Well, here is one of the tunes I'll be playing in my audition on Tuesday. I played it here on my friends piece of crap acoustic. Its some warped neck Esteban thing that has no love/emotions. So its basically a piece of junk. But whatever. I seem to be getting worse at this song the more I play it. Hopefully I don't get all mental in my audition and f up majorly. But if I do, I'll just shoot everyone in the room and run out with no shirt on....You know how it is.

Click down yonder.

I've never heard that song before, but I like it, and you played it really well. :)

That was a pretty good job of it, man.

The one thing that stood out to me was the speed of the piece: it sounded a little slower than the way Zep did it.

If you could get the speed up, it'd be pretty impressive.

I just compared tempos, and its almost identical. I think Page's just sounds more impressive cuz he's A) 23124 times better than me and B) Has a much better guitar than myself. But the tempo is almost identical. If it is slower, it ain't by much.

Thanks for listening and commenting. Appreciate it.

Yeah, my fingers get minds of their own sometimes. End up nailing notes and making em vibrate loudly.

Thanks for listening everyone. Your support is appreciated.

I liked it! No comments on the quality Its better than I can do at this point. :)
The main reason I had to reply was because I saw Little Wing on your site. Really good and was that you singing? Very good also. Anyway I just started messing with that song about 2 days ago. At my skill level its going to take me awhile to get it down. I saved your version on my soundclick page for inspiration. :D

Outstanding job Grizz. I really enjoyed it! Now I will have to go back and check out your Little Wing. You're gonna do fantastic at your audition. Just remember to thank your minions on GT!! Hee hee. :D

Sounds like you've really got the touch man.
If anything, just watch that low string from buzzing when you hit it (with the thumb?).

Little wing sounds great too.

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

Thanks guys. I've got a better guitar lined up for the audition, so hopefully that will cure my problems with that low E. Its very hard to hear on that guitar for some reason, so I end up wailing it and it sounds even more like poop.

But thanks everyone for your feedback and listening.
