      He doesnt also play the bassline, i see many elements missing or played WRONG, he played them wrong so it will be easier to sing. He also doesnt focus on his voice, and you can hear many pitch mistakes, it's pretty obvious its hard for him, but he still does it. Props to him for that, but i feel he should've still praticed a bit more

      @@danieldoyle6333 Not quite. I can hear it, but he simply doesnt play the bass line. You can even see his thumb doesnt go back up to the C string. He plays the first low bass notes, but the fact that he doesnt implement the open C between transition notes means that the bassline just doesnt exist. Atleast not the proper one.
