Pretty good, but you might want to check some of those bass notes. They're almost always the root and the 5th underneath the melody on the higher strings, but doesn't look like you're doing that in a lot of cases,

I probably shouldn't be saying anything considering I can't play this song as well as you are in this video, but...... :)

@tonusaitis

thanks. yeah not sure about changing it. haven't played it in years, but this is how it's transcribed in Steve's book, so that's how i learned it. The hardest thing with this piece is getting the feel right...especially in the clipped, hiccuppy kind of rhythm in the main riff. tough to do.

as such of an array of musici and styles you've excecuted, you are one of my favorite you tube artists. would love to hear a atleast 12 of yer faves done in studio. and that goes for covers, because i love to do the same.it' not just replicating but showing homage to that artist that inpired you......PLEASE PLAY ON!

Some people will kill me for saying this I"m sure...But this is actually a superior version to the original. Steve Howe himself can't play it this clean.

@unknownkingdom

i won't kill you but....c'mon this ain't no way as clean as Steve himself....and I'm the one playing it! :D Still, I appreciate your comment.

[AllanDavidRock]

Amazing. I want your rendition of Weather Report Suite played at my funeral.

[interstategar]

This is the only song I've seen this guy that gave him alittle trouble. Its a great performance, but not dead on how Howe played it.

Of course it's not as good as what Howe was doing back in the 70s, but it's still one of the best on the site.
