After a couple of glasses of red this doesn't quite have the subtlety it might but hey...
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.

Very nicely played Dean... man you are knocking them out these past few days!
Can we have a slightly wider view angle next time... just to see if there is a top to your head.

Just for the sake of getting near to the in-built mic I have to get close, otherwise you'll see a nice wide shot of me playing a silent guitar...
I'm starting to get jealous of the guys with a proper set-up who sound so awesome... better seek some advice from Al I think.

I think I'm benefitting from more than 'a few' Marc if you think that but it's kind of you to say

Hey, Dean. Ok how many is that in the last few days? You must have been holding back and practicing like crazy for a while waiting to send a slew of 'em our way all at once lol. This is such a nice song and I liked to see it transposed to the guitar - it works nicely. Singing in your head on this one? I know I was!

Nice work again Dean. I've often thought about tackling this, one of my favourite tunes. Seeing you do it so nicely puts it back on my radar which is a beauty of the student video posts.
I would have assumed you just have rosy red English cheeks, but then you explained them! I myself like any wine....as long as it's red.
Nice job on the tune.

I had 4 months away to do some serious practice, there's plenty more where that came from... oh you'll be fed up of my daily posting soon enough.
Like all of Neil's arrangements I can honestly say i prefer to hear him play the melody than listen to the original, that's probably sacrilege to some, but his version of Wish You Were Here is transcendent.

Well done Dean! A very nice job on a beautiful song. Another one I have to add to the ever growing list!
Keep up the good work.
