I tightened up on the timing and added the singing, (what little there is) and tried to be more random with the picking. Any and all advice welcome.

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.

Cheers Jason, 'From The Morning' is next on the list :) Hope it's a little easier to nail down than this one!

That will be a good one too. I have a TAB for it in the following tuning

6-C
5-G
4-C
3-F
2-C
1-F

The picking in there would certainly pose a serious problem for me. The tempo is pretty quick. I think that will be a great one for you to tackle. Can't wait to see your first go. :)

I have really been enjoying my recent exposure to Mr. Drake. I like "Blues Run the Game" and "Time of No Reply". He certainly has a great body of work.

Great, great video. Your best yet in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed that. My only thought in terms of improvement, and I say this carefully as I think that rendition was nearly spot on, is that you might try to slow it down just a bit. Vocals, by the way, were just right. Really well done.

I have it as CFCFCF, it's very rapid but the best thing to do is ignore the intro until you get the main verse down.
I'll listen out for those tracks btw.

Thanks for the advice Jay, I'll work on the tempo, I always tend to err on the side of too fast. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the compliment :)

Dean,

Not heard of Nick Till you started posting him here. Sure do like what I'm hearing. Will have to go to the tube and check him out.

As far as you performance. Enjoyed it very much. Only advice I might give if I was listen to it at, say, and open mic. And not that anything was wrong with the vocals. In fact sounded great. But I would try to get the vocals a little more out in front of the guitar.

Bravo Sir. Kevin
