Nice playing overall @myheadsmt91

My only comment is you are rushing the beat quite a bit (plucking quite ahead of where the notes should be). This is normal and will come with time. Just be mindful of it as you go forward.

Else wise well done!!!

Nice bass too. What kind is it?

Thanks,

I’ll try to be mindful of the rushing going forward, half the battle is knowing.

The Bass is a '85 Ibanez RB960 Roadstar II

Not my most motivated cover attempt, but here goes anyway :

I think I slightly hit the headstock just before playing and seems detune on the D, but I only realised it while I was finishing editing. Sorry for that. I will leave it at that (for now).

I can’t get the sound to play on my phone.
Hmmmm

That’s probably normal. I’ve lost the notes I’d taken regarding the codecs that were working best for any devices when encoding (e.g : iOS - but not limited to it - doesn’t seem to like some of the default opensource version of demux/codecs/tools I use in Linux for audio/video).

So I need to research it all over again - -’
Still, if it’s just the sound, this makes it easier at least. Thank you for the heads up John_E.

Can you please tell me if you have the same issue with this cover ?

Thank you John_E ! And … thank you again for your help debugging the audio issue.
It would seem that :

  • libmp3lame is lame (what was I expecting with this kind of name, really ?)
  • while aac is the ace

Now I should remember ^^’

Here’s my take on Bad Moon Rising:

Honestly, I’m kinda glad to be done with this one. It’s odd, I’ve always liked listening to this song.

I’ve found that if I’m reading along as I play, I can pick it up pretty quickly, but trying to play it from memory takes me a bit longer depending on the song. I imagine that’s to be expected, but hoping I can improve my memorization speed.

Really nice work, man. Very authentic, laid-back legato attack, just like in the original tune. :+1:

Thanks @JerryP @MikeC !

It would probably be good for me to revisit this one from time to time. The quarter note rhythms are far more challenging for me to keep in time than, say, chugging a bunch of eighths.

Note length and playing legato is something I’ve been trying to pay close attention to - glad it seems to be working!

Hi folks

This is recording attempt 12. From the first sighting of the sheet music to the recording was over 100 song sessions, and I still made mistakes in 10 attempts to record :frowning: . My 5th attempt was acceptable but my phone reached a maximum 10 minute video duration and stopped recording 20 seconds before the end of the song :cry: . The end of the video is the sigh of relief :relieved: .

My fourth video.

I used the website Moises.ai (5 free songs per month) to remove the bass and provide a click count-in.

I am happy to receive feedback.
