If you want to learn more about your Katana and how to use it, I recommend The Studio Rats channel on YouTube.
They have a bunch of tutorial videos on the Katana and how to use it, and they have a regular live stream on Fridays about the Katana where you can ask questions in the chat.
Cheers,
Keith
Great stuff Pete you did great well done on your first recording!
You’ve dived in, kept afloat and now you’re swimming in the ocean of possibilities Peter. Well done.
Hey Pete,
Well done on your first post. Sounded pretty good to me. Good rhythm with the strumming which is crucial. The chord changes/clarity will just improve with practice. Goin well mate.
Cheers, Shane
So here is my first ever recording. I tried on my phone, but ended up using an old laptop. It was definitely nerve racking and I know I can see the errors, I tried not to stop, rather smile and continue. Anyway here it is I welcome your comments as I know they will make me better. YouTube highlighted a copyright claim, so it must be recognizable
Cheers
Hi Phil, well done on your first recording, it probably went a lot better than you personally think! 
good things: you kept the time pretty much consistent, solid strumming, some dynamics were introduced which means you feel the music and your changes are good.
Things to work on - playing along to a song would be a good idea to practice keeping the time. Slow it down, even if you are listening on youtube you are able to do so, and just follow the song this will keep your timing in line, alternatively use a metronome.
As you probably are aware some changes weren’t super clean - they were okay but just some not clean which comes down to more practice, One minute changes, perfect chord changes and learning songs. More you practice the better it will become I see you are using one of the mini Fs, I think in few instances the e string was muted which means you just didn’t put enough pressure. Again I will be repeating myself here again - just do it over and over again until it clicks not sure where you are in your journey but I guess you are approaching soon the dreaded F chord - this was actually the first song I learnt using the F chord and let me tell you it wasn’t easy!
Once you start learning full F I suggest just perfect chord changes and training higher up the neck before you do it on the first fret, especially on the acoustic first challenge is to make it ringing nicely and second challenge is to arpeggiate this bloody song on the F chord, ouf I still have nightmares when I think of it! 
I derailed a bit - overall you are doing great and I think you are on the right path next time try to focus your camera a bit more on your fretting hand as some bits were trimmed out of the view which made it more difficult to follow your technique all the best.
Thanks for the comments, really appreciate the time. I do think I rushed ahead and am in the process of going back through all the modules. I can play the full F but not confident of speed of changes. I can do clean changes if I concentrate hard, but it isn’t natural yet.
Celebrating a big moment in your guitar playing Phil. This is a big step to take. Adrian has given you some good pointers. I can’t add to them. I can however encourage you. You’ve done well.
Thank you, appreciate the comment.
Thanks to everyone for the encouraging feedback. I appreciate you all taking the time to have a look and offer words of wisdom 
I can see that I need to focus on my chord changes among other things.
It probably doesn’t show in the video but I really am finding this a lot of fun!
Bravo, Phil, such a huge step to make a recording. You are doing really well, making excellent progress.
Just keep doing what you are doing, practicing the essentials to improve chord fingering and changing, playing songs as you go, making periodic recordings.
Look forward to your next!
@philsmith well done Phil and kudos for posting. Sounded very much like the original which is good. I would however practice it slower at the moment so you get some of those chord changes spot on.
Well done, nice steady strumming and chord changes; a very good start to recording yourself for future reference.

Well done Phil. I big first step.
@adi_mrok got in there with most of the important encouragement and critique all wrapped up in one. My one addition might be to slow it down some (it feels quick and you’re rushing the changes as a result) and ease off from strumming each and every single beat. Songs with a 6/8 tempo have accented (think louder) strums on the beats of 1 and 4 and less dynamic (think quieter) on the other beats. But … beats 2, 3, 5 & 6 are not all played all of the time. They can be omitted.
So you may have a pattern such as:
1, _, 3, 4, _, _
1, _, _, 4, 5, 6
1, 2, _, 4, 5, _

Thanks, yes I get ahead of myself doing what I think I should be able to do rather than what I comfortably can
thanks, it is amazing the extra pressure that a flashing red light can add.
Thanks Richard, I tried the other versions, with 2 strums per bar, and the raked? chords. I considered recording a verse of each but making the transitions never goes smoothly. Having done it once, hopefully future attempts won’t be as hard.
Hey, that was great, Peter! Good consistent strumming all the way through with steady foot tapping. You are on the right path!
The best part of this one was that you did it! You recorded yourself and shared it with us. :-). Now you have that under your belt. I don’t think you are looking for in depth criticism here on your first post (nor am I qualified to do that), so the only thing I will say is it felt very rushed. Pretty natural under the circumstances, I think. Great job!
[ETA]. I thought you did a good job on emphasizing the 1 and 4 in the 6/8 strumming. @Richard_close2u has good feedback on allowing some variation in the pattern, but I commend you for pretty consistently nailing the 1&4 beats.
