jayswett Kathy's Song guitar lesson review upload
This isn't a Target Song, but it's a great song nonetheless, especially when covered by Eva Cassidy. Have a listen to her version if you haven't had the pleasure already. This song is not comfortably within my vocal range, but I took a shot at it anyway, even though my 8 year old tells me I sound too "squeaky". As always, I'd like to hear suggestions for improvement, other than sounding less "squeaky."
Wow Jay the playing is spectacular from my point of view. Just great, I couldn't possibly offer a suggestion for improvement. This is one I'll be very keenly waiting for Neil's review on.
With the singing, I have found it frustrating that many songs I love are a bit out of my range. I'm going through that right now actually. This is where I think you should experiment a bit with a capo and see if you can get it into a key that you are more comfortable with. i could see/hear you struggling with it but having said that, tremendous kudos for anyone who adds vocals, it's really very challenging.
Did I mention the playing was spectacular??

Awesome Jay!! I really liked that alot. I know the song well and you played it great. It's been a little while since I've last heard that song and after listening to this I think I need to dust off that album (well find it on the ipod) and give it a listen. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Like the others have said, I can offer no advice on the song, as your fingerpicking skills are well beyond mine. I truly admire your efforts in that category. I also look forward to the possibility of a review on this one. The singing will get better as the confidence grows. I like the PIP style of sing along though, as it frees you up to fingerpick like a madman....
As always, I really enjoy your uploads.

Jay, excellent job!! One of my all-time favorite S&G songs. I used to play it and sing it all the time, but never found a comfortable rhythm so it was different from one time to the next. You hit it great!
Is there a particular tab that covers your fingerpicking? I'd love to see the pattern you used.
I thought the singing was good and would have liked more volume. Let us hear you!
Overall, I really enjoyed that. Now I'll have to keep watching it over and over until I catch the picking pattern. Great job!!!

The Eagle has landed!...(crude attempt at golf-term humor, sorry)Very crisp, clear tone, rock steady. I'm no singer & I hate to disagree with your youngster but I thought your singing sounded pretty decent. (No-Mulligan Needed...) And, not to go off on another tangent, but are you playing an Alvarez there? ( I like those, very underrated guitars in my book.)
Anyways, you and some others @ TG have given me some initiative to further develop my finger picking...Thanx. Cori
