I was great the first few times, but I was a little distracted by the kookie expressions.
Amazing!
Something to aim for, that's for sure.

You're the sweetest Shel.... ....
It did take some work but all the kind words make it so worthwhile, everybody is just absolutely great!
So what's kookie? :unsure: ....I find myself still looking too serious in there though, haha!
(I have to admit, the more Í watch it the more.....hmmm....well....am more than glad that you find the opposite, but I guess, I can't be really objective on my own playing...thank you so much!)

To top it off, I just realized that you played this tune with the guitar resting on your left side ("classical" position), even though you have it on your right side in other videos.
Changing from your usual guitar position adds another level of difficulty to being able to play it so fluidly ... too much !
Thanks for the inspiration, Vanessa.

Kookie - silly, funny, fun, off-beat, eccentric, a little crazy (in a good way).
Yep - I get the feeling too serious bit, which was why I got so daggy at the end of my 'Heart of Gold' video. In fact anyone watching MY videos might think I never smile.
And you know that we are all our own worst critic. I'm never 100% happy with any of my videos and I'm guessing the vast majority of people who post feel the same. Lap up the praise. If we thought you sucked we'd find a way to tell you. Yeh, like that's going to happen (the sucking bit).

Haha, the end of your NY-song made me laugh big time! 
You got a lot of self-deprecating (is that the right word?), that's great and funny as well!
Well fortunately you have a laughing video out there, haha, that one is quite convincing that you can smile!
If we thought you sucked we'd find a way to tell you Hahaha, oh boy again! :ohmy:

Hi Pierre,
Thanks for watching and your kind words!
And yep 'classical' position, it's true, playing popmusic or campfire songs and even fingerstyle-songs I do tend to play on my right side, but playing classical stuff I definitely switch to the left side wich is actually a must because the guitar really needs more 'resting points' or is it 'leaning points' (I'm not sure what the right word is).
As a child I did start out like that when learning to read standard notation and classical pieces and I stíll think it's the best and most solid foundation one can have when learning to play the guitar.. but I also líke playing classical pieces, they're quite challenging and really improve ones guitarskills, so I'm all for it!
Thanks again Pierre!

Ummm yeah. I think that's what you call "kick ass playing". You are the stuff Ness, and like Shel I love those facial expressions of yours. You are a great player that was very obvious from the time you first appeared, but also you are a great example of how to deliver a tune as a performance. You are always fun to watch, either doing Beatles and belting it out or doing a classical piece like this. I so very glad you are here, you are a joy to watch and I always learn something from you.
Great stuff.
