PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

Buddy's post of this song a few months back really impressed me. I had some time off last week and decided to give it a try, mostly to work on strumming and practice constant right hand motion. I've intentionally played down the pulloffs to keep it from sounding like a parody of itself.

Excuse the clumsy vocal overdub, but the song lacks direction without lyrics and I'm nowhere near being able to sing it while playing (also didn't want anyone to mistake this for the Hilary Duff version).

Hi Stuart , it is very nice, the bass line is consistant and the cross picking looks good. You mention that you are working the constant motion of that rigth hand, I find that you are doing it very well.

Your singing is good too, the dubbing is certainly not clumsy to me.

Great work

Marc

I have to say I really like your rendition.

I think you sing it good. I like your voice--it seems to fit with the song.
Nice going.

Stuart that was very good. I'm not familiar with that song but to my ears the playing was pretty much perfect. Maybe one moment on one of the barre chords but other than that it was really tight and the timing was great. As for the singing, I agree with the others that it was really good and certainly fit with the style of this song. Great job! This was fun to watch and listen to.

Hey Stuart. I think Mark used the right word. It was "tight", really clean. I liked it. I also think you should work on the playing AND singing because for a range of tunes you have a killer voice. (that means good in my language...don't want to be misunderstood!).

Really liked it. Thanks for the look.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it and am glad you enjoyed the post. I'm having a great time playing it as well. Singing while actually playing is the next task to conquer. Spent some time working on it with another song today and will post that soon.
