Understood, were just shedding though... 
We don't play like this in service
One should want to respect and honor the music in all situations. The song was almost not recognizable. Your boy should look to shape the music with musical phrases. Even if you guys were "shedding". I can tell by his vocabulary and execution that he is a young musician. Not necesasarily in age, but in experience, but you are never too young or old to be accountable for your role in the music.
Chops amd licks won't get you paid. Playing the groove and honoring the music is money in the bank 100%.
The word of the day for this thread is "awareness". Everyone say it with me.....
BTW, thats one sill hat you're wearing....
