You possibly couldn't have destroyed andy's own music because you are missing something and that is the feeling towards the music. Really, if you hadn't seen his new DVD release, it is top notch. But you really did do good on the song though, just wouldn't compare to andy.
I agree on this comment. i am sure you have played this song over and over so you have it 'mastered.' Just make sure to add emotion to the song. Even if it means the timing is slightly off. I feel interpretation is sometimes better then perfection when playing other music
I love this song... I wouldn't say you butchered it, because you did quite well. But you can get there if you keep practicing. I'm working on Drifting and Dreamcatcher right now, this one's next on the list.
dude i respect you for taking it up again, if i knew how hard it was to learn i wouldnt have even started. lol i get sweaty hands as well ocasionaly, dw with time you come to relax and just feel the instrument. kl, rock on!
im not saying its bad but i gotta question? Why did you put something on youtube when you yourself know its bad and even admit it? wouldnt you want to perfect it first?
i know your not trying to be cocky and say destroy like did better so im not mad atcha for trying it man thats a hard song to play and your really good hes just a beast to compare too.
Definitely a good effort! I agree with cheesy- you might want to rename your video because people are misconstruing the title as being cocky and I don't think that's what you intended for it to be. Keep it up with the guitar though!
Thanks to everyone for the good feedback. I didn't mean to be cocky at all, in fact the opposite, after watching covers by Elviolli I almost didn't post this!
I can't get the fingering (or the notes) on the tapping portion right, as I'm about 95% sure that Andy (and Elviolli for that matter) play something completely different than what is in Andy's tab's.
That was amazing. You're a great guitarist, dont put yourself down. You didn't destroy the piece, you made it your own, very clean, nice sound. Keep it up! Make more video's please!
I was expecting much worse than this. So I give a thumb up!

Not to say it wouldn't be awesome if I had, or after I had, or anything.
