Having broke a finger-nail I looked for songs to play with 2 fingers and it was this or Blackbird.
Timing is a little suspect but I'm still getting used to the tiny neck on this travel guitar so I'm gonna blame that...
p.s.
Thanks Brad, you're a gent

Well played and well sung. Are you playing that on a baby guitar ? Nice finger picking on this well.

Cheers Bud, it's a Cort Earth Mini, not bad for a cheap banger while I'm away from my Martin

That was really good Dean and I know how difficult it can be playing on a smaller fretboard. Great job! Where are you now on you travels?

Very nice performance Dean, your finger picking is very constant . Not easy to keep the flow of quick picking and it sounds perfect. Great singing too.

Craig, thanks, that strech is too easy on a wee guitar, it probably gives me bad habits.
Anton, thanks for the comment, I'm trying to do more 'singing' tunes but it's a challenge.
Cori, you always give good encouragement, it's appreciated my friend.
Chris, I must admit the distance between strings is the hardest to take into account, it makes it hard to be accurate and fast with the thumb especially on the first measure of C in the verse on the middle four strings, it's so bunched up. I'm in Oz for a few months btw, in Melbourne.
Marc, thank you, I hope the more I practice, the singing and playing become separate activities I can consciously focus on during the song. At the moment, having just learnt it, they are both a handful I can't say I have either really 'under control'.
