This is terrible, if the audiance is freaking it must be because it is so bad. I am sorry guy, but you are very far off on this song. If you want to hear it right listen to this guy (butterf1yz). He may be a one song wonder (I don't know him) but he nails it. I don't think that he has been playing very long by the way he talks but he blows you away and has never played in a band. Oh and in his video he is not even miked or amped. Imagine what it would sound like adding amplification.

[motorgrass]

@gunner522 All criticism welcome. That guy is awesome thanks for the tip. It just shows there's always room for improvement and the work is never finished! I play for the love of it and I'm sure not gonna stop just because someone thinks it sucks. Do you play?

[gunner522]

Ok, I might have been a little hard on you, It looks as if you have been doing this for money. If you are not getting paid please forgive me! If you are getting paid then please learn the song first, playing the song like you do is not fair to the audiance! I CAN understand artistic expression and making a song your own but many notes you play are not even correct. I do play "Mary had a little lamb" but started learning this after your last response. Expect a video response in a few weeks.



[gunner522]

Ok I AM learning this song as we speak and when I re-listen to your "COVER" version I can now hear that you play it far worse than I had first thought. There are numerous notes that are incorrect. And I am surprised that somone with your playing experience is unable to bend notes into the correct key. Oh well you can sorta do the 10 blow over blow.

[motorgrass]

@gunner522 OK dude I get it you think it sucks. Whatever! I wish you nothing but the best in your pursuit of perfection. No I don't do this for money but for the love of playing and I love making art and videos too. If that's OK. I also work 2 jobs and have a family and yeah wish I could have more time to practice more for sure! I still welcome your criticism because it ultimately makes me continue to try harder. Can't wait to see your performance.

All the best in your rise to the top.

@gunner522

It is not a 10 over blow it is a 10 hole blow bend. High end notes are over drawn and low are over blown. Bends and over blows or draws are two different animals

[shelbyvision]

good job man.

[abuligi]

horrible timing

[motorgrass]

Fair enough. Always room for improvement. I will say this that when performed live audiences still freak out over it! Love to hear your rendition of this classic challenging piece. All the best.

[tdog1601]

It is just slightly rushed in some places... But Who can honestly replicate this great song? Have you seen Adam Gussow play it.

[motorgrass]

I agree. I think Adam's playing is brilliant!

5/5 =]

[BlueStapleStudios]

Not bad... Not bad at all

[drnoturno]

wOW!!!

[MC5Rule]

The sound is pretty good, but it looks like you're harmonika-synching........if it ain't real, it ain't right .............

[motorgrass]

It is synched to my own recording as you observed which is how 99% of all music videos are made. IT IS MY OWN RECORDING OF THE SONG! That's the reality of producing videos, even cheap ones like this one. Sorry if you have a problem with that.

[MC5Rule]

Well allrighty then. These days one can't tell if something is real or totally fabricated, that's what I have a problem with.......not you.  Glad you like Geils.

[quinoacat]

Sick! You ROCK! 5/5
