    I actually think for once my timing was good, the only downside is my stupid acoustic guitars intonation sucks ass.
    Also I play the c chord as a normal chord instead of power chord should i not do this because i want it to ring out and hammer on on the 1 fret e and then pick 1 fret b, should i not play like this? For once in my life I actually played in time or surprised myself with better timing at least. :'(

    its sounds pretty nice, but i think you should sustain more the open D and the first notes, and try to lower the attack on the last notes.
    Just add some reverb and the harmonies on the second guitar and youre set

    It sounds good, although I think you ought to slow down a little. It’s surprising how different yours sounds from mine! I play the whole c chord too and prefer it for its wholesomeness haha. Also, something else I do that I like the sound of, when I play the 3rd fret of b right before the c-chord, I kinda give it a pull off effect by immediately switching my hands into the c-chord position such that my index is now on the first fret of the b and (5p3) pull off is created. I found your switch just a tad bit abrupt but maybe that’s only because I’m used to listening to it in the manner I play it in and it’s just a bias, but nevertheless, it sounded really good
    Hope that made sense haha

    If your timing has improved then that’s all that really matters! Everyone is always welcome to do their own interpretation of the song no matter what it is. I think this sounded great Andrew, congratulations on your timing improvement! But I do agree that I think it could be slow down just a little bit to get a little bit more of a free flowing feel

    @Jen sometimes it happens that you think it is not That fast because of rests in between notes and lengths of the notes but the tempo can be actually pretty fast even though it doesn’t always seem that way. Hope that explains it at least a little bit.
