Question Can I play live? Rate my playing

Ok I recorded myself over a backing track. Sorry the quality is not great,

Any criticism and insight on what to do better is greatly appreciateted. I mean If you heard this would you boo me off stage???

Again All comments are appreciated. Im curious to see what Fulghum And stratman think.....

This is my shitty attempt at playing Comfortably numb:

http://ftp.alderre.com/Comfortably%20Numb.mp3

This is my attempt at an easier song, Money:

http://ftp.alderre.com/Money.mp3

Hit me! Which one should I play live? Which one is less flawed???

Thanks all

Re: Can I play live? Rate my playing

All the notes are there but the sound drunk and the timing is off on a lot of important notes. But you've got the right idea. There are a lot of moments where it sounds great, but you need to smooth out those little bumps in there.

Hope that helps.

Yeah just keep practicing. It's not an easy solo to tackle, you're doing a good job so far it's just not quite performable yet.

To be honest, I might boo you off stage. But that should just make you want to play even better!

Good luck

Re: Can I play live? Rate my playing

I know this sounds stupid but it seems my left hand get "tense" during those runs (I think that's what they're called) of the CN solo.

How long did it take you all guys to get it "RIGHT enough" to perform live.

I am at a stage where I get so excited just by being able to play it, even if its not good yet. I hope the excitement never goes away. It really is n awesome feeling. I sleep better at night.

I just heard the Comfortably Numb one. It seems a little off near the end to me. Keep up the good work! It sounds good so far.

Money was great! I really enjoyed that one. I wouldn't boo you on that one.

For comfortably numb, I think I get The endings mixed up from the Pulse version and The Wall version

Sounds good to me! Great tone.
Your bends and the flow of it are very good, to my ears.
I preferred CN.
Go ahead and play both.

That's what's tough when you play for an audience. But doing it is the only way to conquer anxiety.
