Very nice playing Brad, quite an improvement on your strumming from the previous ones. You also kept a nice rhythm in the intro , the picked notes were not rushed. Your singing is very good as well. You have a more controlled voice as you are not trying to go too high. Overall, I find this is your best video so far. During the 2 solos, it is the same section as the intro. It is difficult to have a similar ending as it goes with cello and horns. It think it is best to do the intro after the last singing section and end there. You can always do the solo Neil added in the lesson (like in the preview of the lesson) which is not for the faint of heart.
A few things you might want to look into is during the singing part , the D and the Am are getting a little pass of 7th (not really 7th but removing the pinky and putting it back and the index for the Am) starting on the first beat when he lands on them. Also at the end of the same section going from C to Am, you could add a descending bass line (C-B-A) before strumming the Am and going to the G. When doing the D, there is a F# (fat E string, second fret) added to the note which you do with your thumb
Cheers

I agree with Marc 100%. Your best work to date Brad. The improvement in your strum and your accuracy is really significant.
I say keep working on this as it's real close to being spot on.

Brad- nice job buddy! Good solid playing and vocals to boot. Like Marc said, the first mini solo comes in at the end of the intro and before the lyrics begin. You play the first 6 notes of the little bass riff starting at G and then go into the solo.
The second, much longer solo, comes after the first two verses and right before the final verse. Most acoustic players omit the long solo because without anyone backing you up it gets tedious and detracts from the flow of the song. Neil does a great job treating it as a shortened chord solo but most of us aren't that talented! LOL!
Anyway, great job and keep 'em coming!!
Cheers! :cheer:

Nice job Brad, huge progress being made. The intro solo is not as hard as it looks/sounds try it separately at first you'll get it. The other solos well they are a different ball game all together. I have a version somewhere by a YTuber which s great need to dig it out and post it.
