Really rough In your atmosphere cover. I was gonna spend all day trying to get it perfect so this is an okay take I had recorded. Be as critical as you would like!
Love it bro! Keep it up. Also, don’t worry about getting the “perfect” take. I’m actually really glad you posted this. In the past, I’ve focused on the results more than I was on actually developing my skills which would cause me to get upset and disappointed when I would mess up a take, when I really just should’ve focused on the practicing and then show the results when they got there. Don’t let it ruin your attitude behind getting the perfect take, because then that’ll make you start to dread practice, I’ve experienced it. Just practice hard and the results will come when they come.
A lot of times when I used to post, I would know what I needed to fix, but just brush it to the side for the sake of getting a video out for feedback. Not saying that’s what you’re doing, just don’t want you to fall into the same trap I fell into. There is no “perfect” take. Just try to do your best, and you then submit it for feedback. Over time the bottom level of your playing will get higher and your ceiling will also increase.
Love this song by the way. I was just listening to John cover this at his LA concert in 2007, and I think it’s in my top 5 JM songs!
Love that you’re jumping into this tune cause I love it and I learnt a lot from playing it (I still have a lot of work to do). Your falsetto was great during oo section and you’re doing so well connecting to the vocal rhythm! Basically copy paste the way you learn the vocal parts and apply it to the guitar part. Sing the guitar part to get the groove tighter and use tabs as a reference but try to trust your ear.
Record yourself and play back the guitar playing at the same time as John Mayer to compare your progress and where you need more work.
