Here’s my first ever public recording of my playing. I have a weird long history with this song. I first “learned” it via the original Rocksmith game years ago and dusted it back off once my music theory learning caught up with what my fingers were doing.
In terms of me: I’ve been playing for almost 4 years now, though I’ve meandered through a variety of online learning platforms: Fender Play, some of Justin’s courses, then a long pause, then about a year with Pickup Music and now I’m back to Justin’s curriculum now that I see he’s got the intermediate levels sorted. I’m currently working on Grade 4 modules, as that’s where I started to discover gaps in my knowledge.
I love this Black Keys album because nearly all the songs are heavy on the minor pentatonic scale and are playable in one take with a single guitar playing a mix of rhythm and lead. This particular song’s solo is basically just a walk up the blues scale and I still love it even knowing how simple it is.
I was inspired to record this after I started looking at topics in this forum and noticed @deiussum had also uploaded a take on this song a few months back. Thanks for inspiring me and happy to compare notes on the song!
Oh, and in terms of the recording: I made a drummer track in GarageBand that fit the song fairly well, then used QuickTime to record myself playing over it. My Fender GTX 100 amp has a direct USB line in to my Mac so I can use it directly as an input. Then I combined the video and an export of the backing track together using iMovie. It’s pretty amazing how much you can do for free on a Mac!
