      but this is finger picked and from my experience such songs are much easier to sing along to than those where you strum; much easier to keep the rhythm while also singing

    Brillant arrangement: so fesable and truely effective at the same time. I love the use of the open strings armonizing and interwoving the melody, with continuous alternation of timbre and octave. That really gives the sense of the superbe arrangement of the original song, wich is the utmost example of what an arrangement can pull out of a two chords (wich is almost one, indeed) melody. Thank you!

    One amazing thing with Andy lessons. First as you see demo, you think "wow! I need this to learn". Once you started you think "it's absolutely impossible for me, better give up!" But, after some time it "clicks" ! , and you get it right. And the last thought- that's so easy! It happens every time with every lesson. And what you really need is practice. Just "shut up and play".

    Got it all memorized; just have to smooth it out. I find the hardest part is that stretch on the intro. To get the the bass down I walk through it very slowly over and over, and after a while it starts to become intuitive. This is definitely the hardest piece I've tried to take on, but very satisfying in the end. Thanks for the opportunity!

      @sc7244 6 років тому +1

      delcapslock100 Yeah bro agreed. That stretch is killer, I'm slowly getting comfortable with it but it's definitely a work in progress. I'll actually take the time just practice that stretch alone while playing/learning other songs just to get it down. Not gunna give up, I want this.

      I know the feeling. In my experience with Andy's arrangements I spend a few weeks learning the notes but can't quite turn it into music. Then suddenly after 2-3 months NOT playing it, I just find myself playing the way Andy does. My fingers know where to go, and my subconscious has figured out the touch. It always feels like magic. Once learned, you'll never forget one of his pieces.

    Really nice Andy. Superb nuances with a big full sound. Tricky fingerpicking. I can get it at 1/4 speed-the quick fills at the end of the chorus are rough to strike cleanly mainly because my picking hand ring finger isn't cooperating despite years and hundreds of hours practice. It's all technique
