Song 5 - "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC

Hi @KaiserSoze - sadly, this song is slightly off key, about a 1/4 step or so IIRC. This was discussed above.

That makes your version very ‘out of tune’ even though you are ‘in tune’ technically.

Your ears hopefully picked this up as an issue.

Playing wise, a bit ahead of the beat most of the time. Some of your run ups are a bit off timing wise as well.

Try to feel and hear the original in your head to detect what may be off when you are playing.

You are right, I am out of tune… but my ears didn’t find as an issue… :man_facepalming:

And about the timing… how do you notice that??? for me is quite good in terms of timing :sweat_smile:

I can hear it - but you can go into your DAW and compare your bass to the recorded bass (assuming you split out the track and have the original bass line) and visually see if you are off.

Your ear will get better and you will learn to hear it. Hard to do when you’re playing, better on playback.

Here’s the 5th one!
I struggle on this one, particularly on the timing, on making all the notes the right length and at the right time. I do feel like I’m often dragging a bit, but I was tired of listening to this song, so I just filmed it as it was. I can say with confidence that it’s going to take a while before I ear this song again…

I don’t here it, sounds damn fine to me. No dragging at all anywhere to be heard, and articulation sounded right to me.
