the Wall” yet (like me!), don’t worry. There is no rush. In fact, you could take a month on each song if you want or just join in on songs you want to. Totally up to you.
Song: Bad Moon Rising
Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival
Tuning: Standard (EADG)
Here’s my attempt. If you want I can remove and resubmit on the 22nd.
(Before anyone asks: yes I do have more than one T-shirt, but I recorded Another Brick in the Wall, Bad Moon Rising and Crazy in the same session, so it’s going to be the same one in all three.)
I started looking at this one last night. At first glance I thought, ‘wow, easy’…but trickier than seems on the surface. Getting the 8th notes just so and keeping perfect time so long, good little workout.
Each song seems to have little nuances that add to knowing how to do something else a bit better down the road.
Well done! No need to remove the video. I know some are ahead, so that’s why I start the threads a week early. You really did this one spot on as far as I can tell! Looked effortless to you. Maybe you should have to wear a blind-fold on the next one you do.
same Fender CS ‘61 P-bass, Labella 760M strings, tone about 50% mark.
This time I went through the Fender Studio Amp and used their SVT sim via the XLR post output into the Focusrite and then Abelton. Ain’t perfect, but I really dislike this song and just wanted it done…haha. As I mentioned in another thread, I used 1 finger to pluck mostly throughout to try to keep the intensity/consistency of the pluck even. Not something I normally do.
Looks and sounds great John. Well done! I didn’t pick up on anything going wrong at all. And that bass sounds great. Almost upright sounding. I like this song, but I know there will be some in the 50 I don’t like for sure.
You guys are setting the bar quite high, @akos and @John_E… I’m not as familiar with this song as I am with “Another Brick in the Wall”, so it will take me a lot of practice to learn this one. Also, the original bass line almost sounds like it was played on a double (upright) bass, and I’ll need to figure out how to get that tone as well…
There are ways to try and emulate an upright, but I wouldn’t stress that for this purpose unless you really want to. Here are some tips if you choose that path.
. You look a little beefier than your avatar though.
