HOMEWORK: Lesson 14

[RoaringRowanThunderBender]

Here’s mine! Obviously not perfect, but trying very hard. Tried my best on it even though it’s my first time completely by ear. Apologies for the rushed video as well, but my dad literally got home towards the end of the video and I had to run an errand. LOL. I definitely picked out some things I need to work on, but hope it’s ok anyway…I’m sorry to your ears if it offends them and I ruined the song for you. But I did feel very confident in a few of the chord choices!

Rowan, I’m a little drunk right now so I’ll check it out later!

 

[AGA]

Lol Ids!
Rowan, do not apologize. That’s what we are here for, to help each other improve without judgements.

 

[AGA]

Nicely done Ids! I like that song too I’m very glad you pushed your comfort zone, keep singing and you’ll feel more comfortable doing it.
Well done for your first time transcribing Rowan. I know you were in a rush, I would just say work on your chord changes.

 

[RoaringRowanThunderBender]

Thank you, Aileé! I was thinking the exact same thing, to be honest.

 

[RoaringRowanThunderBender]

Ids, I love how unlike my transcription, your chord changes are so effortless and fluid. I want to try to get that well with chords that aren’t as familiar to me. Also, your voice is extremely relaxing. I enjoyed it. Volume will come to you as you get more confident. I wish I could show you the difference between my singing and now. Keep it up and you will succeed! Just make sure instead of relying solely on your lungs, you’re singing with the power of your diaphragm. That will improve the volume as well especially once you get used to it and get your diaphragm stronger. Overall, I don’t have much to say about your guitar playing, other than I appreciated how fluid and effortless it seemed for you.

 

[Evan Cosman]

You both did really well Ids i really felt the feels there, and Rowan awesome work keep it up!
I have a really terrible attention span so I have kinda learned different riffs from different songs and solos haha, I’ll try to focus more on one song and get that posted

 

[RoaringRowanThunderBender]

Thank you, Evan!
I’m the same way, but this is the first time I haven’t used tabs and ear and solely listened by ear. It was an interesting challenge to put on myself, so I had to participate and try something new.

Rowan I hope you just get more time to play. Sucks to be rushed lol you barely got a chord in before the door opened lol.
But was good none the less. loving that les Paul.

 

[RoaringRowanThunderBender]

Same. I should have more time and I’ll try the assignment again maybe and just take my time.
Thank you thank you! I love her myself.

 

[idssdi]

I have been realizing lately that time is kind of essential when you learn something new or like to maintain techniques aswell. I’m also kinda lacking the time lately aswell unfortunately.
I’m sure you can get more comfortable with the chord changes aswell when you have more time to practice Rowan!

 

[RoaringRowanThunderBender]

It’s true and life happens.
Thank you for the support Ids! I’ll do my best and work on it!

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Guess it’s time for 15? I listened to the jam and it’s definitely different to the others. Dont use E7 often myself.

 

[idssdi]

Yeah I was thinking that too and I love dominant chords!

Better late than never!! Here is “Ain’t it Fun” a cover by Guns N’ Roses (original by Dead Boys). The song uses the chords we learned on the lesson A G D, but is tuned 1/2 step down. I am playing the lead, which is based on the Am Pentatonic scale. This is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE lead parts, it’s so classy and smoky. I have learned everything by ear, it has taken me several hours of work and I’m halfway done the whole song. I want to continue until I learn it in its entirety, I’ve always dreamed of playing it (Hail to the King is to Jak, as this song is to me lol )
Can someone give me feedback on how to improve my playing? I think my picking hand is not consistent and I need to mute strings better. (Also, my good mic died on me halfway through the recording so that’s why the audio changes so drastically.)
