Hesser - Windy and Warm
Thanks everyone for your comments. I have worked hard to get it to this point but, as I said before, lots of improvements can be made. There was a comment about the run I added to the song at around the 50sec mark in that it could use some base notes to go along with it. I agree and tried to get some in there. I found two problems though, the standard base line did not work with where I was playing up the neck ie the open 6th string and because it is a fairly quick little run I needed to focus on keeping the timing as I played it. I played around a little to find something that would work but couldn't pull it together. Maybe if Neil gets a chance to have a look he (or someone else??) could offer some suggestions. Anyway, I wanted to include the run because A: I really like playing it and B: It kind of added my own little touch to it.
This is really a fun song to play and I encourage everyone to give it a go. I find it changes a little everytime I play it and it has got me thinking outside of the box a little.

Hi Big Bear,
I have been trying to learn it on and off for about a month now I guess. I really sat down and learned each section one at a time and then slowly put it all together. I found the final section to be the crux for me. But all in all i thouhgt Neil did an excellent job of teaching it. It just took some time for me to decide to post it! Are you working on it yourself?

Mike- you are my new hero! That's just fantastic! Clearly, you have talent I can only dream of.
I've been working on it, off and on, mostly off, for about 6 months but I'm really rigid and tight. That's why you impressed me with your ability to "let it go". Maybe I need to re-visit Neil's videos, one at a time, to get back on track.
I'm really having trouble going from the Dm back to the opening Am and getting those pull-offs to sound right.
Well, you are a great inspiration. I'd better get back on it but you have really set the bar high!
Congrats on your hard work!! You should be proud!
