Like the title says, I recorded a short for VH1 for my job. Wanted to know what you all thought of it.

Its entitled VH1 Short. Pretty simple eh?

Its only a minute and a half long, so it won't take up too much of your time.

Any comments, advice, things you'd change, etc, would be appreciated!

I'm not a session player by any means, I'm just working for a production company.

The product company owns the copyright for all the tracks I play on, and I'm registered with BMI. I am credited for the tracks I play on, so I collect royalties when they air as well as getting paid a small bit for each track I work on from the production company.

As for getting the gig, I met a guy who knows a guy who was looking for a bassist. When I moved to NYC I played out as much, and as often, as I can to get my name out and to build up my chops. (I mostly did sub-work)

Now, fortunately, my previous hard work has paid off.
