Vince Guaraldi - Linus and Lucy

I couldn't find any individual sheets for this piece, and I didn't wanna pay 20 bucks for a book just to get one piece out of it, so I just played this one by ear. The main theme was pretty easy to figure out, but I had to make stuff up for the middle section.

@lookfar29 Thanks for your comment! Yeah, I did the percussion also. At the time that I recorded this, I didn't have many percussion instruments at my disposal, so I was just beating on my guitar for the percussive sounds. Happy holidays to you too!

Great, however I wonder (as a raw beginner) if there is a way on the classical guitar to make it sound less clean and "bright"?

[PoopPoopFart]

Thanks! One thing you could do is buy low tension strings. I usually get normal tension Pro Arte strings by D'Addario. Strings with lower tensile strength tend to have a less bright sound than high tension strings. You could also try picking/strumming further away from the bridge of the guitar. The closer towards the 12th fret you get, the "softer" the tone becomes. Also, keeping your nails smooth and slick helps.

so did u lay the "lead" over the "rhythm"? or vice versa?..i think u shoulda tried both...not that it matters...good job!

[PoopPoopFart]

Hi,

I recorded the rhythm track first and then I recorded the lead. Thanks for the comment!

this is really good. I'm surprised this came from someone with the name "PoopPoopFart", sounds like what my little bro would call his youtube account
