Consolidation song number 3! I found this song harder to play slowly than fast. I found really good vocals only on youtube and was going to play the whole song with that but figured since I did just the chord progressions for my other consolidation songs I’d do just that here. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.
EDIT: Youtube seems to have cut my playing off for some reason. It’s close to the end of what I recorded anyway but it just doesn’t end naturally without what they cut off. I end on a long Em in the original recording.
Doing well, Alexis, that sounded clean and steady. Keep laying that solid foundation.
Thanks David!
These last weeks of consolidating have been extremely valuable. Hoping I’ve laid enough foundation to be successful in Grade 2.
Sounds good to me Alexis, yes slower pieces can often prove to be more difficult, not what you would think
Keep it up, you’re coming along quite well!
Very nice playing Alexis. Your strumming is dynamic, your posture and strumming arm action look good.
Nice steady rhythm and clean chord changes, good stuff.
Sounded good to me Alex…nice and steady playing. In Justins original song book he used the chords Em, G, D and A for the verses and Em, A for the pre chorus (“and I find it kind of funny” part)…that wa with a capo on 1…apparently to play along with the original you capo 2.
I’ve had a new appreciation for Tears for Fears lately. This song definitely sounds better played slow. The original recorded version was just too fast.
This should be a great one to learn to sing with too.
Sounds great, thanks for sharing!
Nice!
What is the BPM on which your playing?
Didn’t set a specific BPM for this one since I was playing by myself. I just made sure I tapped my foot to stay consistent. I was going for the slower Gary Jules version of the song. I think I was a little faster than even that one.
