do i look pretentious?

[xXTheHerpesXx]

is a short clip i made of me playin a little tune i wrote. i recorded this like mabey 6 months ago and since then i have embellished and extended the general idea of this song but i was quite proud of myself during the time of this recording and i think you can see it on my face as im playing. after viewing much better players do their thing i have once again been put in my place and once again am self conscious about my abilities (w/ players like don ross and the candyrat records crew how will i ever rest?). nevertheless, im bored and would like strangers to commment so check it out and lemme know what u think

[darksun]

sounds good to me, nothing wrong with being proud of your abilities:thu:

[catgut]

Yep, you look like a little prick alright. haha

 

Don't listen to me- I'm just acting out my jealousy of ur abilities in writing/technique.

[Hudman]

It's either out of sync or your not actually playing it.

 

I don't think you look pretentious. Although, I was distracted by the syncing issue.

+1.

nice.

I didnt sense any attitude coming through on this.

If I compared myself to Don Ross and the candyratters, I'd eat a 9mm for lunch.

lighten up, dude.

Don't confuse the joy of playing and playing well, with hubris or false bravado.

Naw - it just looks like you're grooving and having such a good time that you may need to change your shorts afterwards!

 

Seriously, you're doing a good job and don't change a thing. If this is where you feel the most comfortable, then don't even pay a thought to any potential negative critics.

It looks like you were enjoying yourself and into what you were playing. Nuttin' wrong with that. Made me enjoy listening to you. I'd like to hear a better recording of what you were playing, though.

I would like to hear a more professional recording, but that syncing/timing/ out of beat thing that pours from this is annoying. Work on that and it'd be pretty good.

 

Hey, you said you wanted comments, just telling you my humble opinion, not bashing ya ;-)

[MyM.O.]

Yeah, there does appear to be a slight out of sync/delay.

You mean at the end where when he stops playing...

but the tune continues for almost a measure??...

 

I liked it, stay with it.

[MyM.O.]

Yup, that seemed a little out of sync .

[kwakatak]

I wouldn't blame him for the A/V syncing. I've noticed this on just about every Youtube movie I've watched. Just look around and you'll see.

[xXTheHerpesXx]

wow, i've never gotten so many replies:love: thank you all for your time (so far the internet has been my only audience)...hmmm, and as i speak i just realize that i gave you guys the youtube link of that video when i should've given you the google video link instead. that asynchronicity really bugged me too and i tried uploading a couple different formats w/ no luck so i just switched to google and that cured the problem totally.

I like the song. Its hard to tell if you look pretentious, because I can't really see your face. But you look like you're having fun, and that's important.
