Singing and Playing the Guitar
I been working on Man on the Moon since the guitar part is pretty simple. I got the verse down until it's pretty much automatic and singing over it wasn't too bad. I originally try to sing before the guitar part was automatic and that was tough. The last guitar part int the pre-chorus was tought to sing with and I'm pretty sure my singing syncopation is a bit off. I still make the most mistakes during the chorus, but that's probably cause I been playing that part the least.
I got Leadbelly's Black Girl down pretty good now playing in the key of E instead of D. I need record myself on this one to see if my timing is good when I sing.
I been playing and singing CCR's Who'll Stop the Rain for a while now. I'll add some fills between the verses to make it a bit interesting. I may go back to Bad Moon Raising and do the same later.
I need to go back to Bo Diddley. I've found that without listening to the song for a while, it's hard to get the jungle rhythm down. I added a rotary speaker effect and it sound more like the record.
I'm getting sloppy on Hoochie Coochie Man and Stealing. My finger picking doesn't seem to be improving much so I'll need to gave it some attention.
I started on Danzig's Mother. The only trick here is getting used to playing the syncopated chords with a down stroke. That messes up my foot tapping if I'm not careful. I'll imagine it'll take a week or two to get this down until it's automatic so I can start singing. The solos seems easy and it appears to be in B pent-minor. I'll see if I can find some time to transcribe it and I haven't transcribe anything for a couple of months now.
After Mother, I plan to go back to Back in Black. There's still one section I'm not good at and I think I should be able to sing it at the same time, too. I didn't even consider that a few months ago. Plus, I didn't do anything with the solo since I haven't learn all my minor pent positions at the time.
I been messing with Fade to Back's acoustic part now and then. I think it's becoming automatic now so that's a good candiate to sing over later.
This may be my music pipeling from now. Stage 1 is mastering the guitar part, and stage 2 is singing over it. This lets me keep 2 new songs in my pipeline at any given time.
