Man that's coming along just great! I thought it was really well played, a few notes need to be a little clearer, which I'm sure you are aware of and is only a minor point and then you have it absolutely nailed. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the upload.

I love that tune and I really enjoyed your version of it. As Tovo said, it could be cleaned up a bit, but that'll come with repetition. You're about 99 percent there.

Tom,
Great rendition of Hula Blues! The way that you play the extended section is particularly good. When I did this one Neil gave me some advice regarding fingerings, in particular when you are ascending on the first string as you head towards the part where you play at the 12-14th frets. He said not to ascend using one finger (I think you are using 1st and 2nd) but to use your first finger, then 4th, then first, then 4th. I hope you know what I am trying to say, if not, then I might recommend refering to the advice he gave me in the student review. Great version though, really liked it. Beaker.

Good video Tom, you have it under control. Looks like a good challenge but you make it look easy.

Really nice Tom. A bit of a finger exercise that you seem to have down quite nicely. I can see going to the higher frets would be nice for a cutaway guitar but you're doing it great.
Thanks for posting

That's a nice instrumental piece. A good one to play for friends and family. You pretty much have it down. A bit more practice perhaps, but you obviously have more than a solid handle on it.

Well done. I really enjoyed this and agree that this would be a great song to break out while company is over. As others have said, you are 99% there. Just a few more notes and you've got it. Thanks for sharing. You made that look easy.
