QUOTE (Unleash-The-Shred @ Nov 13 2007, 06:15 PM) And that would be? It is too hard for all but the most skilled. Unless you aspire to be a slop artist skilled at covering up with thick backing tracks, echo, and simplifying the difficult parts, as just about all those youtube renditions that people think are so great. They are just being fooled for the most part. Very very difficult song to play really properly. Sure learn it, but it will be a long time before most here can really play it authentically well. 200bpm is just beyond the capability of all but a very few. I suggest this one instead. He has the tab on his site. http://youtube.com/watch?v=N7ICC2D_8K8 I realized that even though I could play Canon Rock at 200, and use the slop artist tactics to cover up my deficiencies and get away with it for the most part, what for? I just have to be patient, you have to be real good to really play at that speed. But "My Grandfather's Clock" is only at 176. Just took a week to learn, and now I can play along and think "well, not satisfied, but in a month or two, I will have something to be proud of". Canon rock at 200bpm? Long way off. Unless I want to join the army of slop artists as I mentioned. |

Well personally the Cannon rock thing is not for me ,i really just dont like how so many people have constantly played it.Its like a song you here on the radio and then the saying radio killed the radio star .I do like how you stated slop artist .Far to many people learn stuff like this half-*** and prefer to play something sloppy rather than slow and clean.I'm sure this at 200BPM would be a tough task and i would like to see it done clean.
