Signed.

That's hard to say. I learned most of it over a year ago so I was able to shoot this video after some hours of practice. I can play every single lick in that song but it's hard as hell to nail it as a whole. So I was kind of frustrated with the result but decided to upload this version to remain as a placeholder for THE take ;)

I'm flirting with Dream Theater - Home. That's the only DT song I really like and it's fun to play.

This is really cool. I love bass guitar sounds.

There a song on Sonic Adventure that I've always loved. It has the most awesome funky bass sound. If you have some time, is there any chance of trying it? Afaik no one has tried a bass cover of it, but there are a few guitar ones. It would be awesome!

Just looked for some sheets or tabs but found none. Maybe I'll learn it by ear if I have much free time but that's not to happen soon ;)

Btw, I'm uploading Dream Theater - Home right now ;)

Awesome Job Dude!!! A difficult song for sure. You nailed every harmonic and even the slip-ups were clean. Also, ♥ ur 6-string :D

Now you just need to work on playing the keyboard with your toes to make it lejit Geddy Lee status.

Sad but true :( It seems to be viewable in Germany, don't know about USA. I also have a Mr. Big cover ready for upload but they block it...

Hehe, thank you. Maybe I could play it on trumpet but keyboard? It will burn your eyes and ears to watch me playing keys ;)
