lol :P

Hardly pristine playing, but some of you members have been pressing me for some recent recordings so here ya go. Was a spur of the moment "am I playing this right" recording on my camera- thus the random atrocious mistakes and poor audio quality.

I think I sound like an absolute lunatic, lol.

Clearly this is still a work in progress. I have about half learnt.

Would appreciate comments! :) I promise to post a *much* better recording of something or other sometime this summer, haha.

Good start, Sarah! 

My comment is that I would like to hear more of a pulse in your playing.  Try and do a downward motion with your wrists on the quarter-note pulse to solidify the beat.

Thanks, Josh! :) Will work on solidifying it.
