Busking Neil Young
Stuart very sweet relaxing sound that would sound awesome around the campfire or anywhere but i pictured myself listening around the fire, very cool. volume was a bit low which made it a bit hard to hear but everything else was sweet. thanks Brad

.Not quite up to the busking standard and a tune that i really find hard to get the rhythm to but i enjoy it nonetheless.

Hey Brad,
Other than the little timing problem we can help you with, that was excellent. I think you had a problem with the hammer-on and the descending bass going from C to G. I think all you need to do with the hammer-on is wait for it. Literally. You just need to wait for the hammer-on. In that little run in which you hear 4 notes resulting in an Em, you should pluck A, hammer-on to B for the second note, pluck D, and pluck E. That was 4 notes but only three plucks, and it takes 4 beats. Your timing problem is rushing the hammer-on so that measure is rushed into 3 beats. 4 beats - pluck-hammer-pluck-pluck. All 3 plucked notes are quarter-notes on beats, so they are plucked as downstrokes. Similarly, the descending bass run from the C chord down to G are also on beats, so all need to be downstrokes. In your video, it looked like you were alternating picking the notes on the run, which runs them out too fast. I haven't watched it in a year, but Neil's TARGET video on this was excellent.
Thanks for posting your video. Your rhythm and strumming have improved sooooooo much. It is obvious you are putting in some hard work, and you're getting good results. Busk more young man!

Hi Brad,
Nice job. I really like your singing and the timing on the strumming was great. Wrench has given some good advice on the bass runs, which is the only area that looks like it needs work, but I'm sure will come together quickly as you absorb those suggestions.
