I was hoping someone can help me with the lead part of this song.Just cant seam to find the right way to make it sound good.Thanks for any help at all.Kevin
Well Kevin your idea of struggling and mine are somewhat different!
My impression is that all it needs is an emphasis on certain strums. I would suggest something like this (with the bold corresponding with the heavier strum):
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
etc etc.
Of course that is just a suggestion, not THE answer.
Kev, I sure hope someone can help on this because its sounding great already. Thanks for showing us the song so far and I'm really interested to see how you solve this.
I guess Mr. Segovia doesn't give a damn!

Kevin,,what's the problem,,i do not see or hear it,,i think you play it well,,oke i try to listen a view times to your solo and tryed to follow you with the tab written by our Neil,,i come far but on the end i lose track,,,what i know is that the solo/lead is 15 and a half measers long,,does this help,,because i think realy you don't have a problem,,,
EDIT:I tryed to play along with your solo,just strumming the progression and i'm almost sure you master it well,your ending solo is nice to and at 1.57 just start the verse again..my opnion,,,,
Kevin, I know what you mean about "I can't hear or see what's going on at this point - until the end". I don't have the tab (as I'm not a TARGET member) but maybe this YT video will help you get a few more pieces.....good luck. And as a side suggestion, try recording the backing rhythm of the solo part first and then play the lead over that (it always sounds better that way).
Hi Kevin, is it because the tabs in the lesson are not correct? I just had the Guitar Pro file of the lead (there is a PDF too)playing at the same time as you and the rest of the lead section seems to be there.

Hey Kevin,,can you play along your solo with my progression,,,don't look at the beginning i messed up first,,it starts at .010 vid time,, then it went better(i think)
Tony,Thanks my friend,And if I ever get this lead part figured out I'll give that a try.
Chris,Ya kind of interested my self,After a couple of weeks on this song I would like to move it a long.Thanks
Thanks Al.Me too
Willem.Thank you,Very nice of you to do all of that.Im going to have to get the lead part learned before I can get the timing to play along.But THANK YOU!
ffsooo3,Thanks for under standing.And this could be the help I was looking for.I'll see if I can work it out with this video.Thank you.
Marc.NO NO,I'm sure the tab is right.I just cant get it to sound right by playing what i see on the paper,Thats in no way saying the the tab is wrong.Whats wrong,is with my guitar playing and my lack of tab reading.Thanks
First, while you were strumming, you had a nice relaxed feel to what you were doing. Good stuff man.
Second, As soon as you hit the lead, your playing style changed dramatically. You lost the relaxed feel and each note became a struggle for you. At least that is what it looked like.
I think you should take a week away from this song and when you come back to it, play ONLY the lead and don't worry if it sounds exactly right. Just get through it. Once you can play it, then begin to work it into the rest of the song with your strumming. You seem to be having trouble making a smooth transition from the strum to the lead and this should help.
Also, Tony has a good idea about the emphasis you put in your strumming, (or lack of it). Try playing beats 1 and 3 a bit stronger and see how that feels to you.
Daryl,Thank you sir,Just a couple of measure left to figure out.Dont think slowing it down is a big thing right now,But thank you.
Andy,Thank you,With just a couple of measure left.I'm going to stay at it for now.And yes, might have to take a couple of rest strokes,But I can see the shore from here.
Buddy,Thanks for the help.Happy anniversary to you and your wife,Your a lucky man 28 years with such a beautiful lady.By the way how did you do at your open mic night?I'm betting better then you think.
i messed up first,,it starts at .010 vid time,, then it went better(i think)
