Queen - We Will Rock You on solo acoustic guitar

[Larsis]

Hello everyone,

I'm a fingerstyle guitarist from the Czech republic and I'm trying to spread my music more I found this forum focused on an acoustic guitar, which is great! So I allow post here my last music video. This is my own arrangement of We Will Rock You by Queen. First time with my new guitar and first time with my new microphones. Still not satisfied with the sound though :/ Enjoy and let me know, what I'm doing right or wrong and what improve

That was really well done!!

Nice! I think you can find lots of good advice on this forum from credibly qualified people, but I think not being satisfied with how something sounds is good. It motivates you to make the next performance better, and you can still be proud of the video you made as it is.

You're absolutely right about that. A one should never be satisfied, there is always so much to learn.

That is really cool! How the heck did you record that first part where you are walking and playing? What is your recording setup for that? I would like to walk and record myself singing and playing a song.

Of course, I recorded it at my home studio and than play it through playback I recorded it with condenser microphones + mic in my guitar, so I can get that kick drum sound. But filming the video was funny, when I had to walk so straight as possible and play it to right time

I couldn't figure out how you did it, because your timing seemed perfect, it looked like you are playing it!

[Larsis]

I was playing it I always synchronise the sound with the video. It looks synchronized because of a metronome.

I thought that was pretty cool and inventive! nice guitar too!!

Nicely done, and thanks for the explanation.
I kept trying to figure out how you were able to get such articulate percussive sounds while walking.
Bravo!
