Sounding really good Dean, you got the 'roll' pretty well down!!
I'm missing one thing though, an alternating (or filler) bass note on like beat 4 and beat 10. In particular when playing a chord for 6 beats (I mean when the melody starts).
You know what I mean?

Bob, thank for the comment; Willem, cheers, I'll keep working on the transitions.
Vanessa, I know what you mean and just tried it with the alternating bass and it sounds much better. It'll keep working on it. Is the roll overdone? I lose perspective when playing something over and over so I can't tell any more if it's too much...

Dean:
You certainly won't ever hear any "criticism" from me. You play very beautifully. The only advice I can offer, is to KEEP POSTING these amazing covers. I can't wait to see what is next.
You really have such solid hand placement and clear picking. I also notice that you do not seem rushed when you play, and that translates to those crisp, clear notes.

Hi Dean, great job! I always watch out for your posts.
This is one of several pieces I am working on, just started this one recently. It's a lovely tune and very nice to play.
I noticed (I think) that when there are two quick strikes on the same string, you use the same finger, i.e. the designated string finger.I don't have the music in front of me, but I'm sure its the high e string. Anyway, I would use the designated string finger and another finger to play the second strike because I feel it's more efficient. I used to not do this and kept the designated fingers in place, but I've heard Neil mention in some lessons to change fingers for speed and ease. Just thought I would throw that out there. I think it flows better doing this.
Keep posting, I, like most others here enjoy your playing, as your movement is effortless looking. B)
