James Bond theme acoustic (better framerate!) + Tab

Ok folks, this is a second recording of me playing the James Bond theme on acoustic guitar. It's my own arrangement, inspired by a friend of mine (Tommy!) who plays it amazingly on the piano.

I've uploaded this before but it was rubbbish quality so this one is (a bit) better!

Hope you like it, comments welcome (well this is YouTube after all...)! I seem to be playing it a bit quick at times so apologies...

UPDATED: I have made a tab for this which can view/download by going to:

Enjoy!

PLEAAASSSSEEEE MAAAAAKKKKKKEEE A LEEEEAAAASSSOONNNN

@jja217 What sort of lesson would you like?

[1busm]

Why don't you pluck more vertically? (perpendicular to the strings)

[pinksteady]

@1busm Hmm good question, I don't know really. If the song is more traditional/classical I'd probably adopt a more formal hand position, but I think my technique allows for a bit more fluidity and variation in the sounds I can get from the strings.

Or, its just bad technique and everything I just wrote I made up to avoid admitting that!

[1busm]

@pinksteady Well my guitar teacher has taught me to pluck more vertically, but I think it looks more natural to pluck how you are plucking. I think your technique is really good, and I think you did a really good job with this song.. it sounds great :D

[pinksteady]

@1busm Plucking perpendicular to the strings (vertically) gives a cleaner pluck and less pick/nail noise. Its more efficient, allowing for more volume and control. In theory that is. For me, I seem to have found a way that suits me. Best not to judge on how it 'looks' though - proper technique is important to learn, then you can adjust it.

Clearly the 44 people who dislike this are the villains who had their ass kicked by Bond.
