your actual playing is really good. actually its pretty impressive if its your first time attempting a song. you hit all the notes that you needed to. your hammerons and pulloffs were really good.

your only problems is your strumming pattern and your rhythm. the best way to improve this is to practice to a metronome and to recordings of the song itself. try to play it exactly and with whoever sings the song you're playing at the moment.

but like i said, metronomes help too. singing will be harder to do if your rhythm is off, so try to get it down now so that it will be easier when you start singing. but over, good.

Appsoldier nailed it. This is the main thing you need to work on. Think of it this way (assuming you play righty): You've got what the left hand is supposed to be doing down; you now need to work on the right. :wink:

Listen for the mutes and strumming patterns. It takes practice, but it will come. Good luck. Sounding good!

I would say follow the same suggestions for Crush as you received for LIOG. Work on the rhythm a bit. You're hitting all the chords though. Play along with the Storytellers or Lost Acoustics versions.

The LIOG sounds a little fast to me too, just relax and slow down a little.
