You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
hi there,
thanks for your advice on writing i will try to put more personal touch to it. i play guitar best. my main goal is to play the songs well enough. tab it out and provide the midi of the songs. i spend 80% playing and 15% tabbing and 5% writing.
Chris,
Thank you for putting these up. I’m a beginner and enjoy the classical stuff. I’m having some problems with the last two bars of each section. I just can’t make it sound like you. Could you provide some tips on those last bars on what you are doing?
more info bro. having problems means what exactly? cant sound a certain string? right or left hand problem? my tab provides both hand fingering. the last 2 measure. you have to go downstroke with thumb and upstroke with middle or index-up to you. keep practicing to play it slow at first. hope i answered you. good luck.
