Hi Al,
You looked relieved when you were done :laugh:. I remember you trying to show us that in NY. I just couldn't get it. Looks like you're doing rather well with it. Keep at it.
Thanks for the look.
Bob

Hi Al, I like the sparse strumming on the one-finger chords, the feel was spot-on. I was looking forward to the singing (maybe next time?).
A few less strokes on the strumming on the verse to give it space to breathe would be nice.
As ever, a really nice upload.

Al, You have really moved this a long ways and it is sounding pretty fine. Took me a minute to figure out what was around your neck at first.

Aaaah very very nice effort Al!
I was indeed expecting you to sing as well, since I'm sure you could, but nevertheless, well done, keep at it and the rough edges will be gone before you know it!

That's sounding pretty good to me Al! Looks like it is WELL on its way. Seems to me you could work on accenting some of your strong-beat accents a little more. Just a minor point...anyway. Great job, Al!

Nice job Al. Slight sync problem when I watched it but it sounded like you've got it nailed. I'd vote for singing next time too - seems this would be pretty much in your range. Not so much for us Johnny Cash impersonators.
Wasn't sure if the relief was due to getting through the song or if you were just enjoying two and a half minutes of peace from the in-laws!

Hey there! Sorry- I uploaded and had to run.
I've worked on this for a while now so I thought I'd post where I'm at with it.
Am now reading and loving the comments- especially those with tips/pointers.
As you know, I'm always trying to improve my strumming...
Will respond soon..

Really tough strumming song, I thought you did a nice job and are well on your way to having it nailed. Keep up the great work,
Craig
