Super impressive! How long did it take you to learn/master this one?

Thanks Daryl, I put in weeks of practice on this, it'd been so long since I'd learnt anything properly I stuck with it to the exclusion of everything else. I think that's what I need to do instead of having a few things on the go.

Wow....surely agreeing here, super impressive!!

And the guitar does it really justice, all the notes sound just gorgeous, well that's of course due to your playing as well. ;)

As for suggestions to improve, i suppose most of that would be regarding timing, which i have a feeling you are aware of already. Right hand technique, I would suggest alternating fingers when playing multiple notes on the same string.

How bout uploading it in the review channel? I'm sure Neil would love to get into it. :)

Very well done Dean, loved to hear from you!

Hi Ness, thanks for looking in and commenting; this one has a few challenges all its own: the bass notes on the off-beat, a few times you need to pinch two strings then immediately change to a three-string pinch with addition of a string missed in between - not something I've ever done (I think) and that could do with a lot of practice.
I don't normally use a metronome but I'd make an exception to tighten up the timing, for sure.

The uploader isn't working atm, so maybe another time :)

Thanks again for your feedback.

Hey Dean, nice job indeed! Looks difficult to play but sound already great... of course on the beautiful BSG it will!
Well done! Keep it up!
