Dean, you might make this song contagious ... seeing it played on a baby guitar makes me think it may be easier than I thought at first (famous "last words" ?).
Good vocals, and the balance between bass and high notes seems pretty good on that guitar for it's size ... not too "bright".
Thanks !

Beaker, Bob, Willem, thank you all, its coming along, I've been slowing it right down and that's helping the timing.
Pierre, I was impressed with this little guitar, it's fine for picking, it has a strong treble sound, but subtleties in the bass get lost in strumming.
Nesh, Suzi, had to have the camera close to hear the guitar, I was virtually whispering the vocals in parts you'll hear. I'm working on Blackbird now so next time

Hey Dean I just got to this after being away for a week or so. In Melbourne you say? Drop over, only 900km West. I really like this tune from the brilliant Eddie Vedder and I thought you did a great job of it, particularly given you were playing on the little guitar. Your video has helped me in my own effort to work out the arrangement so thanks for that also. I thought you sang it real well also. Would have liked to see your face though....unless you are in the witness protection program in which case I understand completely!
Tony, thank you for the invite, the scale of the place is a little overwhelming, but trying my best to make it a permanent move...
I look forward to your version, your voice will suit it perfectly and it'll sound more convincing on a Taylor than my mini! I'll try to record Blackbird soon if I can face the camera btw

Dean,
Great job on this. As others have said- suits your voice very well.
I actually find this song easier to play on a smaller guitar (GS Mini) than my full sized Martin. Easier stretches.
Thanks for sharing.

Dean,
Well it can easily be said that you have mastered that song. I really enjoyed this performance. Both the playing and singing were spot on to my ears. You made that little guitar sing for sure and I was surprised at the sustain for such a small box. Thanks for posting this up. You've made it look very easy which I'm sure it isn't. I'll have to check this lesson out again.
