Pretty good man. I'm sure you know it's a tad sloppy but those are some tough shoes to fill.

Thanks a lot for listening !

English is not my mother language, so you could please explain what does it mean "tad sloppy"?!

It's not a criticism against you so don't take it personally. You're not hitting all the notes perfectly. It sounds a bit like you're just at the point of playing all the notes so far. You're not yet at the point that you're feeling it yet. Those things come with time.

Hello my friend, thanks for the explanation. However, I do not agree with you.

Thanks for listening and commenting anyway!

Cheers

Hmmmm - I don't know the original so maybe that's why I reckon it sounds like a pretty good 'live' sounding recording rather than a note perfect studio take...

But if you ask for people's opinions and folks far more experienced than myself give an honest appraisal, then you have to take notice and analyse the comments.

Great though - One day I'll be able to play like that....I wish, I wish....

Rock on!

That really sounds good to my ears! believe me, Hueseph had a high opinion of you :D Keep on posting! 8)

BTW Hueseph is only really critical of musicians who he thinks are really good and have lots of potential 8)

Thank you all for your comments, and for taking some time to listening to my recording !!

I didn´t want to be hard on my comments, sorry, I wish I could write it in portuguese. I know hueseph is an amazing musician, I heard all of his stuff and it is "unbelievably" great, I wish I could write music and play just like him.

I only tried to decline one of his comments, sorry guys !!! Bottom line, I like all positive and negative comments, but sometimes, I just use the right to accept them or not!!

Cheers

Man. I am about af far from awesome as garbage is to gold. I've been playing a long time and I've known some awesome musicians, but I don't claim do be any better than average. As far as criticism is concerned: that is your perogative to take it as you wish. I took no offense and I presume neither did you. This is as it should be. You play well. I wouldn't deny that. I only think you can do it much better. That is the gist of what I was trying to say.

peace

Hi hueseph,
No offenses at all, for sure. But my opinion about your music is truly.
And once again, sorry for any misunderstanding and thanks for taking your time in this topic, helping me out.
Warm regards
