More from Gabriella and I in the basement. Thanks for watching. Didn't mean to put mic right in front of her face.

capo at 3rd fret, Bflat harmonica
For every 2 or 3 songs that she wants to do, I get to suggest one.

Thanks

Jimi and Gabriella

I like this song and your version of it.
This was the first song I learnt when I crossed the ocean.
It's not easy singing and playing.
I need to look at it again.

BRAVO!!! You two

I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching you two do these songs together. Just a blast to watch.

Miss Gabriella Very nice of you to let your dad pick a song now and then. Jim don't worry about the mic placement it's just fine. Sometimes it just works out that way when your doing the singing. Look forward to your next performance.

Hi Gabriella & Jim,

This is sounding good. Gabriella's vocals are strong, right out front, with good emotions. One thing I noticed is that it seems your embellishments (hammer-ons and bass walk-downs) appear to be a little rushed. This seems to be somewhat common, because I have seen a few others doing the same while learning it. I learned this song as a teenager about a jillion years ago, so I'm not sure if I did the same thing...... probably did.

It's good seeing you two posting these.

Well done! You sound great. I am working on this one, too. I have one suggestion: try a G major harmonica. I'm pretty sure that's what Neil used. (An E minor harmonica might also work.)
