Stuart- Thank you. It's often hard for me to look past the imperfections and see improvement, but I know that you are right. I went back and watched the video I posted almost exactly a year ago- Greensleeves- and even I can see that I've improved as a player. And I owe a lot of that to the support and encouragment I've received from friends I've made here at TG, as well as to the excellent lessons. I spent 2 years floundering, so it's nice to finally make some progress. But I still have a long way to go.

Thereshopeyet- Thanks! I'll confess that I sat down and tried to play it more than one time :) But I thought I'd just post the best attempt.

Well Suzi,

I have to admit I've never heard of this song, only saw this Arlo Guthrie playing on the Woodstock-festival doing 'Coming into Los Angeles ('Can you dig that: New York State Thruway is closed man...it's far out man'! :P )

But you've actually inspired me to try and learn this song and it's great fun to play! Thanks again for sharing!

(And thanks for yóur kind words as well! :blush: )

Suzi -

Great job! The level you've reached with your fingerpicking is impressive - and gives me hope ;)

Anton- Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed.

Vanessa- I'm sure this song would pose no problem for you, technically, but I must recommend it as a VERY fun song to play! I'm sure you'll have a blast with it!

Jeff- Thank you. There are a lot of excellent fingerpickers here at TG to learn from and be inspired by. I have a long way to go, but it's a fun journey.

Damian- Thank you! It's nice to see you posting more, too. I loved the collaboration you did with Al. Amazing vocals!

Suzi,

I haven't seen anything from you in a while and I thought you did a really great job. You seem very relaxed playing and it was a pleasure to watch and listen.

Thanks for sharing.

Bob

Bravo Suzi, you did a great job putiing your soul in it. The head following the rhythm is such a good thing, you are not just hitting notes, you are playing them. The ragtime feeling is there and you look comforable doing it (the head movement) . Notice by the end your were giving that slide more emphasis.

Very enjoyable, you have progressed so much

Marc
