Well done on this one, Marcel! 
The strumming where you’re mimicking the way the Animals do it, sounds really nice. Also the dynamic changes in overall playing work well. 
Also great how playing while singing works for this tune, you kept your rhythm steady to my ears most of the time. And I liked the way you kind of smiled during the outro noticing it’s not coming as it should. A feeling we all can relate, I guess. 
Thank you Lisa for your always uplifting comments
I studied the recording, tabs, and several tutorials to get closer to the original. I scribbled all the speed changes and as many details, as I could muster on the songbook page. I would post that sheet, but I don’t know if it’s allowed to post chord sheets from bought material.
True, I felt more comfortable keeping time with singing in this one, if you can remember all the verses it feels relatively intuitive in relation to the guitar.
Honestly, I’m just trying to smile and look at the camera or something when I feel a cranky face incoming 
But yes, the true feeling came through anyway. 
I read you’re using an iPhone to record. iPhones by default use a variable-bit-rate recording which is not as precise as constant bit rate (CBR). I had the same problems with trying to stitch together audio & video in Adobe (a long time ago). Maybe Ableton deals with the iPhone video the same way as adobe.
Your audio tracks are probably fine.
You could try a different video editor to stitch together audio + video - DaVinci Resolve doesn’t seem to have the same issue with iPhone video.
Good on you for posting in AVOYP.
Thank you for the tip. Had no luck with this recording trying to stitch it in DaVinci. No matter the frames, importing in differently, handbrake it etc.
I ended up stretching the audio instead a bit for the last video.
I’ll see if some other framerates or maybe the 4k setting on the phone could help. It’s a bit sad because the automatic audio syncing in DaVinci Resolvce would be comfortable, but it doesn’t work with the time discrepancy.
Thanks for the help, it’s pretty hard to find information on this problem. But pointing out the non-CBR nature of the capture at least helped me get clarity as to why…
I think I had this problem once before, Marcel. I use Reaper and there was a media setting for the project, frame rate maybe, that was different in the DAW to the recorded video. I don’t think it is caused by the audio sample rate.
Oh and well done, you are making progress with your playing and singing.
I’m in Reaper at the moment. In Reaper it was on the Project Settings pop-up but under Video not Media. My memory was correct, the setting to check is Frame-rate. If you drop a video into a DAW and that setting is not consistent your video and audio in the DAW will be out of sync. At least it was in Reaper.
Thank you for the tips and input. I tried some more things today after your input. Sadly no success.
Ableton is not very good with video it seems, it doesn’t have settings for it.
I went through troubleshooting guides and made several adjustments to the video conversion as suggested. No matter the software (even if setting the project framerate correctly in other editors like DaVinci Resolve) I can’t get the video to be the same length as the audio track.
I will try some different settings (4K/60 fps etc.) on the phone next time and see if they are better.
But by this point, I feel the iPhone just doesn’t record perfectly in time (maybe fluctuations because of the variable bitrate).
I’ve found some Reddit threads on similar problems, but none seem to offer a good solution, some say to just use other cameras or record the input over an interface connected to the phone. Which I don’t want to do as the audio will be no multitrack anymore, thus not really mixable after the fact anymore.
Can’t help with either Ableton or an iPhone.
@jkahn, perhaps you have more experience using both?
@DavidP I do use them both but suspect Marcel’s Ableton knowledge is a lot more than mine.
I don’t have iPhone audio sync issues these days but I did back when I used Adobe Premiere Elements.
I use Ableton for audio only, and export the WAV to import into resolve. I figure use an audio tool for audio & video tool for video.
Another thing I did at one point is to set my iPhone camera to “Most compatible” formats rather than “high efficiency”. That might have made a difference.
Thanks for chiming in some more.
Tried this and did some tests and no help.
Found a “solution” though:
After testing it with my Focusrite interface in the living room, there were no problems.
I have an older Mac I inherited in the recording room and tried it with the Behringer interface and it has no problems producing a sound file matching the video, even Resolve makes no fuss auto-aligning them.
