Amazing video, but I have to point one thing out. It's so funny. Being from America, the connotation that the latest fashion trends have given Ugg boots makes it absolutely hilarious to see a grown man wearing Uggs. Needless to say, your guitar playing is phenomenal.
Yeah I'm not sure what the fuss is about with ugg boots, I've had that pair for 15 years...they are just big warm comfy boots, when did they become a fashion accessory?! :)
I was reading what you were sayng about thumb independency (which I already know about but, thats beside the point) and I was just thinking that I was lucky to have learned freight train by tab before I knew about it because I could do it when I was done.
It sure helped alot on learning day tripper/lady madonna, though truth be known I'm not quite done learning the whole thing.
Once you have achieved "thumb independence" it will seem reasonably easy. I've been playing for a long, long time.
Note: thumb independence = ability to play something with the thumb seemingly independent to what the fingers are doing. It's a bit unnatural at first and requires a bit of practise, but there is nothing sinister to it. Simply play the notes really slowly and force your fingers to do as they are told! You are already your way being able to play freight train.
Well done - you've got a nice flow and the bass line stands out well. Work on playing the melody with greater emphasis and clarity. Slow it down a little if need be. Too many people trying to sound just like Tommy. This is a sad love song, after all. Better to play slower with greater precision than faster and sloppily. Check out Ed Gerhard's work and see how skillfully he brings out a melody. Keep up the fine pickin'!
awsome boots hahahahahaha

"It's obvious you love to play."
Dumb comment. lol.
Can't get as good as you ARE unless you love to play. LOL
I like watching your left foot too. Half way thru you bring it closer.
It's easier to keep the rhythm but when more concentration's needed you still stopped tapping. I dig watching body language too. :)

When I saw the Uggs, I thought A, U.
What JDC57 said sounds good even tho I know nothing about music; I only what I like ... and I liked that.
You put some nice individual variation into it too. It's obvious you love to play.
