Lesson 52 Tuesday 21st January 2014

This week I had been practising a lot on the Intro from Oasis "Wonderwall". It has been a real pain as I would practise it every day. But come practise the next day I would forget everything and it would sound rubbish.

So the start of my lesson we had a look at Oasis "Wonderwall".

My first times at doing this would fall apart when I would get to either the chord Dsus4 or the start of A7sus4.

As the first part was going OK my teacher decided it was best to focus on the second part.
The second part I kept adding in too many down strokes when I would get to the A7sus4. After a few false starts I did start to get it. We then put both bits together and I did actually play all the way through it. I played it a few times to make sure it was not a fluke. Even though I did get to play through it a few times it was not flowing for me at this moment in time.

We then looked at starting a new song again by Oasis called "The Importance of Being Idle".



We just started off with the intro.

My teacher showed me how it was done with the palm mute.

My first go at it I could get the first Am but the second section I was putting in too many down strokes. Also the change to the Em was not very quick. The Am chord also was not clean as I kept on muting the second string with I think finger three.

When I got home that night I played my new bit I had learnt and asked my wife if she knew what it was. She had not idea. Looks like I need to practise more on this then.
