I can only echo what Paul @mathsjunky said. Bethany, that was really, really good. Constrant strumming, good and conscious rhythm, flawless chord changes as far as I could tell. And… You have a beautiful voice
with a bachelor’s degree in performing music…and that voice … what do you do in the safe place … a video with miniscule mistakes, or we have to talk about the sound quality… really super good already…I really know (and remember ) that the first post is/ can be quite exciting so that why you post it here ?
But I hope you are free …free now of your nerves because with some amplified guitar sound (well,or not) your performance deserves the “normal” stage now ,
I look forward to following your progress with the guitar…keep on going
Good stuff Bethany. A confident performance with a great vocal. Now you’ve posted your first AVoYP there will be no stopping you!
Just put it in landscape position then we’ll see your guitar. Are you left handed? If not you need to change your video settings.
I’ve just looked up one of your other posts where you say you only play your electric unplugged. That explains the sound. The main issue with doing that is that you can’t tell if you’re hitting extra strings and creating string noise etc. String muting is very important on an electric, still important but less so with an acoustic guitar. When you do plug your guitar in you may get a shock at all the extraneous sounds.
That was excellent Bethany. Nice controlled and consistent strumming with clean chord changes. With such a beautiful singing voice as well there will be no stopping you from here. Look forward to hearing more from you .
Ok so I’m about 3 weeks into the consolidation stage for grade 1. Generally pleased with how things have gone, chords and chord changes seem good and strumming starting to feel more relaxed.
This is my attempt at posting a video, Eleanor Rigby playing along with the app.
Quite shocked at some of the facial expressions and should have spent more time on the video but just wanted to get it done.
Hopefully another week or so then on to grade 2.
Congratulations on your first video post Mick.
Coming along well mate. Clean chord changes, good pick attack with the strumming , and importantly, solid rhythm; a massive bonus if you’ve got some natural rhythm.
