I was inspired by the great Magic Nick to Get the video camera out and play one of my favorite Little Walter songs.

Please give me some advice "critique" on what I can do to better my performance - ALL advice welcomed by any level player!

I tried to listen to what I preach about staying relaxed and playing with a light touch and letting the gear do the work.

Thanks for your insight and help, Sincerely Frank

I can't critique your playing Frank, sounded top hole to me. Must say you got a very nice sound going on there

Thanks for chimin in Tooka...Figured I'd take my playing outta of the (infamous basement) or as my Wife loving refers to it the "Centipede Saloon" and play it to a web cam.

Ain't got a wild hair up my ass to the bar thing, I'm not an entertainer and I am in bed by 10:30 religiously - SLEEP is waaaaay more important to me,lol...

Anyway, I am going to play to the cam more often. I think it will help me get better knowing there is a small audience taking a peek at what I do, as well as give me constructive criticism!

That is some very good playing, Frank. Thanks for sharing. The only thing I can say in a critique kind of way is that the webcam mic wasn't really up to the job and killed some of your nice tone.

Yes,I don't quite under stand how a lot of those you tube vids look so pristine and clear and the sound is pure...I must need a better webcam, though this one seems okay. I didn't use the cam mic on that though Pcat, I miked the amp with a Shure 57, So I can't blame the cam!

Got a bit of video lag especially when you warble and an unusual square format but I found your video more than acceptable Frank. Sound was crisp and loud a good deal better than many I've seen. Keep cranking them out and they'll improve as you go. The whole worlds watching you now.

Appreciate that Fingers...That lag is a bugger Tooka, I do want to find some tweeks to manage that better. Hahaha, doubt the worlds watchin - though It is nice to have a few folks get to see some of my stuff by internet and like I mentioned earlier I ain't got the fire to hit the bar circuit jams and such, I'd rather work in my garden!
