I can’t do the solo thingy without a pick (and it’s kind of hard to grab a pick to do it and then toss it away during the rest), but I’m plodding ahead steadily otherwise!

It isn’t that hard. I’m using GuitarPro and slowing it down to 50% speed. I expect speed will build up on itself over time.



Half a year, and still not there! 2 years ago

Boy, looks like the first verse sounds ok if I play it at snail’s pace. That’s as far as I’ve gotten. Hmmm. It will be weeks before I mark this one done.

Its a crowd pleaser



It's a great song. I love playing it. 3 years ago

It’s not that hard just keep at it, it will come.

I am half way done!!

Update

The rest is similar enough to the first half. I have committed most to memory, but I still have to practice before I know it by heart.



First hints of progress 3 years ago

I wasn’t able to read tablature correctly until I used the powertab software which was recommended in a comment .. and I’ve gotten to where I can play a line :)



Introduction 3 years ago

The “learn to play this song” are easy goals…and I feel like I am cheating a bit by doing them. Probably because I feel like a goal must require work and work cannot be fun. But I am over it. I should enjoy doing these…and they are good fillers.



just a little trick... 3 years ago

go to www.powertabs.net and download the tabbing program off there. Then download the tab for your song. Using the software you can see exactly what you need to play and when because it plays the tab and follows it along on the screen. Good for those times where you have a tab, but have no idea how it fits in with the song.

I went looking for tabs on the web and found this neat set of handwritten notes and tutorials! http://www.highcountryguitar.com/tearsinheaven.htm
