Default Do You Think This is Cool?

I spent a few weeks transcribing this tune by a band from my city. They're called Neon Dreams. They're not super well known around the world or anything but they're doing well for themselves. They're full time musicians always playing shows and touring etc.

So I transcribed it and arranged it for fingerstyle guitar. Practicing it to the point where I was able to play it cleanly was the most time consuming part of the process. What I think it the coolest part about this video is that I have the city where they're from in the background (I live there).

Feel free to critique. I actually encourage it from you fellas. I know there's a lot of wise and experienced members here in the forum.

Cheers.

Do I think this is cool? Yep, I sure do! I'm not familiar with the song, but your arrangement is terrific: dynamic, interesting and cleanly played. I like the percussion elements. Really nice setting for the video as well. Nice job, Brandon!

Thanks boss! I really took my time with the arrangement and executing it cleanly so I'm glad you liked it. The band isn't super well known but they're great. They said they were gonna share this video on their Facebook page, but they haven't done it yet. I hope they aren't just talk haha.

Cheers

That was very well done, Brandon! A great job of turning that song into a fingerstyle piece! And there was a lot of video work there! Nice job all around!

Really enjoyed that Brandon. Very clean, crisp playing with nice tone and groove. Thanks for posting. Had a listen to the original after - I think you did it proud...

Thank you all so much for the kind words. It took me a few weeks to be able to get this arrangement down so I appreciate the feedback very much.

Cheers everyone!
