Way to go Juan!!! Excellent job. It's good to hear that metronome going in the background. They are a little hard to get used to at first, but they make a huge difference. Thanks for posting your video.

You did a fine job again on that one Juan. The tempo looks very good against the metronome.

Great video

Bravo Juanlla, a bit more practice and you'll be playing without the metronome. Sounds good.

Juan,

That sounded great! Very steady, very smooth.

Nice work.

Very tough song to keep steady and even- especially with a metronome! Well done.

I did an upload comparing using your index finger (as you do) vs.using your thumb as an alternating bass, as Neil suggests. Using your index finger is working for you.

One thing you might want to check is your fingering in the 14th measure (and when that measure is repeated). If you're following Neil's tab- he plays an open D in the bass. You seem to play an open A there.

Sounds great. Neil says over and over again that it's important to practice with a metronome, yet I rarely do so. This song is particularly suited to the metronome, though, as the original recording has that metronome like sound, whatever it is. It makes that pause in the song a bit more difficult to negotiate, but managed to play it very nicely. Well done.

Juan,

I was having issues with the video on this but the audio came out great. Nice work with the metronome. Your playing was very steady and clear from what I listened too. In another week or so you'll be playing this one in your sleep. Great job.

Very good job on a demanding song, Juan. I really enjoyed it.

This may be a symptom of recording without microphones, but I had trouble hearing bass notes. I know they were there, because I could see your thumb working the strings, but I could rarely hear them.
