Great job on this beaker. One of my favorite Stills songs. I know there is not a lesson on this here, but watching you and then Neil's review should give me enough to try it.
Btw, I read somewhere that this song made Ray LaMontagne quit his job and become a professional musician.
Thanks for submitting it!

Thanks a million Neil! I'm going to work on your suggestions. You are right, when I saw the video of my playing, I realized I was playing too fast! I'm working on slowing it down. And I can't believe I didn't think of keeping the bass going. When you mention it, it seems obvious. Oh well, I will work on that too. thanks again, Beaker.

Thanks for your comment Harry. I appreciate it. I heard that story about Ray LaMontange as well, pretty cool. I will also suggest when you are learning this song, to check out You Tube for a version of Stephen Stills Playing it. It might be helpful and it will for sure be inspirational! Good luck!
PS.... also do a forum search for treetop flyer, I asked Neil a question about it in the "ask Neil" section and he gave some tips there as well.
