Tell me what you think of my audition?

[Quinn-H]

So, basically every year Berklee has a summer program called 5 week some 900 kids attend, and within that program, there is an advanced workshop that holds some lofty advantages, namely a full tuition to the 5 week plus board, saving my mom some 8 grand. In order to be accepted you have to send in a video of your audition (they recommended 3 pieces, one being multimeter.)


I know it's sloppy, but I feel as if I tried my hardest.

I'd love if I could get some commentary from some great bass players.


P.s, I like my 3rd piece the most, try and stay for it.


P.s.s Sorry if this is in the wrong category, I wasn't sure which to put it in...


Thanks to all at Talkbass!

nicely done- and impressive at 16... I also enjoyed the 3rd peice...keep working and enjoy Berklee! as a high school teacher in the inner city its refreshing to see a young man doing something positive and playing a wonderful instrument!

Damn dude...Nice job! I also liked piece #3.

Good job, but if you feel it's sloppy keep practicing until your happy and then submit it. I wonder if you would get more points by doing something more traditional on bass, maybe a walking jazz bass line for a first piece, something melodic for a second piece and then do some tapping for the third. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just giving some constructive criticism. The competition will be tough, but don't let that deter you. Kick some butt and take names.
