        Hi all, posting recording number 3! This one pre-dates when I learnt how to record properly so it’s a phone recording. The audio is therefore not great but I wanted to share anyway.

        Even though there are a few mistakes, I was happy that at the end of the second run through where I messed up I was able to improvise something that fit.

        Areas where I could have improved:
        – I mute some notes prematurely which affects the overall flow of the piece imho. I should have let them ring out.
        – the tone is a bit bland

        Area that I’m happy with
        – this felt very relaxed and natural to play
        – I improvised on the spot when I made a mistake.
        – this was one take (I think so anyway)
        – I think my timing and phrasing was accurate

        Would be interested in your thoughts. Happy to hear honest and brutal feedback as this helps me to improve.

        All the best
        Ben C
