A few mistakes here and there, but not bad considering stage fright and moving around all over the place. I had a blast. Hope you enjoy it. It gets much better after the first fast solo with the pick tapping bit, I loosen up and get accustomed to the crowd so that was good :D

  • I understand stage fright but your counting was very poor. The reason the crowd was clapping was to keep you in tempo.

  • @JackIntheBK

    Believe me, I know. I was VERY nervous.

    I have a video of me playing "For The Love of God" in 2010... that video is MUCH better.

    I hate this video because my timing is so off on everything BUT the solos.

  • The rythm is so bad. And in music, when the rythm is bad, it's a big piece of shit.

    You must work it a lot, it's ridiculous.

  • I Dont Care If hes Outta Sync...Hes Cooler Than All Of You.

  • To all you haters, lets see your rendition.

    Keep practicing man. I wish I could play half this good.

  • @tribaloren you and everyone else on youtube, lol

  • @ChristsDanimal777 ME! and i played it much better

  • How many of you who dissed his timing were playing Surfing With The Alien when you were in high school???

  • Dude looks and moves like the sound.For having stage fright you have good stage presence.Like most all of us ,FUNDAMENTALS, will unlock all the fancy stuff like nothing else.I once heard a guy ask Jimmy Haslip "how to play really fast" Jimmy replied "Practice with a metronome really really,excruciatingly slow tempos"
