I like the face at the end.... exactly the same feeling when i try to play this tune :P

[@AtomMusicSchool]

Ha ha. It's stupid hard for grade 3. This would not be out of place in grade 5

[@xprototypegaming922]

Dude nice studio. I really like the crochets on the wall. What happened to your other studio

[@AtomMusicSchool]

Its all the same room, I just rearranged it. I think, Unless your talking about when I did videos from in the house? Not really sure. Ha haBut Thanks.

[@xprototypegaming922]

What legend he replies to every comment

[@AtomMusicSchool]

Ha ha, thanks. I really try. Feel it's the least I can do given that people make the effort to tune in.

For bar 20 on this song what fingers do you use to pick the first 5 plays. Also great vid👍

[@AtomMusicSchool]

THANKS! Ok So, start with the slide before it in bar 19 (G string 9 slide to 11), use your 3rd finger for that. Then you are in position to place your second finger on the 10 on the E string. Then slide your fingers back to the 9 on G (so 3rd finger) and and 8 on E (second finger). Then slide back again keeping your second finger on the E string for that 7 but use your first finger to play the 7 on the G string. Thats how I would play it anyway. Hope that makes sense.

You are a great guy

[@AtomMusicSchool]

y thank you, ur not too bad yourself. Ha ha.

[@BooozeGaming]

what's the selected tunes of your amp

[@AtomMusicSchool]

In terms of amp settings, to be honest I did this song ages ago, but clean sound. with a good chunk of reverb is the best bet.

The two bars at 0:30 really got me struggling

[@AtomMusicSchool]

Yeah, it's a proper hard song for grade 3. There are a few spots in this song which are really hard and quite fast.

[@xprototypegaming922]

@John I definitely agree but once you practise a lot it gets easy. These 2 bars use a lot of hammer on. The hammer on a pretty easy it’s the timing that makes this part so hard Do you have any tips on how to do the bends better

[@rajeshmandala3424]
