Maybe that was just the initial reactions, but I remember seeing the music discussion thread around the release of the second singles set and everyone being all "meh not as good as first etc etc blah".
That might've changed since then, or that was just the vocal minority, I dunno. If that's the case, though, then cool! |

I think I overall like the S1 songs better, but mostly just because Gita ni Kubittake, Heart Goes Boom and Girly Storm Shissou Stick are so damn good. But I think Mugi and Azusa's S2 songs are stronger, and the side character songs are a little better than their S1 counterparts as well, in my opinion.

Yes, LightMusicBand, I can see your point of view there. I don't care if it takes me forever, I will do what I like. But I won't be covering their songs and putting it in youtube. I don't think I can handle criticisms that good :P
wow, that was a really great cover BigSmokeDawg. Say, may I ask the teachers something, though not really related to tabbing. How do you learn those fast licks? I mean, do you start slow and clean, then move up to speed, maintaining cleanliness, OR go full speed on the start, and try to polish from that speed. Sorry for derailing the thread. But I have no one to teach me all these. Gomene... |

On another note on that, my ex-bandbuddy would actually pound away at the 1/16 notes and if he messed up, he'd go right back to the start again. (It got really annoying) |

Yeah, it's all about being as relaxed as possible. Chappers does an awesome video on it on Youtube:
at around 1:45 or so If you want to get playing solos and stuff then go ahead and learn some of these scales on here: http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/guitar_scales.php Try things like the A Major pentatonic and stuff, and get used to going up and down them. Pretty much every solo with use scales in some way or another, so the earlier you get used to them, the better.

Always start slow and speed up from there. This is a fundamental of practicing music. Start at a speed which you can fluently play, then increase your speed. If it's a really tough part, you might be going crazy slow, if it's a pretty easy part, you might be going just about full tempo. Once you're comfortable with that speed, increase it again. If you get bored, go ahead and try playing it faster but don't make a habit of it. Start off too fast and you run a high risk of leaving messy playing and uneven tempo in there because you never had time to concentrate on how you were playing.

WOW o.o
Thank all of you for the huge comments a the amount of help. I am the only one with actual experience, I've been playing the bass for 2 years now (K-ON got me into it), my Keyboardest and Guitar keep swapping instuments because they are trying to figure out which one is easier for them. We started with Fuwa Fuwa Time because it is probably my favourite one and they seem to like it so we stuck with that but we can only get about 30 seconds into it as a group, but i have memorized the song on bass so i can really help them out with their parts because I have all of th K-ON! albums on my computer. I also really think that Tenshi ni Fureta Yo is a really nice song and I'm gonna try to get them to play it with me but they seem to have an interest in it so we are gonna go from there and all of your help is going to help guide on our way to completing a song together You can call me Telephone if you like. |

Oh but I think your current vibrato works for acoustic/classic...not sure though.
I've just learned vibrato last year and wasn't able to refine it yet (I don't have much time XD). Well just as long as you're doing vibrato with your wrist, you're doing the right thing. Bending vibrato is much much trickier XD but it's still using the same technique. Anyway, I hope I can have time doing covers ><

If I recall correctly, side-to-side vibrato is preferable for acoustic or classical guitars because bending the strings on those things is damn hard. But on an electric guitar you get get much wider and easier vibrato using the bend technique.

Yeah, I can only do half-bends on acoustic/classical.
Does anyone know of a video where it clearly teaches the correct left-hand posture while scaling? I believe that I'm not doing it right because it's a bit stressful when I'm running through all the strings (eg. Guitar ni Kubittake intro riff)

oh yeah, I would also like to know this one as well. I think I remember a youtube video saying you have to keep your fingers in your left hand almost perpendicular to the strings, but the hard part is when you go down the strings, the fingers gets fewer space to spread out, so they slant out on the strings. I have a bad habit of doing it, which I assume is bad... Hahaha, I'm just dropping by on this page... (I actually sneaked out of my morning duties to go to town to be online). And even here, the connection is bad. (especially on youtube). OK, so back to reality... damn vacation...

Hey, I need a bit of help.
I'm almost ready to find my Pasadena Fwy cover, but the tab on here doesn't have the part at the very end. I've had a go at working it out myself and I can't seem to get it :/ Can someone with a little more experience have a go at it for me? 1:53 on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkfC9zpr-G4

hmmmm, I remember there was tabs for Pasadena FWY made in this forum. I searched for it, but unfortunately the file was lost... I have to find it in my "archive" and upload it in mediafire, so here it is:
Pasadena FWY INCOMPLETE VER. Sorry, that's the best I can come up with... Well, I won't be doing K-On song covers anytime soon until i could settle a little "argument" that's been going on. Plus, I got other things "lined up"... Hope this helps...

Yeah that's the tab I'm using. :/ I'll get my teacher to have a go at it, he'll probably get it in like 3 seconds lol
I have worked out many of the missing parts for the tab though, mainly the missing rhythm guitar section. I'll have a go at sorting it out myself when I've covered it.

Oh, could I get some help here... I've been looking at this part of the tabs for a long time now, and I'm really confused. I mean, does this say that I have to do a full bend on the 11th fret on the first string? I mean, I can't bend the full string downwards, and if I do bend the first string upwards, it will also bend the 2nd string... So, whatdo you think? An I reading it correctly?... Though not k-on related, but it's still anime music close to k-on... (you know this song well, deng17)
thanks...
