@Siehtscheh Bravo, Winni, sounding pretty good. Keep doing what you are doing.
I find I get better audio quality if I record a video with the phone rather than just audio. So if you have a smart phone perhaps try that.
Copy URLs to SoundCloud, videos in YT etc and paste into your post on a blank line with no other text and it will embed. You can look at yours and see the effect
Way to go @Siehtscheh
That was a really good performance. Sounded like the strumming was nice and steady. A lot of things to be happy about.
Just open your windows
Congratulations on your first AVOYP posting Winni, youāve done a nice job with the song. Open those windows and let everyone hear your skills on the guitar.
Hi, pretty new to the community, and not a native English speaker so I hope you understand me
Didnāt want to start a topic and glad I found this space. Still have to get my recording set up on par (had to mono the video as I couldnāt mix my interface over the phone).
Playing since Oct 2022. Im currently at Module 19 of Grade 3, but revisiting this song right now as I never memorized and learned the strum/picking pattern until recently.
Still not getting it as flawless as Iād like. Some unnecessary slowdowns and mistakes. Forgetting to mute the 1st string on the verses, not enough single picking too much strumā¦
First time trying to record with mics. So the voice is a bit more clear than Iām used to, but Iām more conscious of the flaws in my singing. Am I close to the pitches, way too flat?
Iām a really inexperienced singer I feel. Always thought I do ok when casually singing songs, but hearing it back clearly Iām doubting my progress in that areaā¦ could use some neutral ears, thanks.
Marcel, good job with the song, strumming and chord changes look and sound good. Vocally, you are a little flat but I think singing along to songs on the radio and actually playing along with your guitar are totally different. Remember you can use a capo to find which pitch best suits your voice.
Surely, itās possible. Thatās how I understand it at least The recommendation is to āideallyā upload a song from the song lessons. I guess thatās to make it more likely that people, who listen to the song you are playing in the video actually know the song and can hence give better feedback
Still, I think absolutely nothing speaks against you uploading a tango
@MarioD Mario, you can learn to play and share any song you like. As part of mastering and consolidating what is taught in grade 1 and 2 what is important is to exercise what you are learning. That enables you to get feedback to aid in your progress.
And over and above that, you can throw in other things. While we advocate following the lesson flow as Justin as a tried and tested sequence that supports laying strong foundations there is nothing wrong with adding extra things that help keep you motivated, such as a tango.
Thank you very much David! Anywayā¦I am 70, so I belong to a pre-tec generation, and still donāt realize how to upload a video here. I would greately appreciate some help on this matter.
On other respect, of course I love Justinās lessons (I am working on grade 3). But I think it would be interesting for other students to have more contact with Latin styles, and, as I was born in Argentinaā¦a tango rises as a natural option. Thanks again! Regards, Mario
You can upload a video to YouTube (set the upload to āunlistedā if you donāt want it showing up in search results or autoplay suggestions for other users), and then share the link here.
Mario, the first thing to know about sharing videos is that they must be uploaded to the internet. The Community platform does not store the video, it is always accessed via a link to the video.
The majority of people use YouTube for video. Some people record audio-only and use SoundCloud but that is not as common as when I started. You can also upload the file to a file-share like Google Drive or Drop Box. That is also not common here.
Do you have a Google Account, a GMail address. If so best option would be to create a YouTube channel. If you are recording with an Android phone then not too complicated to upload the video direct to your channel from the phone. And youāll find lots of info to get you started just by searching in YouTube for videos on how to create a YouTube channel.
