I guess the video didn't upload. I got a message from the site that it uploaded and would appear in this section, but I'm not sure that it did.

Well I don't know what happened either, bĂșt I did manage to watch your video earlier today on YouTube.
In anyway, I thought you did a very good job both playing and singing it!!
I would love to offer some feedback, but need to watch it again. Still my first impression was that I thought you did very well!
Hold on, checked again, but you're video is still on YouTube.
I think my first impression still stands! The phrasing of the lyrics could be a challenge, but you seemed just fine singing it, while keeping the playing in time. So indeed, very well done Jorma!

Love this song. It's always met with a raucous cheer when played at our local open mic.
You did a great job with this. I really liked the transition to the base/strum technique during the instrumental verse. The only thing I might suggest would be trying emphasize the note that you are hammering on while playing that last C chord (prior to heading back to the G).
Going back to watch it again.

Thank you! Yeah, I'm not really a singer (which is obvious), and the amount of words in the third verse to fit into the measure along with the higher pitch is definitely a challenge! It doesn't come through in the video, but I was almost laughing out loud at myself trying to get through all those lyrics toward the end
What I think this needs is some melody played during the instrumental parts between verses, although, might be easier said then done.

P.S. I had the guitar tuned 1/2 step down to help my voice marginally be in key

Great job!
I thought your strumming was very good, and honestly, your voice is fine! You are right on key as far as I can tell.
And it is a very good song choice.
Congrats!

That was great Jorme.
Your playing is solid and your singing is just fine. I've found that I like my singing better when I'm more relaxed and feeling more confident (whatever the reason). Sitting in front of a camera is not very conducive to feeling relaxed, but somehow it gets less intimidating the more you do it.
Keep them coming.
