Great cover - only comment I'd make is to increase the slider on your sound board for your guitar output as it's getting drowned out by the bass and Les Paul. It's always a sad day when a Strat gets buried in the sound of other instruments. Remember that Holly put the Strat on the Rock 'n Roll map; it was the biggest feature of his sound, and you're good enough that yours should be featured, not relegated to equal sound status.
And by that I meant his voice is identical to the way Buddy sounded on live concert recordings! (I know some of the guitar riffs were off..but, the voice was dead on!)
I wrote a script, years ago, Lynne Harper missing Canadian, and Georgina Jackson, JW, raped and murdered a few years later. Anyways, the scene opens in the winter, March ?03, in Canada, and as the camera zooms into the restaurant where Georgina worked as a waitress, the opening song was "That'll Be the Day", patrons are dancing and for a moment they include Georgina as a trio, "That'll be the Day."
Even though the sound quality is absurd for the video, your performance was great. When you hit that part of 1:49, I just had to give you five stars. Nice job!
2in away from a stage dive! Great job!
