RE: HIVE OPEN MIC Week 133 (ENG/ESP) (Theme: Opportunity) - "Field of Opportunity" by Neil Young!

in Hive Open Mic • 3 years ago

Always dropping some really good covers. That fingerstyle picking is so good! Show me those tricks. 😅 I'm very lousy fingerstyle player.

And that voice, well, I'm also really bad singer. But for sure if you record a lot of covers, I'd binge that through a whole weekend without stop.

Nice choice for developing the theme of the week!

Thank you so much! I always try match the theme closely if I can find a song, even if it means learning how to play it quickly as was the case here! Otherwise, what's the point of the theme? Hahaha!

The guitar sound is from my right palm being placed so that it is slightly muting the strings on the white bridge of the guitar, and from alternating the bass string that my thumb plays!

I actually post a lot of music on the Music Community as well, both original songs for the current Hive Music Festival, and covers. I have actually started a weekly post where I ask for cover requests from whoever happens to find the post. If I pick your request I share the post rewards with you! I find I am getting better at learning the essence of songs quickly as a result! Here's where to make requests this week: https://ecency.com/hive-193816/@jasperdick/bblgiaga

That's a great thing! I always try do the same or stretch the theme to make it match the songs I'm learning.

Oh, cool, that's some pizzicato style to make the guitar sound a little bit muted. The alternative bass is on point.

I'll see what's that about on a moment. Sounds really interesting.
