Tombstone Mountain Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Video works now. :D Very cool. I can still hear that you're working on it (it doesn't quite come off as confident yet), but you're about a million billion times better at that style than I am, or likely ever will be. Definitely. I still need to tighten up the alternating bass, especially on the IV. But overall I'm pretty happy with my command of the patterns on the I and especially the V. It would have sounded more like something if I had had some slap back echo available, too. But I shouldn't have to reply on it. Agreed. I'm guessing your nails on your right hand are a bit longer than on the left? Nope. I used to do that, especially when I was playing a lot of classical style. But anymore, they would just get in the way Even a little bit of an edge will catch the string (especially with the middle finger) and cause it to snap in a way that I don't want it to. So they are all regular length short. I can't stand to use my nails when I fingerpick, not so much for the way it sounds, but the way it feels. I don't feel like I have much control if I can't actually feel the string against my skin...but the downside is, my picked stuff sounds a bit "mushy". I think if I were playing nylon strings I would probably grow my nails out a little and then make sure they were properly shaped. I did that for years when playing a lot of classical style stuff. But with playing electric, and very bright guitars (Start, Tele, and Gretsch) it is enough to get a finger tip on a string to get it to ring out. I have to be pretty deliberate about it, too, since I'm using a pick as well, and usually on the bass notes. But those are usually palm muted, so the treble notes ring out more easily.Well done young man!. Nice work. I enjoy your playing bud. You've got some skillz dawg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Stevie Ray Vaughan channel, and they would show up every so often. I was barely into the blues at that point, and didn't know what to make of what I was hearing from that album (probably Sweet Dreams) but I liked it. Finally downloaded it a year or two ago when I really got into wanting a Telecaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) And if you like those guys, you'll love the guy they called The Telemaster: Danny Gatton. I'm not sure if he used a Telecaster on this song in the studio. It sure sounds like he did. But there are videos of him playing it live with a Tele, and also a big hollow body Gibson. This one I'm sure he recorded with a Telecaster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdgI6YJUOeE Edited April 23, 2015 by Dr. Sheldon Cooper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This one is of particular interest because I'm working on a solo version of this song as well. I like how she does it a lot. One thing though: when she's playing the Emaj chord at the end of the chorus, and she walks up the bass notes, she goes E, F#, G#, to A. When I walk it up, I skip the A and go to B, essentially playing an E7/B, which is, to me, a much better setup for returning to either Amaj or Am.

Right...it reduces the tonal redundancy from one passage to the other...creating a little tonal tension is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well, almost always a good thing. (Do I need to qualify my statements here, ala SOCN?) ;) I think that since music is pretty subjective, a person with objectively good desires would not force you to qualify your statements. So, yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaportrailer Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 For Goose, and his current Who binge: Keith Moon makes me want to play.
