Thanks everyone for watching and the nice comments.
Bill, you are right the song still needs work to be performance ready. Some of the pauses were intentional, others due to not having the song fully up to speed. It's hard to know the best way to learn a new song. Is it better to learn it first in perfect time with a metronome and then go back and adjust the song as you would like to interpret it, or is it better to plan out in advance how you would like to interpret and perform it and then learn it that way from the start. For example, I'm playing the first 3 bars in first position which differs from how John Renbourn plays it and Neil teaches it in the lesson. I feet that I get more of the fretted and open strings ringing and like the sound better. I'll be interested to hear Neil's feedback.
The guitars in the background are an old Alvarez acoustic from high school...and a Collins CL Deluxe.
And Jay, all have to do is start talking and my patient's fall asleep! Well, maybe the nitrous helps too...
Good to hear from you guys and I hope everyone has a great New Year!

Ron,
Those are interesting questions. I would think the first method would be better. Knowing a piece cold, then adding your own interpretation seems to me the better route.
Personally, I've never been a counter or a metronome user. I think it goes back to my youth when I was shy and couldn't bring myself to "count aloud" as my piano teacher was always telling me to do. When I was in junior high and high school I played trumpet in the band, so I always had the conductor and the percussion section to do the counting for me (except for the rests...1234,2234,3234,4234 etc
Now playing solo, I just do my own thing. Happy New Year!
