Drip #2 CSN&Y 4+20 - MarkM

Good afternoon, evening, morning, etc......
Well since I've been in this "Stills" tuning now for several days I've had plenty of time to try this song out and practice. So with a few hours over the weekend behind me I'm posting this "attempt"
Instead of Drip lessons I'll do a drip video for review. I can only hope that I get better over time as this is pretty ugly. I had never really tried fingerpicking until now as I always got bored or frustrated and I could always go back to my comfort zone. Well, thanks to Neil, I'm in this tuning waiting for more Suite: Judy Blue Eyes with nothing else to do but work on 4+20. Kudos to Neil for indirectly getting me to do this.
So here is the first attempt. It was very difficult to get my strumming mentality to work a thumb and 3 fingers independently. I hope you recognize the song.

Was traveling yesterday so I had a day away from practice. Pick this song back up today and it's amazing to watch/feel the muscle memory taking place. I literally just practiced for maybe an hour before I took this. It's still pretty harsh but better I hope. So here is V.2. Please give any pointers to improve on.
