How to play Broken Mirror-Guitar Tutorial
I had a couple of questions about how to play/tune Broken Mirror on the guitar, which I find both flattering and surprising...
I have never tried to do a tutorial video before and this was the only take so I hope it is not confusing! Please let me know if/how I could make this easier to learn.
The important thing is that I am in Standard tuning, but I always tune my guitar down two steps, so instead of the top and bottom strings being "E", they are both "D".
I realized afterwards that I should have just put a capo on the 2nd fret so that all of you who tune your guitar normally (which I guess is probably everyone except me!) could match the key, but alas hindsight.
Also as I mention in the video, I am self-taught and do everything by ear. I realize that not everyone has this approach, but I would encourage anyone picking up any instrument that as Duke Ellington said, "If it sounds good, it is good". So remember that there isn't really any secret to music; you can do anything that sounds good to you.
There is no one above you, there is no one better than you, there is no authority that has to approve your creativity!
Thank you all very much for all of the kind words.
I hope I can come up with something for next week!
Peace
I was jamming with your song on my guitar in standard tuning even though you were tuned down. We sounded good together.
As the man said "Turn On, Tune Down, Jam Out" !
is that a towel in there? what the heck is that for?
I suggest using pitchlab it's an app
what I use to tune mine very easy
how you can make it a lot easier? please post the notes and the chords ;)
possible?
Not sure if I will get around to trying to do chords/notes, I do it all by ear and i think my brain might implode, but if I do another one of these I will try to think of ways to show the chords more clearly
My guitar needs a fair amount of work including a total fret job. The towel is one in a series of things I am trying to improve some elements of the sound caused by fret issues,etc Eventually I hope to get a new ax
peace
I see
I forgot, you mentioned you're self taught sorry about asking for that

maybe you should play for the guitar contest luzcypher is running now :)
