Very nice. The only issue that I could see was a timing issue with some of the strumming and the Em hammer-on. This is one of those songs that I need to go back and review. It's such a classic, and I think all acoustic guitarists need to learn this song. I enjoyed your version.

Hey Willem, I think Bear's advice about the down strokes needing to be dominant is spot on. I think he always provides really good advice and that's another example. Thanks for your harmonica contribution as well. Good on you for posting mate.

Willem - It's sounding really nice. You've picked up the timing thing already - once you get that you'll have nailed it. Nice clean, clear sound too. Thanks. Michele

Willem its coming along nicely, IMHO the first 8 beats in the original are palm muted Em7 slowly rising in volume to a crescendo, then three beats of D before going to the Em for 3 beats then the hammer on on the 2 fret A string then 2nd fret on D string then open D string. Your strumming of the verses is really good, keep at it mate.

Willem,

I think your timing is a bit off. When you go from the Em to D and then the riff, you are running them to close to each other. They should have a pause there. A missing half beat. Yours is all jumbled together and you lose definition of the riff. The rest sounds good.

All due respect Andy but I think your wrong, it goes from Em7 to D then to Em then the riff no pause. What may cause confusion is that in the original Neil plays partial chords and softer up strokes in places.

Neil H jump in anytime lol!
