Only For Beginners Learning to Play "Eight Days a Week"

EDIT: This thread should probably be under "Recordings". Sorry. Now it'll get tagged as "Moved" which seems to be the kiss of death for any thread. Argh. Moderators, I'm going to start a thread under "Recordings" and ask you to please delete (or lock) this one, with my sincere apologies. I'll go stand in the corner now.

Elsewhere another beginning bass player related how his video cover of "Eight Days a Week" had been trashed on YouTube. Several TB'ers encouraged him to ignore the haters. I said I wouldn't even have the cojones to post a video of myself playing bass, at least not until I get a lot better. Which probably means never.

Well after further consideration, I decided I would do it. I give you my cover of Eight Days a Week. You have no idea how much I've practiced this, and it still has some rough spots. To stack the deck in my favor as much as possible, I play it on an Ibanez Mikro! It's just like cheating!

Let the critiquing begin!

If you're a beginner and you can play "Eight Days a Week", I challenge you to post your rendition in this thread, even if it's just the audio. Or whatever other song you can play. Just do it!

It's not bad. When I was a beginner (after almost 15 years I still consider myself to be one), I was a lot worse off in skills than you are. You should be proud. You played clean and did it fairly well.