So I highly assume my ethernet extension kit for USB may have introduced latency fluctuation or the Behringer drivers for Windows aren’t as good as the native Apple ones.
Guess I will be using the Mac for future recordings in this room. Luckily it is not as loud as my main pc.
David
Thank you for posting this ! It may explain the issue I was having, playing back the rideout video, as the default Project setting is 30 fps. I checked the MOV and MP4 files and they were 60 fps. So possibly not down to ASIO4ALL. Hey but doesn’t explain the ASIO issue that followed or that playback worked with the UMC Driver and later with FlexAsio. 
MMmmmmm ?
What I could not find, was a setting in Preference to set/change a default fps value, so I guess I’ll just have to remember next time I use the helmet cam.
You can set it up to be the project default setting, but perhaps an issue if your studio webcam is different. Then you could set up a couple of project templates to accomodate different fps values.
Just checked the Hamburger “takes” and they’re are captured at 30 fps from the studio webcam. As the bike footage is rare these days maybe a setting change as and when.
Not sure if the Apexcam fps can be changed but the last rideout it was set to 1080 but can do 2700 and 4k but 60 fps makes more sense for an “action cam” recording. Memo to self 
Updated Routine:
As I still have a hard time memorising all notes on the fretboard and would like to advance a bit faster there, I added a little fretboard memorizing practice routine from another teacher.
Somebody made a nice app called Fretboard Forever which gives you a good tool for this method.
Good to see you’re still at it
Hello JGers,
long time no see sorry.
Due to health issues I’m a bit out of the community and interacting loop.
Hope y’all are still at it and doing well!
For those interested “Hi” and here’s a little update about 1.5 years in:
As I had some in-person classes where we ventured a bit further than grade 4, I already did catch up a bit from grade 5 because I already was practicing barres and all scale positions from the music theory course too, and wanted to have Justin’s didactic perspective from the main course.
I will practice licks and scales from the grade 4 list while practicing scales and barres from grade 5 in parallel.
So besides that, now mainly learning bending, vibrato, blues soloing and improvisation, before trying to get into the CAGED system and using modes soon.
I’d like to produce and write more too, but am reduced there too due to health issues.
Here a sketch of a Bossa Nova like improvisation for the interested:
Masooter - Bossa Nova 1?
Wish you well, Marcel. Enjoyed your sketch
Hi Marcel,
good news on the guitar related side - great to see your progress there!
Health related I wish you all the best, good recovery and that you get well very soon. Take care! 
Thank you @DavidP and @Lisa_S for your well-wishes.
David, I’m happy that you enjoyed my sketch.
I’ve been setting up a streaming setup and tested it to record my practice routine.
–
If anyone is interested in seeing someone else’s practice routine, warts and all, I uploaded an abbreviated video. I included only a few seconds of each routine, but the last 5 minutes with the Blues lick improvisation are uncut.
2 years of learning guitar update; still alive, still at it.
Having a bit of a hard time in life and low energy to engage with people, but learning and playing guitar helps me to keep my mind engaged with something fun until I feel better and can share the joy of music more with others.
I’ve got nothing special prepared to share for the 2 Year’s “anniversary”.
So anyway here is where I’m at now:
I’m happy to finally have all Major modes scale positions under my fingers more or less, so I can get to understand the whole neck and CAGED aspect better.
I consolidated my theoretical basic knowledge and some concepts to learn on several spreadsheets:
My Music Theory CS (masooter) - Google Sheets
It may be a bit scatterbrained as I stitched it together from different sources.
Some things repeat, but I tried to insert concept-specific links to go deeper and have multiple ideas on most sheets to bring them together in my mind.
Loving the new Blues tracks Justin added, but still practicing the “Boom Bass with Licks” as I barely scraped through with 90 points in the app once. Trying to nail it more before learning the next study.
I’m not recording myself much on camera at the moment, but my mom often starts recording when I show her what I’m learning.
So here is a little raw snippet of Blues improvisation:
And here is a first cringey attempt at voicing out the notes while improvising😅:
