  My 1st Recording - I Shall Not Walk Alone

Well, here it is!! My first recording!! Its not very good, both the recording and the guitar playing, but for only playing 1.5 months, I am surprised. It's Ben Harper's "I Shall Not Walk Alone" on my electric. Sounds different, but still cool. I can't get the hammer ons and pull offs to ring right on my acoustic. Let me know what ya think. I need to work on timing and rhythm. I missed some notes and whatnot, but it was my first try. Anyways, thanks for listening....


PS- I get the priviledge of seeing Ben live on Wed!!! Can't wait!

I'd like to try that one, where did you get the tab from?

Maybe i'd be as good as Kirk is now!

I think you did a great job. the notes were very clean, the timing does need work but for only playing under 2 months, wow.

Thanks guys that means soooo much. All of the kind words are very appreciated. I guess taking some lessons, and ordering (yet still trying to get it down) the Planetalk Method, and practicing, practicing, practicing have paid off. haha. Thanks everyone. I can't wait to post more!!!

FYI - the tabs for all ben's songs are at http://benharpertablatures.free.fr/tabsindex2.htm

Wow, I really like that. You have done a wonderful work. It is melancholic in nature kind of like my heart. Music speaks volumes and you have spoken it well.
