Very impressive... Don't be afraid of getting in front of a mic and really blowing people away. You're good but songs like Castles need vocals. Give it a shot...you're very talented.
Wow you play that song perfectly, i was watching other people play it and no one can play it that good..keep up the good work, and if u can play stairway to heaven
Don't let any negative comments get to you...most of those fools probably didn't even know this song EXISTED at your age, let alone play it. Keep up the good work. By the time you're 22 you are going to be a first class axe.
How could i not be 'feeling it', it may not appear tho i never play with out visualising it in my mind, apart from the first verse i made the rest up on the spot, i was nevous and had glandular fever at the time, which left me little practice. Im sorry for being nervous in front of a hall of people. please do not claim "i suck" or "no emotional feeling" or crap like that, because im sick of it. Thank you for the nice comments, i really appreciate them.
I agree with Businesseb... Hendrix melodic rythm stuff like Castles Made of Sand and The Wind Cries Mary are really hard songs... And considerin he played them and sang at the same time... Very challengin...
If you really believe that then I guess you'll believe absolutely anything. So what if I said to you that someone you love dearly will die within the next three minutes unless you wear a pink bra on your head for the rest of your life? Would you do it? C'mon, man. Get a grip.
so is casteles made of snad in D or C tuing? cuz my ears pick up D my tabs say d and c. what are you playin it. it would help a beginner out. awesome cover by the way. thanks.
but im curious... does it really take six years of guitar-playing to be able to play this song? if you could guess a minimum skill for this song, what would it be (like: if i start to play guitar now, how long would i have to practice to play this song quite well?)
good lad! using the thumb! castles made of sand is one of my fav songs to play, quite fun. I dont like using the pick for this song; kind-of skip-james tech works for me.
it sounded very stiff and rushed, though it was still darn good. try playing with the tempo a little bit by dragging to add some dimension and more of that hendrix feeling to it
Really nice job man... only criticisms are that you get a little rigid at times and you tend to rush a lot of the slides, try to make em flow... but overall that was really well done
I don't get what your doing with your foot all the time, doesn't it confuse you xD? Anyway, you played very well, sounds great. Too bad the video's audio quality is so low.
it was ok,
but play a little more in time.
u seem to be going faster, then slower, and changing the tempo constantly.
