Location: Just outside Dallas, TX | All there now... It seems I zapped a LARGE folder before and it was putting all those files back...
Also PLEASE note on Desert Flower... the 1st several Measures are LEFT HAND ONLY... you Pluck the string with finger on left hand and then Hammer on the note!!!!
Examples are at Old Playing and Recordings I'll even re-do my recordings as it aint fair to use older stuff when I was playing more frequently ;) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'm still working on your tab for "It Doesn't Have to Be This Way". I'm still on the first page. I'm not sure I could figure these out in a year. Besides, I listened to Peppino on his website and I couldn't understand a word he was saying. |

Born in the Sea with dedicated practice is doable in a week |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If you tell me that "It Doesn't..." is doable in a week with dedicated practice, that will give me a frame of reference. Sort of like when the ski shop employee told me they considered an intermediate skier to be someone who skis 50 days a year or more. |

Then add the right picking...
Depending on how often you play and how quickly you can change chords (been playing 33+ years) a week playing an hour each day building on what you did the last day should get you to a passable likeness of the song
Personally I prefer Photographs and Memories (only because of the interesting G chord shapes and pull offs) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Thanks. I've been playing for over 33 years, too, but for about 25 of them I may not have practiced an hour a year. An hour a day is more than I usually can muster now, but it picks up a bit in the winter. I'm not satisfied with a "passable likeness", so I'll drone away on it for months, with numerous breaks for various distractions. I think I do a more than passable P&M. Seems like that was one of the easiest for me to learn, maybe because I did it off the Huttlinger dvd. Hard Way Every Time might be the easiest out there. Figured out the intro and then just watched the Croce dvd. He recorded it with a capo, but did it live without a capo. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | I'm giving it a go. I'm working on "Born In the Sea". It's the only one in standard tuning. I also tuned one of my guitars to Gm for "A Glimpse of the Past". It's got a really cool sound.
I don't have a timeframe for finishing "Born.." but I think it's coming out nicely. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | My thoughts having listening to them (and converted the TAB to Guitar Pro)...
- Born in the Sea
Lovely, will be working on this, can pretty much play this as is just sight reading the TAB. Top tune.
- A Glimpse of Times Past
Never used this particular tuning so into the "to learn" pile it goes. Again a lovely piece, nice dischordance...
-Close to Heaven
Another tuning I've never used so into the "to learn" pile it goes.
- Desert Flower
I like to memorise all the pieces I learn, I think this falls into a slightly harder category for the simple reason it'll be harded to memorise but again --> "to learn".
- Mother's Tears
Same as Desert Flower, i.e. harder to memorise but will learn!
I would say the first three are all pretty easier and good for a beginner/intermediate fingerstyle guitarist. The last two require a little more attention but not impossible. Thanks again!!! Anymore to share? |
