This is my take - very rough around the edges but it was a fun challenge! (ft. my cat, Crowley)

I've noticed my camera/recording fear really interferes with my flow with these, so things start to get more natural feeling towards the end of the improv - if only people could hear the tempo of my heartbeat during recording haha!
Sounds killer!

    It's whatever, I'm happy with it. Tried too hard a few times and messed me up. Also tried to sneak in some of the seize the day stuff but it didn't work out on some parts. My sloppy sweeps :D One note sounded cool to me and I tried to run with it, I should have, but I just went back to safety. I was waiting for the song to end but it never did xD

    Thanks Chris, you and Ids both got some cool stuff too :D Your heart was racing? Could be nerves, don't sweat it, just keep breathing :D
    Thanks man! Yeah I struggle with recording/performing nerves & putting a lot of pressure on myself in general, that makes things I can do well off camera go a bit shaky, but I'm working on it! :geek:

    Some things, you seem to do something with the hands you don't hold your pick with. It's probably easier to play clean when you keep your hand as a wrist. Another thing, try to tell a bit more of a story in your solo instead of just playing licks you know(motif/melody is very important). There where definitely some good things in there, keep it up!
