Level 42 - Overtime Revisited

I gave this one a go already a few years ago, but I play it a bit better now so thought I record it again :) The first bars of finger style I still had to warm up a bit. Overall this bassline is still a challenge to play and great for practice. The bass line really hangs in the rhythm so you easily play it to fast! Obviously I still make some mistakes, I am not Mark King after all, but it has improved :P

Spot on, never tried this one - theres always 2012 :) Your fingerstyle has really improved in the last few months, it was always great but you've smoothened your style a little. Great job Ramon

@jonannlou Hey mate, thanks! Ya fingerstyle is getting bit easier lately, though I still have those warm-up moments at the start of a song (like here) where you have to jump in to relative fast groove, always takes a couple of bars to stabilize the timing. You should give this one a go too, it's a really fun line to play! :)

Nice one, you can tell you've "matured" into the song. And it is a really nice tack, very melodic; one I've never tackled.

All the best to you and yours in 2012.

@TheWhippinpost Thanks mate, yeah it is probably a bit of contrast with my usual half hour practice uploads lol. Once I know a song better I can focus more on the details and especially the rhythm.

All the best for the new year to you as well mate!

@jonannlou (embarrassed) I know, you're right !! I've been a fan since '87 and have nearly listened to them daily.

For you to play along to all these songs means that you're REALLY good ! I just play stuff like Sun Goes Down .

[jonannlou]

@michaelofpetaluma Forgetting whats what? Not allowed ;) I've been following and jamming along to 42 for as long as I can remember, no other band compares to what they do.

[michaelofpetaluma]

@jonannlou OH Yeah, I forgot. I have them all and start forgetting what's what. Level 42 is my favorite band, for sure though (along with RUSH)

[ramon709]

@michaelofpetaluma Thanks a lot! Staring at the Sun is indeed awesome, I specially like the song Overthere from that album. This song was from the Gauranteed album though :)

[jonannlou]

@michaelofpetaluma you mean Guaranteed :)
