Hi Willem, Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Good job with the thumbpick and with the finger brushing and strumming. The bass came through loud and clear but not overly loud. Well balanced.

Good work Willem, like Daryl said, it sounded really balanced, very good!

Maybe alternate bassnotes? Don't get me wrong, this sounded very nice already, but it could be a nice addition.

Note: Be carefull with that Bm, your index is sometimes a little ón the fret instead of befóre the fret.

Good job Willem and hope you're feeling better soon! :)

Hi Willen,
that sounded really nice. You have it well under your fingers. You are ready now. B)

I agree about the alternate bass notes it would add variety and interest, but it is also great as is, well done! :)

I hope your cold gets better soon.

Hi Tom,,thanks for the feedback,,,on this moment I practiced the alternate bass notes and I get used to it with the pick and how it sounds,,don't know for the performence cos I record the whole thing for a few singers they can practice with,,we see maybe I produce an other track and what they like most..

Hey Willem,

That was cooool. You've really got that thumb pick working for you. It almost had a muted quality to it which I really liked, muted without being soft.

You pace was very steady too. It'll be great at the get together if you use it.

Nice one.

Willem,

It looks (and sounds) like you have a lot of control over that thumb pick, which is more than I can say about my own attempts to use it. Good job. And I agree with Ness that I'd like to see you alternate bass strings a bit more. It would add some variety to the song.
