Here is a cover of "You are More" by Tenth Avenue North. I chose this song to learn for a number of reasons. First, it is a song of second chances about living from the inside out. Second, I really like the finger picking intro to this song. Third, I wanted to practice the hidden pick technique where I am palming the pick for the finger picking intro and then sneaking it out and using it for the strumming. I also had a little fun experimenting with the video background for this song.
Let me know what you think and what would help move it along.

Hi Buddy,
Well I am not familiar with the song, but I liked it and thought you did a really good job. Nice magic trick with the pick too :laugh: The background choice was interesting, were you trying to hide? :laugh:

Pretty good Bud. I'm don't know the song so there isn't much I can add to it. So how did you do the video like that? Sound wise I thought the guitar and vocals sounded very good. The only thing I would add is that either go to a ligher pick or lighten the strum a bit as it has a pretty good contrast to your fingerpicking. As always another enjoyable performance by you.

Sounds good to me Buddy although its new to me. That's right inside your comfort zone to sing.
I like the camera angle and lighting...as if you were playing besides a camp fire. Were you in your barn?

Chris, yep I was up in the barn, I just put up a dark background to see how it would look. Kind of fun playing with the camera a little.
