nice one CC, well played, keep up the practice :-)

Thanks, i am still working on the song

I had started as young as you have CC and WITH all of the technology that we have today.. looks like you're off to a great start kiddo!

Thank you, i really appreciate these commentss :)

Hey, good for you for taking up the challenge! Listen, a lot of people are just going to look at your age (yeah you're young, but who cares!) and just be like "wow, you're awesome" when really some constructive criticism might really help, and that's what I'd like to offer... just a couple of simple things...

-the way you're holding your pick... I can see (and hear!) that you're holding your pick so that you have way too much of the pick hitting the strings... this produces a "slappy" sound that you can hear pretty distinctly. Try to choke up on the pick so that you've got just a little bit sticking out between your finger and thumb... once you get the idea, you'll really like holding this way, and you'll find you don't drop your pick very often, if at all.

-if you're going to teach something (and I think you can do a really good job) pay attention to details... really listen to the music, and listen to what you are playing, and see where you can improve your accuracy so that its closer to the original. People will really appreciate it if you can make it as close to the original as possible. So in this case, you're just letting the chords ring out... listen to the actual song... hear the difference? He's "stopping" the chord from continuing to ring out by simply muting with the palm of his picking hand... so instead of "dadada annnng annnng annng..." as the chord rings, its "da-da-da (silence)" "da-da-da" (silence)" "da-da-da da-da-da da da-da" etc... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_5kv8QeBBc)

The stop/mute technique is a big part of Young's sound & style, so don't miss it.

Its great that you're doing awesome at such a young age... I think if you worked on it a bit more, you could get it down pretty easily, and then do the video again and really inspire other young players.

Please don't get upset that I'm giving you some criticism, I mean it as a total show of respect, that even though you're young, I'm not going to condescend to you... you're making a great start... now see if you can get the intro pretty much like how Young plays it... I think you can do it!

No, this is good, thanks for the idea's and technique's i will try and improve it soon!

Keep On Rocking ;)

Thank you, i am doing a 12 bar blues thing tommorow but it might not be the best!

Hello, i am doing better now because at high school their is an english teacher who told me about guitar club so i am doing that now!!!

great job CCguitarguy, one of my favorite songs!

here's a hint: if you can avoid hitting the low E string, especially on the D and G chord, you'll really hear the song "pop" out. I like to wrap my left thumb around the neck to the E string to stop it from ringing. Then you can really wail with the right hand. (Not sure if you can reach that quite yet.)

You're doing a great job of muting the strings between chords, BTW.

Keep up the good work! \,,/,

Thanks, i will do that but probably wont post video
