I am getting more comfortable with the cadence of the words, but I still stumble a little. Performance anxiety and nerves makes me all of a sudden forget what the next chord is sometimes. The kind words of encouragement I have received are helping give me license to keep croaking out into the microphone. Thanks for your critiques and advise.

Very nicely done!!!! I really enjoyed watching your performance. I thought the playing was very strong. You kept a good beat and the tempo was perfect. Great job on the bass runs and chord changes. I thought the singing was very good as well. You got better as the song went on. Forgetting about the camera always helps. You could tell that was happening here. You have a great skill in that you can sing and play at the same time. You'll have this song nailed with a little more practice I'm sure. Thanks for sharing.

Wally I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that, what a vast improvement mate! You actually have something many would kill for, which is a very unique voice that I think is nicely suited to this great tune. Please keep working, it's not quite there yet, but it is getting close and once you have it nailed it will be a very impressive number for you. I tend to rave on about phrasing, but once you are more comfortable, I think you won't feel the need to rush the lyrics to fit them in and the number will be more relaxed and enjoyable for you.
Great work.
Great work.
Wally the guitar is coming along fine, as was telling you in another video you posted, you should consider more advanced songs. You are pretty much in control except for the camera jitters, but who doesn't.. You do not have to sing right away, you could learn something more rhythmic or more chords complicated.
As Tony was saying, your voice is really impressive,, it reminds me of Roger Whitaker. If you could gain confidence and push your voice you might be surprised. I am sure you can achieve a wider range. You should try.
Great work
