Good tone and playing here! I think you are close to nailing this with a bit more dynamic application as you have identified. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

hey Hank, there's no OB's in this tune. it switches to 3rd after a few choruses.

nice job New Player, nice round tone. I would try to attack the phrase at around 56 seconds a bit more by playing the note before the tonic a bit more staccato and aggressive (I think this is the way Dave plays it) + bring up the dynamics for this phrase and make it powerful. Smack those downbeats with accents is what I'm trying to say I guess!

Ahhhhh!!

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I definitely need to work on the dynamics. I'd say this pieace of recording is okay technique/rhythm-wise but it has no dynamcis. It is bland from the beginning to the end. I need to work on play in groove and add in all of those slaps, octaves and big chords. 

Solid

Thanks man... I got a pretty cool amp. Learning how to cup the mic and dial in the correct settings on the amp is whole new skill that I'm trying to learn. 

Well Done!!

Nice fat tone and accurate playing with OB's and all. Like what you did with this one! Your work certainly paid off.

Thank you for the kind words

Thank you for the kind words sir. Man.. recording is a powerful tool. Now that I'm listening to my own playing I noticed quite a few places that need improvement. I try to play at least a little bit daily. I like what Mr. Barrett says,  you will get there you just don't know when. :D
