Howdy Cap,

Hey Captain, really good job for a first attempt. I agree with all the other comments and would add that your playing needs some "air". A difficult term to define but your playing is almost staccato with no rests, breaks, pauses or anything else to add flavor to the song. It just keeps coming at you.

So as you continue to work on this great song think about varying the tempo just slightly so that every stroke isn't played and you let some of the notes sustain for a moment. Maybe slow it down a bit so you don't feel rushed and build some tension into those chord changes.

I think as you open up this song and then refer back to Neil's video lesson you will really begin getting the feel of a young guy growing older and dreading it.

Keep up the good work, you are making great progress. Thanks for sharng the video!

Cheers! :cheer:
