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.
