Phantomnin Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I think the rockschool grades have been a great way for me to learn music (I have done grades1-7 inclusive in the last three years). I've bought the new sylabus grade 8 book, but for one of the songs 'Nosso Samba' I just can't hear the upper register tapping on the coda of the fulltrack. Is it me? Or is it just mixed really quiet? Any one with a better ear than me would be a real help. Thanks Drew Oh, and the new sylabus is great and duffs the trinity rocks books out of sight.

Stuart Clayton Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hi Drew, I wrote all of the copy for the new syllabus of Rockschool books, so am pretty familiar with all of the pieces. The tapping part in 'Nosso Samba' is indeed a little quiet in the mix, but it is there. Glad to hear you are enjoying the new books, I think they contain some really great pieces! Best, Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomnin Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks Stuart, I was too used to the 'You tube' tastic in your face tapping on 'Sampa Samba' on the old grade 8 book. I guessed that might be the case....need to get better headphones, or the talent to not need to listen to the pieces as a guide when learning it. I think there was a particulalry good piece in the Grade 7 bass book. . And the copy is far more fun and far more detailed than the old 'Guru Guides'.
