Hi again! At last I've found
some time to record new stuff.
This time I wanted to perform
my version of Stu Hamm's 'Flow
My Tears (The Policeman
Said)', a true favorite from
my bass hero. I just cut some
repetitons since the tune
tends to become boring with
the bass alone (The original
recording has additional stuff
played by other instruments
that allows for repeating the
bass part many more times).As
usual, this version is far
from perfect. Hope that you
Stu fans come up with a much
better version. That's why
I've included some
explanations at the end of the
video. The biggest problem in
this performance (Aside from
not having at least one
thousandth of Stu's musicality
in his playing) is that
HORRIBLE URGE OF RUSHING IT
BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF HITTING
A WRONG NOTE, which becomes
very evident in the tune's
second section, from 2:52 (I
didn't want to use a metronome
for playing this). Something
to work on. It's interesting
to notice how speed helps to
hide some potential problems
like notes out of tune because
of unintended string bending,
as you'll notice in the
explanation (The G note played
with my right hand's index
finger starting from 5:58
sounds out of tune because of
that).Again, I plugged my
practice amp's line output
into my sound card and then
replaced the live audio track
(from the camera) with the
resulting wav file from the
direct signal. No effects were
applied aside from normalizing
the track to 96%.Mistakes
aside, hope you find this
effort useful. Thanks for
watching! :)
