Mac - Wonderful tonight ( live 78 version )

Well done Deborah. Very clean playing.
Learning the arpeggio variations exactly like EC played them will help you reuse them elsewhere interchangeably.

I like this song. It’s not mainly about a drunk man :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

BTW I recently watched a documentary about EC in the 70s on Netflix. A lot more drugs and alcohol than I expected. I’m glad he got out of it and survived it. He’s one of my favourite guitar players/singers.

its minor errors … like I should have let some notes ring more or I slightly touched a string making it buzz a bit
its something that would happen if I were on stage so I decided to keep them
The original had lots of the same mistakes ( I just dont have the excuse of being drunk XD )

thanks ^^

@jvlynch

thanks :slight_smile:
I m too much of a perfectionnist , I try to remind myself that even pros make mistakes in recordings or live settings

@Bertha

I hope its a what and not a where cause I just play in my bedroom work studio :rofl:
I want to try a Jean Jacques Goldman song next ( a french artist )
My teacher will tell me at our next lesson if he thinks I can play it

@beejay56

Wow I never expected such praise :open_mouth:
and here I was anxious of posting it ^^"

@heckler

BLIM is very interesting to do so if you feel like doing it , just do it !
but be careful , I learned this song with my teacher , its outside the BLIM course
You ll have songs in each BLIM modules but none have lead guitar / solos
If you want to play lead guitar in a song you will have to pick one yourself :slight_smile:

@TheMadman_tobyjenner

thanks a lot :slight_smile:
Yeah I ll keep on spending months on each song I learn XD

I ve never heard this song from Status Quo :open_mouth:
thats typically the type of music I love to listen to !

@math07

thanks a lot
I enjoy reading your log about Blues
I ll maybe try active melody next year ( black friday ) thanks to you talking about it

@CamiB1157

ah sorry no

@erionstrings
Im just trying to be as good as you , your last video was a blast !

True , its about a future drunk man waiting for his wife XD

the guy was a keg with legs :sweat_smile:
but his music is fantastic


I wasn t sure I d buy the DAW but now I know I will thanks to all your nice comments about the tone :slight_smile:

@Richard_close2u

Can I consider this song as my end of year project for BLIM since I wasnt able to participate in the last challenge ?

Sounds fantastic Deborah! Standout for me is the super accurate bends. Congratulations!

This was phenomenal!

I must admit, I was eagerly waiting for you to record a semi-finished version after all the hours you put into it.

I haven’t paid attention recently to people’s learning logs, but I am curious what your next challenge will be :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:.

@glpguitar

I dont do much WIP on my log
maybe I should do it more often
an unfinished song sound a bit weird

Im glad to discover I have some unknown / quiet readers of my log :slight_smile:

Im still working on On the beach
The next recording will be for the Christmas community AVOYP in december
the next big project though will probably be a Jean Jacques Goldman song but I cant guarantee the result will be as good as this one ^^”

Listen to the whole album, full of SQ classics.

Thanks, Deborah, for letting me know about this. It was really nice to listen to and you did “Wonderful Tonight!” (pun intended). Haha! I guess that’s silly . :blush: But seriously, so well played, nice arpeggios, bends and rhythm. All sounded good on the mix.

That’s a usefull remark, thanks! Yes, lead blues guitar is something that is very high on my wish list, but considering that I have a ton of baseline stuff I need to work on, I believe taking BLIM as you suggested will definitively add value - it will just have to wait a little longer as I don’t have the time to dedicate to it right now.

Speaking of Clapton and blues, I have been working on “Sweet Home Chicago” (ok, not originally by Clapton, but I’m playing the intro and some of the embellishments as he did on “Sessions with the King”). Fun stuff, lot’s of learning in the process …

I wasnt sure since it isnt an impro ^^

Well played Deborah, particularly over this version

A very memorable song from my youth, at time of absolute mayhem.
Have a listen to Royal Albert Hall in the 1990s. Superb, polished, and very sober Clapton

Cheers, Shane

Yes I know this one :slight_smile:
Its a more intimate version and its way harder to play especially the outro ( the bends are so beautiful and smooth )
Sometimes its so subtle , the arpeggios are barely audible
I had trouble with that , sometimes I wanted to be so subtle that the note did not ring at all XD

Its really shows how much different versions you can have of one song

Im glad you liked my avoyp since you re the Blues specialist on the forum :slight_smile:
Im really happy since it is the first Blues song I play

This is beautiful, Deborah! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
The tone and your playing! It was very enjoyable to listen and so well played!

I’m with you on this one :joy:

But very glad about this too! I really love his playing!
