pretty good, prongated! you have a lot of personality.  i like your energy. 

are you left handed?  you give a lot of umph to the bass.  it's not bad.  it's just that you are naturally strong in your left hand it seems like - and i'd like to hear a moderated left hand (closer to the keys) as you are with the right hand.  but anyways - kudo's to anyone who can play this half as well.  rallestar - you have some serious competition here.

Not bad, but I can't stop to think your wasting a lot of energy playing.

Thanks! Um, actually it's just me thumping the bass for fun without thinking about sound balance...I shouldn't have done that...

Not bad, but I can't stop to think your wasting a lot of energy playing.

...tension-wise [tension requires energy, so this is assuming energy is wasted when the playing is tense], or simply the fact I made a lot of noise most of the time? Or both?


...in the end, as I said...

This recording costed me an arm, almost literally...:-\ hahaha

WHERE IS YOURS RALLESTAR??? You can't go worse than my attempt ;)

Haha, you bet I can - I was kinda hoping you had forgot about this :P But I'm really doing my best, as soon as I'm able to run through it without stopping, I'll upload a recording, which should be tomorrow - In any case, it's fair to say that you won this duel, considering the state mine was in when you posted yours.  :P

And I like your recording, especially impressive the deadline considered.

I fucked up my right hand wrist today trying to get it all together - I'm really sorry prongated, but I don't want to take any risks, and my hand is feeling pretty sore even right now, a while after practice... Congratulations on learning it that fast, must've taken a lot of skill.
