Tovo, I remember your 1st post. Your new version is so fantastic. I really like this update thing. Nice job. Beaker.

By the way, the vocals were really good as well as the guitar.
Thanks mate. I just think it shows the real value of the feedback we all receive not just from Neil (which is always great) but from our fellow members. Honestly, there's little chance that one could improve as much as we all have without such immediate feedback and great support.

Thanks so much for your kindness.

Tony,

Great Job my friend. This is what I love so much about TG, the support and synergy that is created by the videos and all the suggestions and support. It was a pleasure watching this video and seeing the tremendous change in your playing and singing. Wow, this is what it is all about for us !

Bud

Thanks Willem, I struggle a little with that as I find the timing difficult if I hold the notes too long, but I know your point is correct.

Brad thanks. Fortunately the video has improved a little after being uploaded and now it's not quite so black. Thanks for the comment.

Tony,do what you play in the vid, its all in the downs and up and miss one (fake),but stay with your fingers on that strings and they sounded legato,,i think.

I have the day off today, so I'm planning on spending quite alot of time on TG, getting caught up, practicing, etc. Watching this video was a great way to get my day on TG started. Several comments:

1) Your singing is such an asset for you, that I have to mention it even though I know it's not your focus right now. I really, really wish I could sing like you do.

2) I liked the shadowy video effect you created with your late night recording. I'm not sure it was intentional, but I found that I enjoyed it.

3) Strumming was smooth, controlled, flexible. Certainly better than previous videos. You kept time quite well.

4) I agree with Dennis regarding the "staccato" thing. He describes the issue better than I ever could, but I also noticed that minor problem right away. I would think you just need to keep the string fretted a bit longer after hitting the note.

5) Those Bm7 chords were hardly "howlers", but I'd agree there is some room for omprovement there. As with nearly everything guitar related, a couple of more rounds at playing that song will likely clear up that minor problem.

6) This was a great effort overall. Certainly one of your best.
