More recent and better video clips of my band playing live on Facebook Page: Faster Than Light (FTL) (Formerly Known as The Timeless Band) m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=435287285858347&id=100009587407197&mibextid=v7YzmG

Great song. I love singing it. Reminds me of my late father who loved to sail & was fascinated by astronomy and Space Travel. I live on The Space Coast of Florida and am writing a concept album for my band about Time Travel…Faster Than Light (FTL) is the name if the band and our Debut Album still in Pre-Production is: “Formerly Known as The Timeless Band”

Yay! Keep at it 🎉

Agreed, timing not spot on and you can tell because the part I’m playing is not always drowned out. Numerous things we’re going wrong that distracted me and I thought about doing another take. Also probably should have practiced more. As is iften the case, I’m receiving these videos shortly after having transcribed the parts and before I really have them performance ready fir fear I’ll forget the parts before I get them down on a vid. I almost did another take, but was pressed for time. The record I play to is my metronome.. When play to a record, I listen to the instruments I am not playing and if I can hear my part, I’m either ahead of the beay, behind the beat, out if tune or otherwise playing a wrong note.. Same thing when I play to a metronome; if I can hear the metronome, one of thise things is wrong.. unless my part reats when the metronome is clicking, I shouldn’t hear it..

Thanks!!

Hence your name…right on! Very wretched you are in deed! 😂

You are so welcome

Thnx

Brian, I appreciate your comments. First, please note I have two videos for this song: one demonstrates how to play each section without the music playing in the background; the other, I merely play along to the record. Different people respond to different types if instruction. I can take numerous different approaches to teaching the same song. The beauty of one-on-one instruction is that I can tailor my communication to the learning style of each student. Many of my bass instruction videos were designed to reach a specific learning style. How to play each individual bass part in the song is demonstrated; the song structure and exact instruction on how to play each part usually are not. Also, in earlier videos I identified the note name and string and fret location of every note played. Many people gave feedback to talk less and just demonstrate because they are used to just watching the videos and the talking makes the videos too long and distracting. As a result if your feedback, I may in the future produce different videos on the same song, taking different instructional approaches in each. My emphasis on this channel has been accurate transcriptions communicated in the shortest video I can manage. You can call or text me at (321) 506-3033. Additionally, When I can to 500 subscribers, I plan on doing much more detailed and comprehensive instruction for club members. Thank you again for feedback and for subscribing. Sincerely, Pete Guitar Martin

Thank you for the feedback!

OK-Will do that just for you…might be a few weeks. :)

Thank you.

Thank you…returning the favor!

Unfortunately, when this was turned into a short it mostly cut the view of my fretted hand (left hand out). You may get more out of the 13 minute video which covers the whole song in the first 10 minutes.

You may also benefit from my video on the musical note naming system on the guitar technique playlist of the channel.

Thank you for the feedback…some want more detail and some want less. I don’t always provide string, fret and note name, but for this short it worked out since the system edited out my left hand. Do you know if there is a way to post a short and keep it in landscape view?
