I made some mistakes... it's hard to play in front of a camera haha.
any suggestions for improvement will be appreciated.

That was a good job - You should be more relax, I noticed near the half of
the song, you were more confident and that shows into your playing.

Just loose those shoulders, warm up before playing and let it rip !

Friendly,

I agree you did good job and thanks for the post. I get a bit nervous when recording too. Its just newer to me. Relax a bit. It showed when you relaxed. Keep them coming.

I agree with what Raymix and Bounty said. Great playing by the way.

[Beyond]

thanks ray, bounty and kevbocat. Yeah I notice when I play casually it sounds better haha...
by the way, do you guys play to the song or just play without the music? Sometimes I find my timing a little off when playing without the music.

I try to play to the song as much as possible. zepplin_maniac alwasy has the track in the background and I asked him why. Its because people don't think your in time if you don't have it. It helps me stay in time.

Thanks, I'm a beginner too. This is the first song I learned and I personally think this song is easy to play. Great for beginners!:D

Well played and yeah i'm the same, it was the first song i was able to play all the way through... i managed to play it right after about 4 months of learning guitar, now at 6 months i can play Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit all the way through (well except the solo!), try that, once you get the rhythm to the main riff it's good fun to play.
