Three Mile Bikeride - Craig D'Andrea (revisited cover)

So this is my second cover of Three Mile Bikeride by Craig D'Andrea, my last one being from April '09. This one's a whole lot better than the last, so you can compare the two to see how much I've improved over the last two and a half years.
(Halfway between now and then I actually had lessons with Craig for a few months. when I found out he lived so close to me, I had to email him for lessons).

It's still not perfect, and the percussive section isn't synchronized with the left hand well at all... this was after many takes, and my left hand was cramping really badly. I'm pleased with how it turned out anyway.

As always, thank you all so much for all the nice comments. I'm really flattered that so many people enjoy these. It's nice to share the stuff I mess around with haha. Criticism is also welcome. I know I have to work on my right hand technique, if craig saw this he would cringe hahaha

Nice cover, great feeling! :) Probably because of the several takes you did the 2nd string went out of tune, it's a bit disturbing but the playing is really good. I plan to learn this song aswell, right after I finished Band Friends and Crazy. :)

@HUNrobar Haha thank you! In regards to the tuning, the song will actually sound out of tune in places if you tune the guitar properly. I tuned the 3rd and 1st strings around the 2nd (which is supposed to be the one in proper tune!) so that parts like the chorus would sound right. Whenever I play this song, I always have to make the 3rd string a little flat and the 1st a little sharp. Checking out your channel now too!
