Sounds great Nem, thanks for that!

Jean, you are right, it's Rondo alla Turka by Mozart. I've attached a pdf tab of it in case anyone wants to work on it. It's a great piece for your picking!

Nem, in response to your asking for opinions on your playing... I think it's sounding great, and that you've done really well with a hard piece. I just have a couple of constructive comments that I thought you might find useful, as you're obviously driven to play guitar really well... Firstly, it seems like you have plenty of picking speed there, but IMHO the synchronization between the hands could be improved by slowing down a lot (like less than half speed), and focusing on having the two hands move at exactly the same time. Hopefully speeding back up you should notice a difference. Secondly, IMHO there are sections when the timing could be more precise, which would also be helped by playing at half speed, and really nailing the timing of every note.

I really hope I'm not seeming critical here, they're just a couple of things (that other people have passed on to me over the years) that have really helped my playing, and from your playing you seem like me to be someone who always wants to be moving forward... Anyway, thanks again, and I really think your playing sounds great.

James
