Hows my Roman Sky? Minus the intonation

[Andrew Fernandes]

I actually think for once my timing was good, the only downside is my stupid acoustic guitars intonation sucks ass.
Also I play the c chord as a normal chord instead of power chord should i not do this because i want it to ring out and hammer on on the 1 fret e and then pick 1 fret b, should i not play like this? For once in my life I actually played in time or surprised myself with better timing at least. :'(

its sounds pretty nice, but i think you should sustain more the open D and the first notes, and try to lower the attack on the last notes.
Just add some reverb and the harmonies on the second guitar and youre set

It sounds good, although I think you ought to slow down a little. It’s surprising how different yours sounds from mine! I play the whole c chord too and prefer it for its wholesomeness haha. Also, something else I do that I like the sound of, when I play the 3rd fret of b right before the c-chord, I kinda give it a pull off effect by immediately switching my hands into the c-chord position such that my index is now on the first fret of the b and (5p3) pull off is created. I found your switch just a tad bit abrupt but maybe that’s only because I’m used to listening to it in the manner I play it in and it’s just a bias, but nevertheless, it sounded really good
Hope that made sense haha

If your timing has improved then that’s all that really matters! Everyone is always welcome to do their own interpretation of the song no matter what it is. I think this sounded great Andrew, congratulations on your timing improvement! But I do agree that I think it could be slow down just a little bit to get a little bit more of a free flowing feel

 

[Calvin Phillips]

think you should slow it down just a tad. I feel you’re rushing it. Embrace the riff. That riff is the entire song. Gives me chills everytime.

 

[Jen Hapke]

It’s so weird. I thought that you should slow it down, too. And than I listened to your version and the original at the same time and the timing seemed right. I’m confused.

@Jen sometimes it happens that you think it is not That fast because of rests in between notes and lengths of the notes but the tempo can be actually pretty fast even though it doesn’t always seem that way. Hope that explains it at least a little bit.

 

[idssdi]

Sounds great Andrew!

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

@jen yes i played to the original and original bpm metronome, i think people are confusing my tempo with the grammy performance one which is slightly slower.

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

@ids thanks! but dont you think the notes arent in tune i think i need to fix my intonation.w

 

[idssdi]

Yeah but you said don’t mind the intonation so you said it yourself already and figured I was not gonna say stuff about it.and the timing and tempo was great so..

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

@ids Thanks! I think now I need to play it more fluid perhaps, less like a robot.

Andrew that’ll come in time with practice
