- Yoooooooo, so here's my first iteration of Antoine Dufour's "30 Minutes In London"! Part of these sessions is to keep the best live shot that I've taken with the ToneWoodAmp! And the performance anxiety is REAL with this take, but there's only one way to get used to it, and I'll record this one again in the near future.
I'm using the ol' dual Shure SM57 combo into a UAD Volt 2, and just some light EQ through Reaper. All effects are coming from the ToneWoodAmp on the back of my guitar.
I hope you can hear it well! If anything, I suggest headphones haha 😅 been a few months since I've had the recording gear up, and I probably sat a little too far from the mics, but that's okay, there's more to be had!
A new guitar day is coming soon, as well as some new gear I've been looking forward to messing with! Slowly but surely! I hope all's well, cheers! - เพลง
Crazy👍!
Thank you so much, man, I truly appreciate it🫡😁
You're a very cool dude. This game makes me want to start singing) I also played well once, but then no one knew what fingerstyle was, and then there was a crisis and I had to sell my acoustic and electric guitar(
Oh, dude, you're the cool one here!😎 But thank you! I gotta stop drinking coffee before I record, I realize it makes me fumble a lot haha! And I'm so sorry to hear that, man :( I hate to hear whatever you experienced made you sell your guitars!
Damn that looks tough to play my man! That was beautiful!
Quick question if you don't mind: how did you learn this song? CandyRat has the tab on their site, and I am tempted to buy it. The thing is, I feel like using tabs too often takes away from my creativity. I'd love to hear your philosophy on using tabs vs learning by ear.
Love the playing brother :)
Yo, dude! Thank you, I really appreciate it! Haha, and it's definitely a challenge in its own right, but I have this curse of playing well in front of people and not cameras😅 I also need to stop drinking coffee before takes lol, hence the giant mug right next to me.
And ask away, my guy, I don't mind questions at all!
I honestly learned the song by both watching Antoine play it and tablature. Honestly, I believe no matter how you learn it, you're always going to pick up something and it will always (more often than not) add to your creativity. There is a benefit of learning by ear when it comes to ear training, BUT, sometimes picking up on certain nuances can get lost in translation.
Although, this can always improve with more experience and time.
If you want to expedite that skill, ear training alongside tablature is an ultimate combo imo. I got examples like, learning this song, Encomium, and Whiskey Strategy by ear but I used the tabs eventually to help pick apart what I may have been missing... and I still have yet to redo Encomium lol.
Also listening to artists play their own song in present time, versus when first published, you'll see how they've also evolved it over the years in how they perform it dynamically... this can also drive you to experiment.
There's no real "one way" to learning perfectly. And the more sources you have, the better. And the more you mess with the song, the more songs you learn, the more you'll hear and recognize other things that will allow you to improvise further and make something with your own flare.
I listen to so many songs on repeat, and I sing them in my head when I'm not actively listening to them, then I try finding the patterns with melody, bass, and rhythm. The tablatures and or live videos I watch I use to refine what I'm trying to play.
Long story short, buying the tabs isn't gonna hurt your experience or creativity at all haha! I've been playing and writing music for guitar for almost 20 years, studied classical and flamenco through my teens while trying to be in metal bands, and I still use tabs to this day hahaha!... I hope none of that sounds pretentious, I just want to drive the point that it doesn't matter how you learn, as long as you're learning, everything else will fall into place if you give it patience and attention 😁 loving the process also helps haha!
Thank you, dude! I'm sorry if this was long winded, though I hope it helped, always feel free to ask me anything else! I'm more than happy to help 🙂
