I'm afraid of it, beacuse sometimes I can't even play with the metronome :D.<br>Listening to your recordings, I think I should give this play-together a try.<br><br>Your new arrangement is very very nice, and the guitar sound is fantastic!<br><br>Interesting, I listened to Naudo's solo and somehow it reminds me of George's singing in place of the later solo in Something's demo.<br>I love troubleclef's version of the song, he plays the solo brilliantly.

I saw in your blog somewhere that you gave a tab of a Beatles snippit to practice.

My style has gone in a slightly different direction, but that's the fun of it isn't it?!<br><br>The song Something - yep, I've always loved it and I knew I'd get around to it one day. I'll probably post up a video and tabs in a months time, stay tuned! :)jawmunjihttp://jaw.ii.net/stuff/tab.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140232930378188483.post-77812952600534599422010-08-09T16:03:02.000+08:002010-08-09T16:03:02.000+08:00Ah, don't be afraid, I can't play to a met...Ah, don't be afraid, I can't play to a metronome either...but it's a good aspiration to strive for. My drummer mate and I decided I would record some tracks of my stuff THAT I WILL PLAY AGAINST A METRONOME...and he will work out a drum beat and practise to it. I'm not looking forward to recording stuff to a metronome!<br><br>Really, give playing with a drummer a try, I'm sure you will enjoy it, I certainly do.<br><br>I'd forgotten about Troubleclefs version of Something, he only posted that one recently. Just re-listened, yep, it's very Troubleclef - fantastic and nobody will be able to play it except for him :) My version you will be able to play, it's shaping up to be straightforward. I'm aiming for deep subtleties in the playing and sound, I am starting to find it, that recording was halfway there, too many mistakes for my liking.<br><br>That will be the trick with my version, intermediate level suitable enough to fumble your way through, but very difficult to really _play_<br><br>...if you know what I mean :)<br><br>JAWjawmunjihttp://jaw.ii.net/stuff/tab.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140232930378188483.post-12624057055103490122010-08-12T18:09:37.000+08:002010-08-12T18:09:37.000+08:00Hi Jaw, I missed that as I was on holiday in Franc...Hi Jaw, I missed that as I was on holiday in France for some time, with no internet, no tv, no radio. I think your version of Something is very very good, I like how it sounds relaxed with a quite slow tempo. Also the quality of the sound is terrific, it really brings a lot to it. <br>About the songs with drums, it's a very good idea, as a fingerstyle player, adding a drum is probably the most natural thing if you're gonna add something, as you don't wan't to add another guitar (that goes without saying), no bass either, don't need it, but a drum is of a different nature... anyway you are lucky as it gives you a wonderful opportunity to improve your rhythm, you can see where it doesn't really fall in the right place (yet), but overall it sounds surprisingly good. This makes me very enthousiastic about fingerstyleRoman Agehttp://romanage.over-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140232930378188483.post-80329228296701615532010-08-12T18:11:39.000+08:002010-08-12T18:11:39.000+08:00(continuing) ... about fingerstyle guitar with dru...(continuing) <br>... about fingerstyle guitar with drums or percussions, to the point that I would like to try if I can have the chance.Roman Agehttp://romanage.over-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140232930378188483.post-41036917211187102962010-08-12T23:46:44.000+08:002010-08-12T23:46:44.000+08:00Hey R, good holiday?

As you can tell, Rob and I have some work to do if we were to make it happen; mainly focussed on getting timing and tempo right. The natural tendancy when under pressure is to speed up; and the natural tendancy when playing along to an external tempo source is to synchronise to it. Add those two things together, a song that starts at 70bpm will probably end well over 100!jawmunjihttp://jaw.ii.net/stuff/tab.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
