It's got a neat little loop function that's cool to mess with. Anywhoo, I laid down something similar to Maggot Brain (P-Funk tune) and tried to improvise over it. It's not really a cover but it's sorta similar.
I just use the video function on my phone as cheap way to record every now and then, but would like your opinion on this here:

Does it just sound like wanking or do you think it comes close it all to pulling off the right vibe?
I know what song you are talking about. You definitely captured the vibe of it. Nice playing! You hit a couple of barely bum notes, but nothing too bad, and when I improvise, I do the same. I have improvised so much though, I can turn those sour notes into something I did on purpose. I dig it man. If you hit a bad note, just make it a part of your phrasing. If I get my skype up and running sometime, I can show you what I am talking about.
Feel is the most important thing, and you seem to have a lot of feel when playing. I give it an A.
