@mathsjunky That sounds interesting… I dont know why, but I imagined the shire from Hobbit. Just the view on their village with nice sun rays… I am gonna keep it in mind. I really found some TABs in videos. I will try how it will sound to my ear in that tuning. Thanks for your time with recommendations.
Meanwhile… I found song Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers and Six String Fingerpicking has lovely arrangement for that. I think that will be the one.
Yes, you are playing with such feeling. I really enjoyed this. The melody can certainly be heard within the song. You are making great progress. Well done!
Just beautiful, Carreta. Keep it up. Give Autumn Leaves a shot. it’s a beautiful song as well. Find a version in a key you’re comfortable playing it in and have at it. Can’t wait to hear and see it. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Michal - that was really good - just listened to it twice - I love playing and singing this song but use a very simple 6/8 Fingerstyle pattern - your pattern was so much better - I could hear the words as you picked through the notes - I’m off now to copy you!!
@Jonjdarcy Thank you for such a nice comment. I am happy you like it. I have to give credit to Chris from Six String Fingerpicking. I learned it from him, changed just few details. I really recommend it to you too as learning material.
I learned Si Bheag, Si Mohr on my journey through my classical guitar book “The Shearer Method - Classic Guitar Foundations”. It was one of the later pieces in the book, which I highly recommend for anyone learning fingerstyle or classical guitar, and is notated as a duet (I only learned the first part).
Well done, Michel. You asked for possibilities for your next fingerstyle song. Might I suggest Cavatina (well-known as the theme song from The Deer Hunter)? There are some less complicated fingerstyle tabs out there that I think would be well within your capabilities. It’s a haunting, melancholy tune, but for some reason I’ve always been attracted to it.
@wiredforsound Thank you very much.
I checked out that Cavatina and it sounds interesting. Also Chris has YT video for that too (Six String Fingerpicking). I am gonna add it to list and in future I will see.
Now I am “fighting” with learning by some routine and my current song I am learning is Unchained Melody.
That is lovely Michal! And among things I found the tone really pleasant to the ear. Playing without tabs/sheetmusic is a whole different level of skill/enjoyment/feeling…I’m on the same track to try and connect what I hear in my musical mind to my fingers and express it through the guitar.
This is already more than a lot, clean notes and accurate technique will come!
I’m happy to read you’re happy with it…well I could tell from the video and fron listening btw
@Silvia80 Thank you very much Silvia. I take TABs as a really great tool to learn… but when I learn the piece I am trying to play it from memory and each practice sessions first I dig that knowledge from memory and then I look into TABs. This is the way it works for me. On the first place the brain should be the source. I am pretty sure Justin explained it in one video and it really works. I just found it myself and Justin told me its right. How nice.
@sclay Thank you very much, I am happy you enjoyed.
