Thanks, that's true, I was only asking for opinions. As for tearing the kid apart, to be fair and honest, I DID say that "how" he executed the song with a pick was terrible IMO so I'm not completely innocent there. But I think if he slowed it down a bit and put some more feeling into it, it would be good.

My problem isn't with the pick (or the awful tone), but the playing is off. If he played it perfect, with a pick, it would be kind of cool.

I'm sure that guy sounds great with his original stuff, but that line works so much better when it sounds good/is played right.

I'm not saying I could do better, but I am saying I don't post videos of myself on youtube.
