    Great playing as usual.
    It's not a competition.

    Tom seems a nice guy but his playing bores the very soul out of me....

    Each to his own I guess :)

    Great playing. But if I could offer one suggestion to this style in general, it would be to let the music breath more.. too many notes for my taste. The best playing is from 1:28 to 1:40 imo. 

    But otherwise a very well executed jam.

    Very nice playing, very Quayle-esque. I'd perhaps look at how and where you're phrasing, it sounds like there is a tendency to land on beat one most of the time. Maybe look at phrasing over the bar line a bit more often, it might help tie the changes together a bit more in some places.

    Some gnarly changes on that tune though, well done!

    I never noticed but watching back I do have a bias for the one beat! Well spotted ha

    I had (or still have, depending on how hard the tune is) the same problem too smile I never noticed it but when it was pointed out to me it became glaringly obvious and couldn't unhear it haha
