So here is my 2nd attempt at Rose Room using the fingering Tomo suggested.
My amp is very loud and I recorded the backing track with a metronome.
(Sorry about the running water in the background).
If I used this as a performance piece would I be able to get into Berkeley?
Just wondering.
Thanks for listening.
Thanks for sharing this video!
Good job!
Good fingering positions & good self-made backing track.
So smooth!
Now techniques. If you like to improve more... your lefthand thumb position (to pay attention!)
You can learn so much about lefthand thumb position thing from November Challenge.
You could use a little more alternate picking if you like.
Good job! Yes! You could get in Berklee (as performance skill)
Thank you.
Tomo
Thank you so much for watching!
Bad habits are hard to break.
I’ve been playing for over 30 years with my thumb wrapped around the neck. I will try to pay more attention to my thumb position and alternate picking.
Thank you for your feedback.
You are amazing!
You're very welcome!
You can fix it no problems!
Please watch each week videos for November Challenge!
Those will help you. Later you have more freedom.
Thank you.

Wanted to record Rose Room again (as I’ve been still working on it) with my MusicMaster Bass amp and single coil guitar. I’m playing to the click on backbeat at 40bpm.
Any critique is welcome. Thanks.
Tasteful and entertaining! Good job!
GM
Thank you George!
Thanks so much Rich for posting this video! You really improved your picking touch a lot! I really respect your big effort on getting a Musicmaster Bass Amp and tring your single coil guitar! This tempo is so good! Your tone is so beautiful! Great job!
A few things you can fix a little bit. Fingerings. Please watch my demo video more. And your thumb position (better than before…)
Tomo
Really nice Richard! That melody is complicated, and you nailed it. The MMBA sounds great too - hope you are enjoying practice with it.
Thank you Tomo.
I didn’t think my fingerings were bad but I did notice my thumb creeping up high behind the neck.
It’s funny I usually pay so much attention to that when I practice but I guess as soon as I put the camera on to videotape, the bad habits start creeping back in.
Thank you so much Richard.
You really sound amazing!
I needed to watch and hear this.
So many notes. I love it.
Kurt
Kurt ~ you are so kind.
Thank you for always responding.
I’m hoping there’s some improvement from a year ago.
I see I’m still wearing the same shirt lol.
Yes, improvement for sure Richard, but I thought you were really good way back then :-)
I hope you get to keep wearing that.
So sad when I finally wear out some of my old favorites and they end up becoming part of my Yard Work Uniform.
Kurt
Haha - yes as I’ve put on weight I’ve moved a lot of my clothes over to yard work clothes!
Thanks again Kurt!
The Autumn Leaves are here.
You look like you've lost weight to me.
Must be the yard work :-)
Kurt
Thank you Clay & Kurt for encouragement! Yes! Rich is pushing really good! So happy to see his videos!
