That is very nice Dekotaj, it is very well played. I cannot find any suggestions as everything looks perfect. Like that you made your first try at singing with the humming.

Happy New Year

Marc

Several comments:
1) Great videos. I've always thought these Jim Croce songs were tough to play, so I have avoided them. You managed to make them look reasonably easy. Well done.
2) Listening to you hum, my first thought was "this guy must have a great singing voice". I think you should rethink your position on not singing. I had a similar position several weeks ago, but changed it when I found a song that required little to nothing in terms of range. My video was a reasonable effort, not great, but it's a start.
3) Regarding the computer/recording aspect of your videos, there are several people who regularly visit the forum who an help you with this. If you have a windows based computer, I'd recommend using audacity (free, downloadable recording software) and windows moviemaker (video editing software that comes with computers with windows operating systems). Both of these products are fairly easy to use, and truth be told, I had alot of fun learning how to use them. I know only the basics for both, but they seem to suit my rudimentary needs.
4) You should consider buying a camera tripod. I don't believe they are unreasonably expensive and would enhance the quality of your videos.

Great videos you have posted. I learn alot from the student videos and am always pleased when I see that new one has been uploaded to the site.

Michele, I represent that! :)

Dekotaj, I just read your bio. It said you've been playing for 2 years. I think you left out the 'professionally' part of that sentence!!

I prefer fingerpicking to strumming, and hearing such a good version of this song has moved it up on my to do list. Thanks for posting.
