Good job Andy! My only suggestion would be to lie and to say you have been playing longer. This won't help you, but it will help the rest of us Seriously, good job man!!

Thanks a million, buddy
I'm not sure why, but there's something tricky to remembering the way the song is structured. I had to think about the lyrics to finally solidify it. I still wouldn't be able to describe it with words but I have a very good picture of it in my mind.



Well when you put it that way! Heh.
Definitely! I've only been to Wisconsin for the Eau Claire Jazz Festival when I was in high school. Maybe it's time for a return to do some fishing.
I probably should learn some Java or C+ or something, seems like it's going to be a more expected thing regardless of major. For time being I'm gonna stick with Mechanical Engineering/Polymer science.



Ha! When I was 14 or 15, I was worried when I spoke with people about playing bass, that they wouldn't take me seriously because I hadn't been playing very long. Thank you for your kind words!!

I agree with kev...it's impressive after only 6 months...congrats.

Really nice, man! I'm a ways away from a performance video! Yours give me confidence I'll have one in the next few months.

Immpressive Andy, I really enjoyed that. Thanks for putting up the .pdf as well.
Your way ahead of the curve so keep it up! Looking forward to hearing more mate!.

Cheers,
Eric

Oh, I thought you were just shy. **rimshot**

Well, you could get a friend with web hosting (e.g. me) to host it for you. Honestly, I would like to see this site get an FTP server so the goodness can be shared more readily and preserved more easily.

You can always take up something like Python later, as a hobby. I got away from it as I morphed into Zombie Rob (a reference to the worst days of my chronic fatigue), but applied logic can be a fun and relaxing escape from our IQ degrading popular culture.

Great job Andy, really impressive performance regardless of how long you've been playing. I agree with all the positive comments from everyone, keep up the good work.
Nice to see the update, lets me know how (badly) I'm progressing in comparison - like Eric, I'm in my 50's and wish I'd started sooner, but I only got into playing Stick about 15 months ago. It's hard going but I can see things slowly improving

Hey Andy,

6 months, huh? DAMN! That's majorly impressive! So much good stuff going on in you rendition...great balance between left hand and right hand, tempo is consistent, the tone and general vibe really honors the original and the Tipton arrangement too boot.

Natural talent! Keep it up!

Thank you very much Alain!



Thanks! I'm gonna hold you to that.



Many thanks Eric! I'll try and produce as much as I can.



You're very much welcome to do so. Have at it! I'll try and put up something like this anytime I wind up writing stuff down and performing it. No need for someone else to learn the long way when all the work is already done.



My software engineer friend also says I should learn Python. Maybe I will sometime.



Thank you Marc. I make these videos for myself as well because I like to see how much I've grown. I just like to think people want to hear me blabber on about myself



Thanks jwanka! I'm hearing so many nice things from people and I feel so popular!!

I'm gonna learn from Greg and pull a:
completely self-indulgent and most likely unneeded re-embedding

That is very impressive for 6 months. I do not want to down play that. At the same time, I would like it even better if your LH could have some more expression like your RH does. As it is now, the LH is hitting each note with near identical attack, an important skill, but the performance might benefit from intentional emphasis instead.
