This does seem VERY hard at first when you try and do both parts together, but i've been trying very slowly for about 20 minutes and i'm already seeing improvement so don't give up people! I'm gonna keep trying until I perfect it. I think if you can master this, you can improve your coordination and in the long run, you'll find other songs easier too
You are so right. My fingers would not work at first, but I tried and tried and tried, and now I can play the whole intro fairly well. It's not going to be perfect on the first try, so practice is absolutely necessary for difficult playing.
Great lesson, very clear, and nicely transcribed/adapted for guitar, I think this arrangement is great and it helps with technique and timing. Thank you very much for putting the effort in to make this video, I'll definitely put the effort in to perfect it, cheers.
Good Lesson! My suggestionto anyone who is experienceing trouble, Take some time to study the classical guitar if you haven't already. It's like a big big unlock in a guitar video game!
Wow yeah this is real hard to do both at the same time, but I found by exadgerating the double picking helped. Just say in your mind over and over as your playing, " thumb AND Finger, thumb AND finger". This guy is a genius.
Dude, you're an awesome teacher, but as you may have noticed, hardly anyone can play both parts. Could you possibly revisit this and devise an easier way, or maybe suggest more than one guitar?
Is the base line in part I and now II played on a second guitar and is it other than the bass guitar? I know it's basically played on the piano, however if no piano would it be a second guitar? An acoustic for that??
Great job and video. A few's hour's of practice and I've got it down pat!! Thanks for the good job of transposing that song to guitar, I really never thought about playing that part on a guitar...COOL!!:))
nice video, but it would help to see both hands playing instead of just one, that way it would be easier to see how the two parts are combined. nice vid tho
lol I was doing so good....got them both down perfectly..... tried to put them together and it sounded like sfgjaehnwgjihqaerigh$T^@! lol Thats okay, Im only 10mins into practicing, Ill get it. Great video! THANKS!
how the hell do you play the high notes and the bass notes together my hand is getting confused ! haha lol, good lesson like but i REALLY cant do it :(
Very cool~ We're gonna post a cover of this song 2moro and I'm thinking of playing it as you have showed here BUT..our singers want the song in D so I'm thinking either of tuning down or figuring it all out in D and seeing if that could work lol
I am not cordinated to do them at the same time so i jsut do the piano then when the bass part comes i play bass then go back to the piano but i am still working on putting them together it doesn't sound bad when u just play they bass parts when they come through t
@paintballtommy just play it over and over. That's really the only thing. You're fingers and mind will get more use to it. Eventually, you'll realize that it's easier than you remembered. And don't try to be fast. Take it insanely slow. That also helps a lot.
@paintballtommy realize that you will be plucking the bass line at the same time as you strike the note for the higher part, you just have to coordinate it. Practice it ridiculously slow at first and go faster and faster until you get it. It took me several hours to be able to play it but it was totally worth it.
wow it is so hard to play both of these at the same time.....
