That's the bass part, right? Actually just a section of the bass part, if I recall correctly. Notes are clean but the timing seems a little askew. I tried keeping a steady beat to it, using your first few notes (not counting the misstep in the very first one) as a template and you consistently gained a fraction of a beat with each pass of the progression.
But that's something everyone goes through. You might want to try practicing a while with a metronome or counting out loud. I know, from another post, you don't like to count out loud, but when it comes to working out a timing, that's what you'll find seasoned players doing in order to get their timing straight.
It's coming along, though.

Yeah, if you've got a drum machine, try playing it to that. That will perfect your timing, and make it more interesting to listen to. But you did not do a bad job at all, really pretty good.
Now if you really want something worth recording, add the drum machine AND learn to sing the song. Then you will have something. :twisted:

thanks for the video link, cause before that I had no clue what dereckslide was playing.
dereck s...dude, you need a beat behind our practice sessions. your playing is has no bones the way it is.
the timing is not there, the feel is not there. get a beat going and try. it will make a difference and set you on a better path from the one you are on.
