Weaning yourself off of the tab should be one of your main goals. By doing that your ear will improve as well as your understanding of the fingerboard.

I am working on Candyman too. A wonderful tune to play..and the melody always puts me in a good mood. Not quite under my fingers yet, but soon.

I can play the tune through okay and I can play the "extras" version ok. But the extras version as written sounds very different by comparison. I have to work with it more. Not sure where C licks or extras are incorporated into the main tune

Quote:
Each C lick takes up either one or two measures to play. Find a place in the main song that has a C chord for that same amount of time and try sticking a lick in there instead. When taking a solo I'll sometimes play 4 measures worth of licks before moving on to the F chord. If its a verse that I sing ill usually plug in the C licks during the two measures immediately following the vocal part.

I'm still going well.
Trying to mix and match from the licks and Candyman as well as different shape E licks. I'm tempted to use a metronome or even a basic rhythm track. What do you think? |

Rhythm tracks will help you in a number of ways. You'll develop a sense of how to fit your licks in pre-determined amount of measures without getting lost while getting a feel of how to improve your phrasing.

Mornin' all. Toby - working on the 2nd lesson of the E pack. Looking at the 3rd measure, E note on the 2nd fret of the D string (on the 3 & beat.) Do you catch it with you 1st finger or come down and catch it with your thumb? It seems a bit awkward trying to mute the 6th string with my palm and bringing my 1st finger up to the D string. Something I just need to get used to? Thanks, Rob.
