Hi Rick,

You seem to have the intro down pretty well and you look very relaxed with your picking. Keep on practicing and it'll be great.

Hey Rick. I thought the intro sounded sweet, really good. Nice tempo and clear notes. The strumming was a bit dead as pointed out, just practice on that. But you have the difficult bit down pretty well I think. Definitely continue to work on this one, it will be a good one for you in time.

Rick,

Another nice one. Great start so far. I tell you what..... you pick it and I'll strum it..... You made that guitar sound very good during the picking. Not sure if you changed your recording technique but it sounded really good. Keep it going. This is a great song.

Dudes thanks for the help

Yes It ws a bit of a sloppy technique
Sit up boy, stop slouchng lol
LOL, Of course your spot on.

Promise to do better guys
Picking is my focus
Because my strumming sucks
I can hear Neil Now " focus on your weakness my young apprentice"

Hey Mark dont suppose you can sing it too??

Seriously now, thanks, I do take your comments on board

Hi Rick,
Good start, and I know you will work out the kinks. I hope to follow your footsteps and work on some of the Paul Simon lessons. Your comments and posting of video are very helpful, and makes this a fun place to participate musically. I hope to see and hear more of your work on this song soon.

Wally
