Hey Mark, good post, definitely much better today. The strumming is smoother and has more finesse as others have said. Also noticed that the chord transitions are now flawless while it was pausing slightly before.

This is a good exercise.

Willem,
Great progress in two years! Much more steady and clean. The biggest thing to me though, is being able to sing along while playing. This is a difficult song to sing and play (at least for me!). Sorry to see that you lost the bird from the intro! He flew away??? :laugh: :laugh:

Much, much better, Willem. Aside from the fact that you've cleaned up your playing a lot, the tempo is now much more steady. Good job.

Willem, Sounds great, I agree with Craig, tough song to play and sing to. Your fingerpicking is great, keep it going!

Just now catching up on this thread, sorry for my lateness!

Mark- I loved your new version of Cry Baby Cry. Way better than your old one. Your strumming is so much more delicate and I thought your singing sounded GREAT in this video! By far your best vocal effort yet, in my opinion. Well done!

Willem- I also see a lot of improvement in your video of Blackbird. Much steadier tempo, fewer "dead" notes, and vocals added, too, which was nice! Great job! I laughed at your "Angry Birds" joke, too :)

Good going, Willem. A fun tune, and I find that just matching the words to the chorus at the correct pitch is a real challenge.
Anyway, for you, another one bites the dust !
