Running Jim's mp3 (thanks a million!) through a little Mac based program called Audacity made the difference. It lets you easily change tempo without changing pitch. Slowly things down about 35% made all the difference. Luckily, being a slow bues to begin with, the piece still sounds OK even at that pace. Audacity is freeware and works great; I'm sure there are many apps like it on the PC side. It's definitely worth hunting one out. :) If it's the Audacity we all know and love, it runs on Windows and Linux as well! I use it to edit the audio files I use to create mp3s for my lessons here at GN, and I know many folks here at GN are Audacity users...]]> Guitar Noise Lessons dsparling https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/acoustic-blues-in-standard-tuning-2/paged/2/#post-194015 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/acoustic-blues-in-standard-tuning-2/#post-193952 Thu, 17 Aug 2006 20:20:30 +0000 I find that the only problem with this lesson is that the timing is not notated, and and I had to take some significant time to figure out on what beat the notes were being played, where there were triplits and so forth. Though it is a good learning experience trying to figure them out! I think that I have got most of it (with the help of the mp3) but I am sure that I have a few mistakes yet. However, it is slowly coming together and starting to feel 'bluesy'

Thanks for the awesome lesson, it has sparked me to get back into learning the blues! I loved this lesson and was determined to learn it, but I struggled with the timing as well.
