Re: classical gas HELP !

Yep not an easy piece however, not impossible. What I tend to do is get the tab for the piece I want to learn then split it up into small sections to begin with, gradually getting bigger as the piece progresses.


Walk it through till i get the sequence and fingers right for the section I am learning then bring it up to speed, but whilst learning try and keep to the beat, just slow it down.


I normally find that once I am on the 3rd section it tends to get easier and progress is quicker. In fact I can normally finish a piece without having to look at the tab as your brain and hands get into the groove; thats what I find anyway.


Hope it helps.


Adios
