From what my friends tell me, some of whom are in bands, you're amazing... So I'll go with their opinions. And I have a request, can you play Through Fire and Flames for your old buddy Anto? | ||

Please tell me where I said he was accepted solely based on this video. The tape was only part of his interview. | ||

Are you listening on laptop speakers or iPod headphones or something? ;D Also worth mentioning is that this is a recording of a performance, not a studio recording in the usual sense. Most of the interview was in person of course, in which I performed for them live, played them some recordings of my original pieces, and discussed my techniques, abilities etc. I guess I'm better in person. Edit: I've also yet to meet a professional who didn't like it. Unless of course, you are a professional, in which case, TT | ||

Why do you keep saying "you" and referring to the video as being the original poster? It's his friend haha. just finished watching the video, that was really awesome :D | ||
