A couple of new things for me with regard to this video. 1) I sang as I played. I had to read the words, though, as the lyrics had not been committed to memory. 2) I used a new higher tech USB microphone, and I do believe the sound quality is better.

Nice job Jay

You have come along way in a very short time, and I mean that only from the singing perspective. You seem very relaxed while singing and playing.......something you would not have done only a few short months ago.

Oh and your playing is spot on as usual ( why wouldn't it be for a human metronome) lol

Bravo

Tammy

Jay congratulations mate. That was superb. I know you have worked really hard to get to a point where you can play and sing at the same time and the result is just wonderful. You have a really nice voice, I'd love to be sitting in a pub and have you playing in the corner, I'd certainly think you belonged there.

This isn't a tune I know but it tells a wonderful story and you told it beautifully.

Only comment, I struggled to hear, I thought the sound quality was fine but the volume was quite low?

Great job mate, really terrific.

Jay,

That was awesome. You are SO confident in your fingerpicking! Do you know how little you looked down at your hands? You must practice 24/7.

The singing was really good as well. But I'd loosen up more if you can. (look at me giving advice like I've sung in a million videos).

And technically it was great as well-- very clean. But could have used a bit more level as Tony said.
