@Severin, Nice picking! That was an awesome compilation of bloopers! The editing & special effects were fantastic! It’s all part of the process, I think everyone can relate to the faces, the noises, the sometimes frustration, and the - “Ok, one more time…” that this video portrays so very well :grin::rofl::woozy_face::crazy_face::+1:t2::blush: Thank you for posting, definitely enjoyed that!

Well on your way!
If I might make one suggestion…slow it back down some and concentrate on finishing/playing all the notes your rolls.
