Just WOW Adrian, Wow!, The singing and strumming and I guess some picking? I really enjoyed it, I couldn’t help playing it twice :clap:

Thanks Darrell always too kind! Mate please don’t do this to me, this song sits on my list of things to learn for so long now :smiley: I know it will be a pit or a well I will fall into for weeks if not months to come if I start playing it :smiley: but its circling closer and closer to the top of my list! :grinning:

Thanks Swas, you are a courageous man if you went for twice in a row! :grinning: glad you enjoyed it, some single notes performed but mostly tried to play it with other strings ringing out at the same time, a lot of middle fingernail usage to pick up individual notes! All the best.

Wonky memory on that one I’m afraid David. :slight_smile:

Hi Adrian. Pretty sure I owned that song on vinyl when that was still a thing. Your version is great. Love your playing.

I remember it too Richard Corinne & Richard Coles. More Than Words. - YouTube . You could probably do a great cover yourself now too, now that you’re singing!

My bad.
I misread and thought David was referring to the song @adi_mrok posted here in his original post.

It’s a while since I played that, I could dust it off I’m sure but the vocal is way out of my reach.

We could do a collab then would save me some time learning it to play :rofl: however I do plan to learn it one day! :grinning:

@adi_mrok, I think all the practice you put in truly shows up in your playing, and that’s great advice RE slowing things way down to practice! I often times get impatient and expect to play something new at near normal speed. I forget how useful it is to slow things down enough to make it possible to play a phrase correctly and gradually bring it up to full tempo. Thanks!

Really nice work Adrian. You’re looking and sounding as though you own the song and you’ve made it your own. I found myself completely engrossed.

On your Scarlett I can see both Input 1 and Input 2 lighting up but can only see one cable into Input 1. I think I can see a cable coming from your guitar. How have you set this up?

33

Thanks Maggie, you are too kind! :blush: if you look closely you will see 2 cables going out and 2 circles flashing as well, one for the mic and the other for guitar :slight_smile: cables are close to each other though and quality of the video is not super sharp so might not be that well visible. All the best.

Thanks. I could see both green circles lighting up but couldn’t see two cables, that was the mystery.

Another fine track in the books! Well done. Nice thumpy bits. Vocals on point as always, and strumming on time. Nailed it sir!
