Pretty good but you kinda need to slow it down and inves a bit more in your rythyms. I covered this song too, on a instruments pretty similar. It's not perfect, but it might be a little helpful with the rythym, if you feel like watching.
Too fast! don't rush a good thing. the mandolin has a nice ring to it. are each of the 8 strings tuned to a different note, or are there 4 doubled strings?
I play mandolin too, and so I just wanted to offer a compliment.
If I could suggest trying out a thicker pick? I use Dunlop 207 Jazztone picks. They change the sound of my playing in a big way, filling in lot's of bass and sweetening up the high notes on my mandolin. Worth buying.
It helps me to slow down and count the rhythm out while playing through the chords a few times, then picking the lead notes, and back to chords. Or use a metronome.
You made this classic song sound like a soundtrack for a video game. It's time to hang up your joystick buddy boy. You need to practice and play the "full" chords required of this piece and not these single note abominations.
nice job man, can tell youve played this lot. trying to learn myself,so slow down a bit and show the fret a little closer up. help a brother out! (nice poster, by the way--get a record player so you can listen to those albums)
You're playing it a little bit too fast but that's really nice though, keep it. And by the way, what is this mandolin? I've never seen any looking like this one, looks like custom work isnt it?
Yeah, chill out and let the chords out?

Please invest in a metronome. The song does not get faster as you play it....

Slow down! Listen to the notes. They're very expensive so treat them that way. Otherwise, nice job.
