Really good playing.
Like you have already said, probably a slightly lighter strum on the up stroke.
I think this is a pretty difficult song to play with a pick. It requires a lot of accuracy to pick out the melody.
I play this song fingerstyle. If anyone is finding this song difficult it might be an idea to try it fingerstyle.
Thanks Mark. I'd like to see your fingerstyle version if you get a chance to post it.
