EP406 Acoustic Rhythm and Melody

[Anonymous]

I’ve been working on this one since May 17 on and off. I gave up with the metronome and went with my ears and heart and it seemed to work out better. Recorded with my Fender LT25 direct USB into Audacity. Thanks for watching.

Really well played Ivan. Steady tempo wasn’t an issue, I reckon you were right on the beat. Great attention to detail while playing, relaxed and a really good feel. Sounded awesome on the electric too. All the best!

[JFL]

Really well played Ivan, and you nailed every note. It’s a beautiful piece and you gave it a nice flow. Well done!

I felt every note was telling a story.

The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

Keep going with the heart Ivan!!!!!it was great!!!!

[Tim Read]

Nice work…didn’t need the metronome as the beat was there all the time and you handled the transition between chords and licks smoothly…I am still struggling with that!

I agree with Tim and have never been satisfied with the metronome or Phrase Recorder(s). In this case all of your Readers have nailed it and the Aye’s have it, You played in a wonderful and / refreshing method. Thank you for the opportunity to listen, it’s perfect as is.

[San Luis Rey]

Nice going Ivan! You hit all the notes precisely on that Strat. Love the clean tone you got on this one. You put in the work and it paid off!

I wouldn’t have thought of playing this on electric, but it works really well.
Timing sounded spot on to me and lovely clean, open sound from your Strat.
Very nicely played Ivan.

Not familiar with this lesson yet, I have no idea what it sounds like on an acoustic but you make it sound awesome on an electric. Nicely done Ivan, played accurately and in time, perfect!

Superb playing!! Your efforts paid off, impeccable playing!

Nice job on this lesson Ivan. Also your solo with the ‘Jammers’ is excellent. You must be playing more guitar than golf this summer. 😉

Very nice indeed Ivan. Always hard to pull of solo electric with no backing because, with a pick, you can only play one note at a time. (Classical is little easier in the sense that you have access to the bass notes with fingers)

My classical teachers always used to criticize me for not using a metronome more. I think it is definitely worth while in the early stages of practice but, like you, I find I can put more heart into my playing without one.

[Dieter]

Very good job.
