Just the intro, 1 verse, and the outtro. A couple of off notes, but otherwise a reasonable effort.

Wow!! Excellent job Jay!
That tempo is tough to keep up (I speak from experience).
Looking forward to more of your vids!

Jay,
That was great. It looks like you're one of a few guitarists here at TG that have a lot of talent and tools to work with.
You probably already know your hand position could use some improvement which will make you an even better player, and you'll get a lot more advice on that, but man, that was a great performance. Good Job!
Is your axe a Yamaha LLxx?

Jay- excellent fingerpicking! As Wrench mentioned your left hand position needs to cup a little more but you manage to pull it off with a pretty strong baseball grip.
Neil may also mention your right hand position is a little straight. Your fingers need to point down a little more so your fingers attack the strings at closer to a 90 degree angle.
The biggest problem I saw is I think you have a blow in the song. At about 47-48 seconds you go back to the intro pattern instead of staying with the pattern that accompanies the verse. Check out Neil's tab and I think you'll see what I mean.
Great job and thanks again for sharing it with us! Cheers! :cheer:

Jay----Very nice picking.
I see that I am not alone with the lift hand grip. I have a great baseball grip as you can see if you see my video "Here comes the Sun" I have found it a real challenge to bring my wrist down to the more correct posistion as mentioned by Neil and the TG friends. I see you have two more vidios, so I am going to check them out. Talk to you later. It looks like I am in good company.
Thanks for posting.
