Hey everybody. Finally got this thing done! hope you enjoy the extreme suckage in this video. I certainly enjoyed looking back at old me fumble through this piece. Crazy how practice makes a difference eh? Comment below if you'd like to see the practice video next, or if you have any other video ideas or questions!
Previous videos you may like to check out if you haven't already:
• How to get SUPREME lea...
• I practiced ONLY THIS ...
(Ps. I realized while editing that there is a pretty big gap between years in the recordings I included in the video. I show videos from 2020, but really nothing from 2021 or 2022. I found the earlier takes to be most interesting, but also, since I never planned on making a progression video, videos from 2022 or earlier 2023 just don't exist. I mostly recorded mock takes into Logic, to hear and study the take, and then subsequently delete. I thought I would finish. learning this song far sooner than 4 years... so... yup.)

Even at the very beninging, you're better than probably 99 percent of people on the planet mate!! You should do a duet with your brother sometime!!

@chandlerclement1365 8 месяцев назад

Inspiring! Need the “How to Practice Cliffs of Dover” video! With some tips and tricks on how the play the song in there, especially on some of those tricky parts 😁 You’re the man.

@Nickshreds890 8 месяцев назад

Yes, I too would like to see a how to practice video if you're up to it ! I think that the first thing is to slow it right down and learn each phrase one at a time. But I'm also aware that the guitar tone is really special so I'm guessing it is not that easy to dial it in.

@Fernando-du5uj 7 месяцев назад

Id love that

I've been playing guitar probably longer that youve been breathing in this planet. And haven even dared to attempt this piece... Such talent and hard work and practice, youre f-ing amazing

Hey, you can't expect perfection at the outset. The old videos are just there to show you your improvement. I'll tell you what, I hear flashes of brilliance in your early play even if you don't.

@adamhicks24 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for letting us see this man! It's definitely harder for you to watch than it is for any of us lol. Seeing the progression must be such a good feeling.

@jonasanttila 8 месяцев назад

No doubt! Yeah, it's weird to see the progression. Especially on one song like this where it's more obvious to tell.

@edzebrowski4445 8 месяцев назад

I've been playing 32 years and just started playing this song. Let me say , I'll probably be playing 36 years before I get it! Lol

I love ur critiscm, lol. But everyone goes through these steps as you know, lol. Nobody finds you embarrassing. If they do they are ignorant lol. Amazing man. That's a brutal song to learn, but so worth it

@CaptainBlackadder75 8 месяцев назад

I’m laughing and grimacing as much as you, all the while knowing it still sounds better than any attempt I could make after having played for over 30 years…😂

How about a weekly coaching session video where you teach some people how to play some sections with them on zoom.

@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 8 месяцев назад

There is hope for everyone! Unless you're like dead, or got what eric clapton has right now with nerve damage and arthritis, or you're beat deaf which happens to about 1 or 2 out of 50 people, or missing fingers, or live in gaza and you're getting bombed instead of given time to train... But aside from the obvious kind of road blocks that many have in this cruel and unfair world, it's possible to play like Eric! Great video boss. Give players like me hope that one day I will be able to play this whooole jam. I can only play lil parts of it but the whole thing? One day lol one day! Perhaps one day in like 10 or so years I'll come back here and wow you with my cliffs of dover instead of my cliffs of DOH ver lololol.

@anynhi Месяц назад

Nice work! Do you feel that your ability to concentrate is also improved over 4 years? I was able to play Cliff of Dover in the past, but I was super tired after performing it, both physically and mentally.

@jortimant 8 месяцев назад

You should do a video explaining your manifesto at 10:10

@robinnetzel5632 8 месяцев назад

Man this is so Awesome. You fucked up so often, but show us, that learning and hard work is everything. But now, you can play it like eric, or much better. Great job buddy ❤

@adamkelly6264 8 месяцев назад

yeah man I would definitely like to know how you structured your practice for this. Like did you spend much time running scales, doing exercises for string skipping and whatnot, or were you just breaking down the song into chunks and working on that? Thanks for the vid, keep em coming!

@jonasanttila 8 месяцев назад

I'll talk about it in the next vid!

@epiras9789 8 месяцев назад

I'd love to see the practice video, as well as a video about what kinds of resources that you used in prep for this song (and others). I'm thinking tabs or sheet music specifically. Thanks!

@Joe-bs9dj 8 месяцев назад

Cool cover. As a beginner this is great inspiration

@jonasanttila 8 месяцев назад

Glad to hear that!

@jeffshirkey3085 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing this retrospective on your progress. Not many people would do that and show their flaws and vulnerability. Did you ever make that "how to practice" vid? I'd like to see your routine and suggestions.

@jonasanttila 7 месяцев назад

Thanks man. I haven't gotten around to making that video yet. Busy with life you know. But recently I started brainstorming what the video would look like and the content in it. Hopefully there's a large enough interest with the people who've subscribed, and hopefully I'll be able to film it soon!

@arnold7246 7 месяцев назад

Hey man, really loved both of your cliff videos. Where did you learn this song from? Any recommendation on tabs or books that you learned this song from? Thanks a ton mate

@jonasanttila 7 месяцев назад

I learned it off a few different tab/ lesson videos on RU-vid. Some of them get some parts wrong, so it helped initially to get my bearings, but then you need to rely on your ears to make sure you're getting the right notes. I watched a ton of Eric johnson videos, both of cliffs, and just him explaining how he plays in general. And repeat these steps until you really understand the song.

@Nickshreds890 8 месяцев назад

It's actually very healthy to show that everyone makes mistakes . This shows everyone that we can achieve anything if we put our mind to it 😊

@Nickshreds890 8 месяцев назад

Your progression is very very inspiring dude !! Thank you very much for showing us your practice videos :)

@tadamoriyagi8265 8 месяцев назад

I saw your video you posted a few weeks ago and was very impressed and inspired. I did have some questions regarding your experience: 1.) Did you learn this song by ear? 2.) 4 years is a long time to devote to practicing one piece. What were your goals in the beginning? Did you achieve them, or did they evolve as you progressed? 3.) In retrospect, what were some of the benefits you gained from practicing this piece of music(or any piece of music like this) to such lengths and intensity? 4.) Were there any drawbacks? 5.)Are there any things you would consider doing differently if you had to start from the beginning all over again? I am considering taking on a project like this, and I'd definitely be interested in watching a tutorial on how to practice this song or another song like it. Anyway, awesome playing and videos and thanks for letting us have a peek into your process. Cheers!

@jonasanttila 8 месяцев назад

Wow these are all really great questions, and would really like to answer all of them. I am going to make a video on practicing at some point, and will definitely include your questions in that video because they are really good. Thanks for leaving a comment!

@Ha-fy6zv 8 месяцев назад

I didn't want to be too critical of him, but this was the absolute worst way to learn a song. Maybe it was just something he did when he was born, but if you already knew the techniques in this song, you could make short work of it with a metronome and slow, perfect practice.

@sirjavio4707 8 месяцев назад

@chuckbllrs3844 8 месяцев назад

Question for ya, regarding your improvisational skills, once you felt comfortable prior and post ClfsODvr, did it open up the fret board for you? Great improvements! And I get you on weight lifting and playing guitar, they don't go well together.

@jonasanttila 8 месяцев назад

Just gotta listen to stuff and figure out what sounds you like and then figure out how to achieve it. Also, most of the tone is in your hands, so becoming a better player helps too.
