Video of me playing at church - "I Won't Let Go" by John P Kee

Hi y'all.

So I finally got up the courage and recorded a video of me playing in church. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I still have tons to learn of course (heh, like working on my feel/groove and not playing so stiff), but I'm excited to be pushing myself farther than I could play before with a song like this one.

Pretty Good Bro, you got majority of the riffs down from the song. Something that I learned that took my playing to another level when when i learned to play different kinds of notes. So learn to fit quarter, eighth, sixteenth notes into different parts. So try doubling or tripling up on some of your notes, it will make your playing sound cooler. Also some cool things to try are playing hearing places to play your notes legato(lengthy) and places to play them staccato (short and choppy). When playing bass/music, learn different dynamics that will give the song life. Always remember its not only what you play but it's how you play it. Keep Practicing Bro, you got it.....

Thanks so much for the tips and ideas. It seems like getting "the feel" is more elusive than anything else in my playing. I'll definitely start working on the areas you mentioned to give my playing more life. Thanks!

Bro, you did a good job! A lot of musicians would be really appreciative of the fact that you stick to the original music, you helped the flow of the song so much by keeping the groove! Awesome dude, keep at it!!
