TGNess;
... WOW .... that is SUCH an incredible version of this beautiful song. I really don't think I can do it justice with words alone. ...
I haven't watched your lesson Ness, but your playthrough ... it's SO true to the song as delivered on the piano; all the right melody fragments; all the right highlights, all the right nuances; it's SUCH a perfect translation.
And your playthrough is breaktaking. Please put this on your album. I adore it. The touching and beautiful emotion you deliver with your gorgeous playing, gooooorgeous vocals and that stunning guitar is just beyond description; except to say that I can't imagine ANYONE doing it any better and I love it just the way ... it is.
Your never fail to impress; even though we all know just how good you are ... you keep raising the bar.
Simply stunning....
I really did myself a disservice by getting to this so late. But gosh how you've made my day.

Gosh....what can I say?! :silly: :cheer:
Well i'm thrilled about éverything in your beyond generous compliments and observations. Needless to say, there was a lot of work/(practicing) in this one :blink: , as in finding a way to make it work. I've tried adding some percussion, strumming of course, flatpicking/strumming, but eventually i liked simply fingerpicking it best. And yes, i really wanted those few signature melody fragments in there. Dropped D certainly helped me out too.
So yeah, I'm sooooooo pleased that you love it .....just the way it is!!! :woohoo: And for making your day of course, you sure made mine as well!
Can't thank you enough dear Shel, what a loyal and supportive friend you are. xoxo
