GAAAAAAAH good effort but several of those notes and the timing are just completely wrong and it made me lose my temper

@purecanesugar420 Knowing that I recorded this like 3 years ago I had to make sure before I say anything and watched the video again. The only mistake I did, was when I played 3 notes one octave higher than it's originaly written if you cna call that a mistake. The timing is correct. Double checked that. If you know musical theory you can check the sheet notes of the song. They're uploaded somewhere. I know it's not perfect but I can't find such horrible mistakes to loose temper...

[purecanesugar420]

@Sunchild333 Oh, never mind, I see you said you DIDN'T use the sheet music and that I could go look it up. You might consider doing that, but I really don't need to.

[Sunchild333]

@purecanesugar420 Yeah well neither do I. I learn music by ear because it's my way of geting to know music more. Like I said, there might be mistakes because it was never ment to be 100% perfect. And that's the way I like it, because I'm not copying anyone, I'm doing things the way I like to do. You can either respect that, or don't visit my channel at all. And what you call 'mistakes' are just the notes that I prefered to use and are not WRONG just because they're not THE SAME.But tnx anyway =)

@Sunchild333 LOL, first you say that you only made one mistake, where you were playing the right notes in the wrong octave. Upon hearing that there were, in fact, greater than 9 major melodic or rhythmic changes to the song, you play the artistic license card. It's either your own uninteresting artistic interpretation, or you failed. I'm still playing the you fail card. You can either respect that, or stop posting half-assed covers on the internet.

[Sunchild333]

@purecanesugar420 Well this conversation is pretty much stupid because you obviously think you have him by the balls just because you are completely sure how the song goes. I realized what you ment by mistakes and I never saw those different notes as mistakes. Just get lost please if you don't like it...because obviously other GG fans think different than you. And come back when you have any videos on your own.

I'm trying to learn this, and looking at as many covers as possible, with variations in creativity, helps me out. Thanks for posting.

Ahhh, timing - my worst enemy! I can't hear any mistakes but then I have no music education - ear has always been my only teacher. I sometimes regret that I refused to go to muslc school when I was younger but at least today I don't criticise people for playing one or two notes wrong.

[purecanesugar420]

Switched to the 3rd person? I'm not going to "get lost" and your minimal effort certainly does not motivate me to post something better. If you are going to perform in public, you have to make the effort to faithfully learn & recite a piece or you need to have compositional talent of your own (not just the blues scale). You are apparently banking on the latter. Don't half ass somebody else's work, make it your own, then act like its fair to equivocate the two in your title, free of criticism.

[purecanesugar420]

@Sunchild333 So you are saying there was only one mistake? Listening half way through right now I counted 9 bars with errors. Doesn't matter if you are using the notation, because if you are, you read it incorrectly, or the person that wrote it down wasn't listening carefully to the song.
