Default My version of Classical Gas by Mason Williams...

Hello!

Here is my version of Classical Gas by Mason Williams... It's more of a jam around the theme of Classical Gas, as I don't really know how to play it properly and I'm not really a fingerpicker either! Hope you like it anyway!

Really great playing and some fun improvising! For what it's worth I think the tremolo/vibrato effect is a bit intense. The pitch modulation distracts from your playing. In my opinion

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback! Yeah, the effect is definitely a matter of taste I think. I personally like it (obviously), but I can see how others might not like it. Thanks for giving me your opinion on that - I'm always interested to hear what other people think about these kinds of things!

I like it! Beats the pretty standard way I've been approaching it, creativity rules.
