markjThe Clap
No, not that clap! lol
It took me quite a while to get this under my fingers. I started learning it about 6 months ago. I have been able to play it from start to finish for a couple of months but getting this beast polished is very challenging. Very challenging. It is one the funnest pieces of music I have ever learned of any genre on any instrument. It is not perfect of course because it never will be, but it is a hell of a lot of fun to play...
I humbly submit my first recording of, "The Clap", by Steve Howe. (I tried to keep up with a 98bpm metronome.) Tried is the key word here... lol
Adjust volume as necessary. It sounds a little bass heavy on my JBL studio monitors and a little bright on my Sony headphones. Mixing sound is another one of those 10,000 hour deals...

big alI'll admit I was a little slow to open this thread given the title. You just never know what you can catch these days.

I'm glad I did. I definitely enjoyed your playing.

markjThank you all for the kind words.
This is one of those pieces that once you learn it, it stays with you forever. I will never stop playing it. It's just too much fun!
