So I know I'm posting a lot at the same time but I've been busy learning stuff and not had the chance to upload them for a while. I hope you don't get sick of the sight of me... if you haven't already

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.

Nice work Dean. Nice to see you as well. Damn that Jeff Buckley for wading into a river with his boots on. He had so much more music to give.

Dean,

I can't imagine anyone is sick of the sight of you yet, since this is the first video (to my knowledge) where we've actually SEEN you! I'm glad you pulled the camera back. It's always nice to put a face to the hands.

That was really great. I've looked at the Leonard Cohen version, but never the Jeff Buckley version. maybe I should have a go at it. Have you done both? Do you prefer this to the LC version?

I don't know what it is about songs with the capo up the neck, but I just love the sound, it's so expressive the way Neil plays it anyway. It was Never Going Back Again which brought me to this site along with the version of Here Comes the Sun capoed at the 7th... come to think of it I also put up versions of Wond'ring Aloud, Little Martha, and Romeo and Juliet all capoed.

BTW a while ago I put up Little Martha where you could see me, Michele had hinted that I should!

Maybe you need to buy yourself a mandolin instead of a 2nd guitar!

I'll have to check out your version of Little Martha. That's a great song.

That was very nice. I admire anyone that can fingerpick cause I find it impossible!

Thanks Bob, Dave, it's another I'd love to sing but not quite got the pipes to do it justice...

Very nice playing Dean. I have never tried the song but since Tony and yourself love it so much, it must be worth playing. Interesting the thumb only at first.

Great video
