It went Blank and Black on me too Vanessa. For whatever reasons, I had a lot of trouble uploading this time. It looks like Wiilem added the youtube link. Hopefully that works! THANK YOU Willem!!

David
Thanks for watching. I agree on the drop down before the chorus, it adds a lot to the song!

Dermot,
I appreciate your kind words!

Daryl,
Thank you for taking the time to watch. I did the short version thinking Neil could see what he needs to for tips and sugestions. Then when I couldn't upload it to the student reviews I didn't have the patience to re-do. Normally I would play the Intro, Verse and chorus twice, then repeat the chorus one more time and outro.

fjeanmur,
Just like you, I put this one aside for awhile before I got back to it. There are a couple tricky parts that I had to focus on one measure at a time and go slowly until I started to get a little better at it. Also, Neil suggests in the lesson to play the second D chord in the chorus in a kind of C shape on the 5th fret. I can hit it clean about 50% of the time but I didn't want to do a bunch of takes hoping I would hit a good one. Invaribly when I do hit a good one I'll mess up somewhere else, so I just played a regular D chord :(

I get the serious face Craig! :laugh: :P

Recording is just... :S

I thought you did a great job anyway, very nice and relaxed playing, even if you didn't feel relaxed. ;)

Too bad that you couldn't get it through the review-uploader, but hopefully Neil will get to it in today's weekly recap.

Awesome to see you playing again my friend, many thanks for sharing it with us!

Edit: Thanks for the link Willem, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to watch it. :dry: :) There is something happening on the forum with those videos. I can't watch them in any thread and I know I'm not the only one... :(
