4 Strings Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 [quote name='simes' timestamp='1353614613' post='1876675'] Easy - Commodores Teen Town - Jaco.....well the first 4 bars and only at half the speed it's supposed to be but it's my long term practice piece to work on at lessons. Not my usual musical fare but good for improving and learning. How the hell do you play that fast and maintain accuracy .

Well aye, good luck to anybody trying to "make it" in music today. getting so much air shows they really have the dedication to go the distance, but it is unfortunate that their genre tends to be a bit like marmite... you either love it or you hate it. Personally, i'm quite undecided wether i love it or hate it. did they have a bit of mentoring from gary lightbody? he owns that music place in belfast doesn't he? snow patrol is a band i slowly grew out of.

WalMan Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Just remembered I am supposed to be learning two Yes songs for r/h on Saturday - well three actually but as one is Your Move & that is basically an open E on1 of every bar as far as I can tell I think I have that nailed. So tonights sesh was Starship Trooper. I did sort of work it out 30 years ago, but that was to Yessongs on my record player and dropping the stylus back & back to pick stuff up. Tonight was an MP3 into IK Multimedia SVT in X-Gear and boy does that make life easier. Set A-B points to loop and slow it down a bit. An hour later and after looping round the walking bits starting at 85% then speeding it up I think I pretty much have it. HURRAH!! Tomorrow night is Yours Is No Disgrace (if I'm not too late back from father sitting) Of course what will then happen is that either only half the band will have read the email and learnt the song and/or we'll run it a couple of times and Mr Anderson's squeaks will defeat the vox & they'll get canned. Still fun to learn & a bit different from the proposed new three piece blues project that is due to try to get off the ground at the beginning of Feb Edited January 14, 2013 by WalMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Sir Duke - Stevie Wonder. That unison run took some effort and repetition to get right... but it's a lot of fun once copied into the hard drive in the brain. Still need to work a little to make it run more smoothly though.
