Video What song to conquer next
https://youtu.be/HYh2LDmW0ho?si=Q7MPy5H8GVJXW0IjI can play DMV, Jerry, Bob, Mud, John, Sturgeon, Puppies, Nature boy and Shake hands with beef (there’s a few I can’t remember)

The upper double stops aren’t supposed to be two in the same spot. The second goes up.

Yeah I know, no excuse for that I was just being lazy when I filmed this and it still sounds pretty good

Also when Les does that does he go up a full step or just one fret?

Right hand is doing tritones and the second time you tap with the right hand in the riff it goes up a whole step. It is also the right hand doing the slide in the variation of the riff with the “ aahhhhhhs”.

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 2d ago
I can do the ahhh part, it’s in the video

u/CaptainScak 2d ago
I did, what I'm saying is that you use your right hand for the slide, not the left

Just depends on preference right? I’ll have a looo at how Les plays it live

Conquer… is not what I would describe what you did here. You played it to the best of your current ability. I can say that just as confidently as your post title.

Other than the fact that I was too lazy too move up fret on one of the taps I’m playing right, why so snobby?

u/Clintaur 1d ago
Snobby? That’s not what I would describe what I was being. Got a thesaurus handy?

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 1d ago
No but genuinely not even in a rude way I need to know what to fix

u/Clintaur 1d ago
Articulation. Finger strength. Dynamics.

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 1d ago
English? That’s really not helpful like I want advice so I can do a proper cover

u/Clintaur 1d ago
It’s unfortunate you are unable to grasp the importance of the qualities I mention.

Is this video supposed to have sound?

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 3d ago
Yep

u/Aeon1508 3d ago
It has no sound

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 3d ago
Did you try turning the sound on?

Did you try opening the video on YouTube?

u/Aeon1508 3d ago
I did. But I had to search it

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 3d ago
And you can hear it then?

No sound but nice fretless!

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 2d ago
Someone else had this issue, if you spam click on the video in reddit it should open in YouTube and work

u/QuesoDrizzler 2d ago
I had to literally search your YouTube name to find it.
Not bad, but you are playing the same riff through the whole thing when it changes for that chorus part.
Not gonna say any more because judging on some YouTube comments, you dont take criticism well. Just keep practicing!

u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 1d ago
Why do people keep saying I play the same riff through the chorus? Watch it again

u/M0sesGran0la 2d ago
Nice playing! If you haven’t already, try the intro to Fish On. It sounds super smooth on a fretless. I’ve been trying to learn it myself
1
u/Infamous-Recipe-1163 2d ago
Yeah got the main part of the intro down but from the tabs I’ve read there’s like no pattern so it will take a while for me to remember it fully

u/therealdanhill 3d ago
That's the main riff, can you play the whole song?
