Thanks for tuning in Shel, Bart and Marc, thanks for the kind comments.

Yeah Shel, finally using a pic on all strumming songs these days, a much better sound. Still trying to master holding it as Neil teaches with just the index finger bent at first joint but often have to revert to support from middle finger.

This is my recording corner Bart and it works well for videos but as soon as I turn the camera on and have to sit up to the guitar and vocal mics, I am not very relaxed as it feels so hemmed in but I find recording every now and then helps to improve performance and all the things you have to deal with along with getting the hands and voice right!

Hi Marc, what are you working on? The passage you mention on D is the last bit I worked out, may not be entirely right but if sounds passable, I'm happy! What I could improve on was the up strokes, the syncopation on the right hand, I could "hear" it better (how it should be) in my head after watching the upload. Also my left hand had time to relax a little, in the recording my fingers were tired and a bit dull. Maybe if I learn the solo parts I will record again to show.

Chris,
Although I'm not a big fan of America, I really enjoyed your performance. Great job on the rhythm and focused picking. Your Sony camera gives you a great, clean sound. Thanks for busking.

Many thanks for listening and commenting Scott, Bill and Buddy. It sure does make a difference having a corner where everything is set up and you can just flip a switch and record what you are working on at the mo and you know that the sound and picture is good.
