Matt’s Learning Log

So as well as the Neil Young stuff, I’ve been learning Do You Know What I mean by Oasis. It’s quite a fun song to strum along to, largely the same chords as Wonderwall but a little easier. It’s a good exercise in keeping the strumming arm moving while switching chords. The recording has some verses and a couple of choruses, plus pre-chorus which changes the chords and strumming. If I’m being really critical then I can still smooth out the changes around the pre-chorus a bit more but I’m still pretty happy with it

Do You Know What I Mean practice

Continuing to make progress with the Needle and Damage done. Have been playing it on Moises with a metronome. I think Moises says the track is 106bpm but I’ve been practicing at around 90. I can manage faster but make more mistakes. Have got alternate picking going throughout it now which I think improves my rhythm. Will maybe do a fresh recording soon
