Timing off nice and clean though I guess. Can't teach time and feel at Berklee sadly.

how is berklee now

From an alum, congrats! Nice tone and really nice execution.

Hello Mike, nice play with you jazz guitar assignment! I already enrolled for the jazz guitar 101 for next semester, but I am not sure whether I can handle to enrol for another guitar course at berklee online and study at the same time (they are having early enrolment savings for a lot of guitar course that's why I am considering also enrol for another one). Just want to have an idea of what level of intensity of jazz guitar 101 is, is this course alone will keep you busy enough? Do you think enrolling in another course at the same time such as rhythm and groove guitar will get me too busy and overwhelmed? Through the timeline of your posted videos on youtube, I found out generally you took two courses at the same time but only one for the jazz guitar 101, I am assuming this one requires more time to put into? Thanks for your reply!

You have inspired a 34 year old here. Thank you.

Tengo 39 y es tan satisfactorio escuchar esto y ver los comentarios siempre motiva a seguir adelante para aprender mas ! Felicidades excelente ejecución!

Man, you are getting some great tones brother… Awesome playing as well! Thanks for sharing!

Never knew this song was easy to play, always thought there was wayyy more to it all

Hell yeah brother

Are you using the fender tonemaster pro?

Loved it!!! It sounds amazing and deep🎉🎉

Man see you work through these assignments is inspiring to take songs and learn them. I hope you're doing well in Berkeley or if you finished by this point i hope you have bright career ahead!

He played every single note in the recording, right tone, right intention, the works. That's harder than DragonForce, people

The probuckers sounded better in all three positions, but especially the bridge. Thanks for the demo, you saved me from wasting my money on the Wilkinsons.

Hi Mike! I hope you're doing well and Berklee is going great? Take Care! ❤

This guy is ass sorry.

Did you learn by TAB or 100% by ear?

🎉

hello Mike, I really like your postings of these guitar course assignments, it gives me an overview of what each of these course teach, I just finished the blues guitar course this semester and am considering my next course, do you think classic rock guitar course is harder than blues guitar? I am considering either the advanced blues guitar or classic rock guitar. Thanks!

Not quite. Youre suppose to mute low e

There’s a lot going on here his tone is very pleasant and the timing and melody is really nice he’s musically playing this song it’s out front where it needs to be to be it’s in the mix where it needs to be played very well done

Can you share what the Berklee critique was? Seems pretty spot on with the BMW version from Abraxas. Tone is good, sustain is good, vibrato spot on. all the things that I think make a Carlos piece a Carlos piece. Very good attention to detail IMO.

Pro buckets have s brighter top end(almost Brittle). Wilkinson are mellowed but not muddy. Both are useable.

I heard this in the other room and I thought, "Oh, my daughter put on Santana. Cool." LOL! Nice job, dude. Hope all is going well with your studies in Boston.

This is lovely playing - but I do understand the ‘all it takes comments’ NOT because this playing wasn’t great!!! But because some amazing cats have been turned down… Tim Henson of Polyphia was rejected from Berklee! And that is quite odd in context

Thank you very much I want to join in the Spain Center and this video is essential for the preparation

honestly, if i was a multi millionaire, i'd spend the rest of my life getting degrees in art, psychology, and music - every so often putting out a recording, piece of art, or collaborative work and then going back to learning more and being around other curious, creative, and ambitious people - learning every rule just so i could break them

The timing on this is INSANELY perfect. Like, you are a human metronome playing this piece. I think that's what most impressive about this performance. It feels like your heart is beating with the rhythm

Any could help me? I am an International student. I want to study in USA in Music Production. But I can't afford more than $10000-12000 tuition fees in a year. I need a scholarship also, could you guys suggest me which university will be best for me? thanks, advance.

Great playing. Hit every note and every bend spot on.

ah mighty Berkeley, a haven for misunderstood dancers of pure moonlight that will be made to cry every time the sun comes up, hoping that this time round, the moon comes up harder, and if it doesn't, well then you are just good enough my dear boy hahahahahaha

I dont have anything against this guy, But the comments are hilarious, If almost every top comment is painstakingly defending (an audition) something is obviously wrong here, and im about to point it out First, complimenting an audition is like complementing someone for having good posture while doing pushups An audition is: you play and show the ends of your abilities, while showing where you need to work on things, A song thats difficult, but not out of your range. Thats what you should choose. Choosing a beginner song and just playing it clearly isnt really what an audition is for. Congrats you played the song correctly And i really need to add, youre all saying he played it "so amazingly" but honestly, there was a ton of mistakes through this video. The tremelo picking was hilarious, i didnt think that part would be difficult for him Aw i really dont want to offend the uploader, its the comments that are making me cringe. I dont really see anyone insulting this guy, just an army of probably terrible guitarists defending him profusely Probably, and likely because they know there was a lot of mistakes here And thats really ok, the instructors want to see where you need work However gwtting accepted for a beginner level song is a little weird, i will say, But if he can read sheet music, and complete all his assignments, he should be fine in music school Really i think schools should be set up in a way that anyone can come and benefit, without an audition, i think auditions should be reserved for real jobs. If someone is terrible at playing, i think they should still have a right to attend. Lots of terrible beginners became great musicians , Infact all great musicians were terrible beginners I forgot about what i was talking about Ohhh yeah, all the whiney defender boys on this comment thread are very likely terribly bad at guitar, they thought this was a great cover, im certain even the guy who uploaded this video new there was a ton of space to perform this wayyyyy way better

Congratulations You Deserve It

" free booze free dues thats freddyyyy "

man no distortion or overdrive? need to do another one

The title is troll, it's a cover of Santana, but not a Berklee entry

Great song choice

I got the wilkinson wvc, some 57 Copy, for my Epiphone les paul. They sound good for me. The guitar has cts pots orange caps doe. For hard rock stuff, its much better then the DiMarzios i had on it. But cant compare to the Burstbuckers® on the other Epi 59. Who wants good affordable pickup, Wilkinson got them.

Excellent tone and timing man.

Idk... Sounds pretty good, but also sounds like a student playing an imperfect note for note cover song. I learned this song years ago, and can play it at least as well. Didn't realize it was that easy to get into Berklee. Maybe they just wanted your money. Congratulations! Work on those bends

This guy actually pays attention to musicality

Interesting it seems simple but I can tell its a bit confusing

Really great, and to hell w the haters. Also VERY nice touch playing it on a PRS, which ok Carlos didn’t use on the studio version, but has played it live on PRS for decades. And PRS Rules. Making pedals now--whuuuuuuut

i like your guitar :)

Congratulations! Berklee was the dream when I was getting out of highschool, but the funds were not there. I wish you well in your journey in music discovery!

Congrats dude!!

I must say, you got allot of emotion off while still being conscious that you're playing and auditioning. There where brief moments where you kinda said "f" it and jammed out and those moments really shined through! It can be hard to approach such a deep passion in a purely scholastic manner!! Good shit bro!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Keep inspiring others to always be a student. I've got 10 years to practice for my audition 🤙

I thought this was tasty. If you got this far a school like Berklee will turn you into a beast. Cheers.

Very smooth and soothing
