![]() ![]() Many of its backing musicians also appeared on Young's 1972 album Harvest. ![]() But, as I've said before, it may take a very long time but I'm not giving up yet.Harvest Moon is the 19th studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on November 2, 1992. Just pieces, and I know there's a whole.somewhere. I know that so far, when I make a bit of progress, I quickly get frustrated because nothing seems to actually come together. Perhaps I need to experience it more through practice. I still don't truly understand, regardless of how much I read about them. I'm just figuring out what rhythm, melody, chords, keys, etc really mean. I'll probably do both, in staggered chapters. The latter seems more efficient at this point. I do have a choice.to build a foundation of old time music (which I ultimately want to play) while learning to play it or learn to play by working from the foundation I already have of the music I grew up with. What I think is that the advice you mentioned above is an excellent way for me to bridge the gap: I will be listening to the music as a conduit to learning to make it, in real time. It's exciting but, honestly, overwhelming. For me, having at most a 3rd or 4th grade musical education, never having been exposed to the process of actually creating or analyzing music, this is all brand new. By that I mean learning to play, learning to listen, learning the theory. I suppose there are many, many ways to learn music. ![]() Rick, thanks for that-you have articulated exactly what I'm just beginning to figure out. As you progress you can incorporate your bum-diddy into the tune using chords, and with more experience you will learn to insert melody notes, and when you get more advanced, you could even get your bum-diddy to incorporate all or most of the melody. It will help you get the rhythm of the song and help you realize when chord changes occur. In your other thread about Beginner Practicing several people mention just strumming the chords to songs as a learning experience. Once you have the chords you and your buddy can start out with the strumming and develop it further with experience. There are several sites on the internet that will give you basic tabs or chords for a lot of the songs from the folks you mention. But neither tab is a presentation of the melody. The other, by the "other" Rick above, nicely includes the plunky backup banjo that is heard on Young's original. One just sort of gives a rolling backup that could be played along with a guitar strum and singing. There are two tabs of Old Man here in the archives. This would be the same for most of his music as well as most of the others you name and countless others. He is singing the melody but playing chords and hitting some of the melody notes within them, but he is not simply just playing the melody. Neil Young is doing the exact same thing in his original. I may be hitting some of the melody notes here and there because the melody can usually be found in chords. When you are interested in tunes from the above folks, Taylor, CSNY etc., if you find any tabs they are probably just going to be for the a chordal accompaniment.Īs an example, in my MP3 of Old man and the video I made that I referred you to, I am not playing the melody. ![]() For example, for scruggs type picking, the melody, or at least part of it, will be incorporated into various roll patterns where the melody is surrounded by other fill-in notes for melodic picking it will basically be all melody notes for clawhammer it will be the melody incorporated more or less into the bum-diddy rhythm. Most tabs you'll see here are trying to convey the melodies of tunes. I'm guessing you're probably not going to find a lot of banjo tabs here or anywhere of songs from these groups. A lot of songs from this era I can most definitely HEAR in my head, but I have no idea how to figure out how to play them". You mentioned in your other thread about adapting songs to clawhammer that "Our musical interests intersect with Neil Young, James Taylor, CSNY, CCR, etc. Hey Bryan, just a few quick notes that may or may not clarify some stuff for you. ![]()
