The yt clip won't work for me - what's the title of the song dude?

[Toddy]

Same ere dude,,,,, no clip....

[Chrismanbass]

trick i use if a lines particularly difficult is to listen to a little chunk say one line of the verse at a time and then try to imitate it without the track and then with the track and repeat as necessary makes an impossible song into possible chunks

disclaimer i've not listened to the yt clip as it wont work for me so just some general advice

How good are your ears? Do you work most songs out by listening to them? As above, try working it out in chunks, get that down and as you go perhaps note it down if your memory isn't the best? It works for me, I like to be able to visually see what it is I am playing, helps me get the groove and feel down especially if it's in notation as opposed to tab!

better now???

This is how I do it also. With that video clip, I would work on say, the first 30 or 40 seconds. When I can play that comfortably, I move on to the next 30 or 40 seconds etc. Then amalgamate all the "chunks".

[tischbein]

I´ll try it that way.. see if I can write down some notes and get an overview of the tune, sort of like a scoresheet..

Still not workin I'm afraid

You could always download the clip and load it into VLC to slow down the video. Problem is that it'll also change the pitch.

If it were me I'd download the audio and load it into Best Practice.

or you can download the video and import it in Audacity, then you can slow it down without changing the pitch.

Does Audacity do video now then? I haven't upgraded for years.

Edit: Ah I see, it can import the audio from video files.
