hi Warren

stupid questions: is the pick supposed to make things easier? would it be worth it to learn?

i just can't seem to be able to hold one properly, i feel like it hinders me.

[warrenmusic]

@silencilliste I would say it is worth it to learn. Jeff Beck might disagree. I am a huge fan of using fingers, but there is a certain edge to the sound that one can only get by using a pick. Strumming and flat-picking are more articulate. Whether or not you have the patience or some quality music instruction is another question...

Hi Warren, big fan of your work here and your tutorials which are pro standard. One question I got for you is to do with singing, which I've been working to learn and improve now for a while. I've got a voice register that I find very similar to yours and I've been wanting to sing this piece but I've had some difficulties hitting the higher notes. When you get to those higher notes for example in the verses, do you use falsetto? Or do you squeeze them out? If so any tip is appreciated.

[warrenmusic]

@klinji Thanks man, this wasn't my best vocal performance by any means, but yes the higher parts are head voice. I am of the opinion that falsetto is yet another, even higher register than head voice. I try to focus my vocal training on mixing my head/chest voice. One example of an attempt of this is what I do with my Staircase or Supercollider covers.

warren man.. i want to bake you a cake :)

[warrenmusic]

@silencilliste I like chocolate.

[courteneycrass]

you made this so much easier then i ever thought it was...seriously trying to learn the tabs for months on and off..watch this once and ive got it. amazing.

[warrenmusic]

@Goreuncle Actually, the dream is now reality. The fundraiser was also an opportunity for people to get some covers and tutorials out of me, so it wasn't a handout or anything. I hope you enjoy the tutorials, because I am only happy to do them.

@silencilliste you can play it however you want but the Thorn plays it with a pick. Like you, I used to hate the pick but after I learned how to use it, I hate to play without it. I had luck learning with a very light, flimsy pick. The thicker ones still give me trouble.

you left out the two hits on the G 8th after hittin tha bass note A 5th and E 6th. its in the same rhytm as the B 8th and G 8th before. i think its really missing. however, im a big big fan!!

[anandbala1]

[KURTMIR]

I was watching the version of the song, is very good .. I congratulate if you could subtitling in Spanish to the tutorial would be great ... Greetings from Argentina ..

[Derppe]

Do you pluck each string or strum the guitar? When I strum it, it sounds like a chord and not a pattern...but I see that you're strumming in this video

I am BACK... BIZZACK! -- awesome tutorial dude :)
