  • Hey! My name is Ava Llew. I’m a 16 year old guitarist from North Seattle and I’ve been playing electric guitar for about 3 1/2 years. I hope you enjoy my cover of Barracuda by Heart. Thank you for watching and please like and subscribe!
    I’m still learning a lot about recording and mixing the sound for my videos. As of now I’m just gonna be posting this video the way it is until I can mix my next one more professionally. Thanks again for watching!!

      @stellarmori Před 3 lety +1

      @@crisprtalk6963 maybe so. but every teacher has different methods and they use those methods because, in their eyes at least, it has been successful. perhaps that teacher had students in the past who giving a song to right away made things harder for them later. lots of teachers believe you must be good at the basics before applying them or else it'll be extremely difficult for you to break those bad happens later. many teachers also think the substance of their teaching is more important than how fun they make it, and they prefer students who are dedicated, and therefore aren't as hard to keep focused. ive never been a teacher, but i have been the student of many teachers of different subjects, especially instruments and almost all musical instructors are hesitant to teach students songs right away because they don't want them to develop bad habits that will make playing more advanced music difficult. i currently do guitar, and my guitar teacher did have me learn pieces right away. but he also doesn't want to ruin any songs for me. in fact, he just recently talked about playing barracuda as an exercise. he said, since its difficult, he wouldn't have given this one to me if i really liked it since it could have ruined the song for me. you'll know that its not at all uncommon for a musician to attempt to learn a piece that they really enjoy but is very difficult for their skill level, and ultimately feel annoyed whenever they hear that song and can never listen the same way again. ive personally experienced that so many times. some teachers are just trying to protect their students from that. if you came into the studio all excited to play a certain song, your teacher may have just been trying to protect you.
