I searched for guitar covers to assist my playing style for the AM performance as the song I Wanna Dance With Somebody didn't really had much guitar presence throughout the song. So i took this guys cover and used it. Huge bonus that it came with tabs as well.

There were other great covers as well that felt were beyond my current skills

use of AI technology

I used this ai tool that separates instruments in a track to isolate the guitar on a cover for i wanna dance. I needed to learn the notes that's being played in the song and since i don't have a decent pitch to distinguish a note I couldn't figure it out by ear.

Second step

The isolated guitar stem is then loaded into FL studio's Newtone plugin which i can convert the audio data into midi sequences on a piano roll to get the notes that I'm supposed to play. An extremely long process of finding the notes to play but since i don't have a good pitch to distinguish notes from each other, this is the only way i could figure out how.

Practice tracks

What's My Age Again is a song i use to practice with to help with my picking techniques when playing broken chords and chord changes. Both skills i need to work on for the song Shut Up And Dance. Since its at a faster tempo, practicing this song made Shut Up And Dance much more comfortable to play.
