PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

When I first heard this song played by Neil, I was blown away by the beauty of the melody and immediately decided that I had to learn this one right away. I was up half the night after he posted it trying to learn it! :)

Anyway, I wish it was a longer piece, but still it was a lot of fun listening to the actual PFM song and then try to get my playing to sound like it.

Nice work Tom,
I agree with you it's a lovely melody, you learn fast!
It's a nice practice piece. Why don't you try expanding on it yourself and seeing what you come up with?

I love the fact that Neil comes up with these atypical songs to teach, I hope he continues in the same way with more like this. Definitely another song for the 'to learn' folder in favourites.

Tom,

Very smooth I thought and with expression too.

I just amazed how much music there is out there to discover. I've been listening to the progressive rock that Neil's introducing this week like Camel, King Crimson and P.F.M. It's been fun!

Very nice work Tom.

I haven't seen the lesson yet, but it sure is a pretty song.

Thanks for posting.
