Oasis - The Importance Of Being Idle - Rhythm Guitar Lesson / Tutorial

[fitzerelli1]

a great video,but it would be even better if you talked us through it,still good but for a amateur like me ,well i need all the help i can get,thank you anyway,it wasa help to me.

@fitzerelli1 Hey - thanks very much I'm glad it helped you ... about the talking ... mmm, I'm a bit shy I guess!

[dumapies]

what do you think about the microphone?

[MrClose2u]

@dumapies For a cheap and cheerful way to record it's okay. I get a bit of background hiss but I've now learned how to reduce that in Reaper. No doubt a DAW and a better mic would see better results. BUt this works as a budget method of recording. Make sure you adjust the input volume levels on your PC.

How does the guitar play?v(FG332) I have the opportunity to buy one (which is how i came across your videos) It sounds really nice! Hows the action? That's pretty important and hard to judge anything but in person, so i guess asking you may be helpful?

Thanks a lot and nice playing!

@torbjorn66 I've had my Yamaha FG for over 25 years and it sounds sweeter than ever ... always been a joy to play ... I wouldn't sell it ... highly recommended

[MrClose2u]

@acdc915 learning by ear is the best way .. I'm glad this helped you too :-)

[nfleig]

Every video is a greater pleasure to listen to. Your learning curve is impressive.

[MrClose2u]

@nfleig very kind words, thanks a lot

[vicont]

Great job! I actually tried to train my ear getting arpeggio part in pre-verse before you showed it in upclose.

[MrClose2u]

@vicont ear training is often overlooked, especially with so many video lessons, thanks for stopping by to watch and comment :-)

[rob69ie]

[JustinGuitarStudent]

awesome

[MrClose2u]

@JustinGuitarStudent thanks - keep practicing and you'll be playing songs like this very soon :-)

[zeitgeist1]

Really nice job with this. I had actually never listened to this song before I saw your video, but after listening to the studio version I actually think it sounds with just an acoustic guitar than it does with the lead parts and all the other things they have going on in the original.

[MrClose2u]

@zeitgeist1 Thank you for watching and commenting - especially on a song you didn't know before ... I agree, the original is very 'busy' and it works well stripped back down to basics
