  Knocking on heavens door


Hi just a quick question , unless I over read this I didn't see it anywhere .

I set my click track to :

Tempo -120

Beats per measure - 4

Number of measures - 32

But it seems to be too fast or is it just me ?

Hilch

song of course is Knocking on Heavens door by the master Mr Dylan

I'm not following, hilch. Where did you get that 120 bpm? Why are you playing to a click track?

I want to record my progress , I reckon if I record this song now it might help me with my timming , so I can continually improve my playing ..

Every month or so I want to make a recording of the same song once a month over a period of a year , store them on C D all in one folder stored so WHEN ( and thats a big when ) I finally master this song I can show other beginners that no-one is perfect when they first start . The idea of a click track would be so I can just practice where ever I am only needing my C D player and guitar ..My son is learning the guitar as well and if I set good examples in front of him he might stop trying to be Angus Young all the time and practice his chords ..

Ok, I'm with you.

Well, if it seems too fast, just slow it down to whatever feels right for you ... simple as that!

Hi Hilch, just had a quick Google for: Metronome speed +bpm

http://www.btinternet.com/~john.bald.../metronme.html

First hit pretty much explains it

When I decided to practice deriously, I bought a metronome that has a tap function that let you tap to a song, and set the metronome with that tempo.

You can then read the tempo on the display. So I would suggest you such a metronome if you want to practice that way.

I'm also the author of PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book. The lesson that this book, slide-rule and DVD teach is the most powerful of all: the 'trick' to seeing the entire fretboard as friendly, familiar territory. If you're beyond the beginner stage -- you know your chords, scales, maybe even modes -- but you're still wondering how to turn it all into music, how to invent and improvise, how to access all the bits and pieces, then this is the book for you. You will also be able to join the private PlaneTalkers' Forum and discuss the simple visualization technique with me and many others. - Read more here .

Testimonials

Hi Kirk... For years I've played finger-style guitar, memorizing licks, but never really understood "why" they work. The first of this year, I started playing my Strat once a week in a band. Your Planetalk book has helped me tremendously, to work out more leads around these shapes. The possbilities seem endless. I think I'm becoming a "lead guitar" player. Thanks Kirk.
