PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

Yet another nice job. You have a soothing voice.

Now I'm certainly not an exert but to me there seemed to be some "pauses" in your strumming or somehow the timing seemed "off" in places. You might consider uploading this video to the "student review" channel and hope that either Neil or Nessa will give you some pointers. Or maybe my tin ears are totally wrong.

You sound like my old piano teacher :-) She was always telling me "count aloud". Kind of hard to do while singing :-). The pauses you refer to are more my attempt at syncopation. Like Neil Young, I tend to get off beat once in a while. Anyway, this is my interpretation of the song. Thanks for your input and advice.

Nice work Bil again, I am really enjoying your singing, very easy going style you have there and a great voice for these songs not to mention how well you play with the percussive sound and hand damping.

Thanks DrFuji, Chris and Willem. I am working on Old Man, but don't have it quite the way I like just yet. Maybe the next will be Don't Let It Bring You Down.
