The advantage of not editing your song, and just playing it over and over until you are more satisfied, is that you get the practice and your next song will automatically be easier and better.

It is easy with this instrument into getting "trapped" into substituting technology for artistry.
If a song is produced entirely by sequencing, then, this is an art by itself and can produce a rendition that is superb and without noticeble errors. This is another area of expertise from live playing and my hat goes off to those who can do this.

My feeling is that when played "live" it should not be edited in any manner or any extra tracks added except to use track four as an added voice for Technichord purposes.
After all, our purpose here is not to produce professional or commercial performances, nor try to outdo each other, but to have fun and gain knowledge and ability as a by product.
I, personally, have enjoyed each and every song that has been published on Cees' site, regardless of the level of expertise of the player, from rank beginner to the Pro's.
Our real aim should be to encourage everyone to participate without intimidation or without a feeling of being inadequate.
Just my thoughts.
