Thank you Andrew for that performance, I really enjoyed it. I liked your dynamics and enjoyed the percussive strums and general groove. Thought you did a very good job with the vocal too. I haven’t heard that song or any early R.E.M. for a while, makes me want to give it a try too!

Hi Andrew,
Welcome. Great relaxed and confident strumming with some nice touches and embellishments I thought. 
Great work and again, welcome
That’s amazingly fast progress Andrew - a really confident and flowing performance. Congratulations!
Only tip I can think of is what Gordon mentioned above - something slightly awry with the muting/fretting. First instance I heard was at 0:27. But this is microscopic compared to the positives in your performance.
@CD02 Thanks so much, Craig!
@twistor59 Thanks, Phil! I agree with you and Gordon; I can hear that something is off with that low E, particularly in the first chunk of the song. A good thing to work on!
Hi Andrew, I had to get back to you on this post.
By sheer happy coincidence, my two grandsons learned and performed Driver 8 at an open mic yesterday. I had no idea they were learning it and was surprised and delighted in equal measure. I posted it here.
ps
I notice in your bio you are an actor in NYC. Another coincidence. My elder grandson, Cameron, is an actor and flies to NYC for a month this weekend. The world is full of synchronicities.

Hello Andrew and welcome to our community.
That was a great debut and it shows you’ve been working on your basics. Nice vocals and confident strumming. Nice on the chord changes too.
