Buddy,

Great to see some of the harder lessons being posted.

As always the signing and playing together is amazing (I know I still owe my singing post!)

One recommendation on the strumming parts is that you have to be sure to miss the down beat on beat 3 by dampening the strings and then barely catch the up as though the whole beat is in the background.

It helps in doing this if you clearly accent the bass on beat 1 and accent the down beat of beat 2 and miss the up of 2.

I only sort of know what I am talking about to so consider the source.

Great job keep posting.

Buddy,
Nice job. I love this song and I've worked on it on and off for quite awhile. It's fun to play. I think your voice suits it well. You've inspired me to get back to it.

Some great guitar work there Bud and your voice suits this tune really well I think.

Buddy, including your family scenes was a real sweet gesture. You are generous to share and it can only help ...

This is another in a long list of tunes I learned the wrong way before TG ... so I do understand the effort it takes to play it right (haven't done that yet).

Thanks for this !

Buddy,
Great great work on such a beautiful song. This one should be part on your open mic shows, you play it and sing it so well.
Thanks for inspiring me,

Good job Bud. This one is a bit out of your zone. Great to see your stretching yourself a bit here. Looks like you pretty much have all the chords and timing down. The vocals were outstanding. Really impressive there. Now its just down to making very small adjustments as you get more familiar with the song. This was a very nice surprise to see. Keep at it and I can't wait to see the follow up. Oh and great pictures at the end.
