Hey Jim! Great Job!

I like your lyrics and you are moving along on the 4+20 playing. I wish I could strum without a pick like that, it sounded great. Every time I try that, it ain't pretty... :silly:

Good Luck!

MJ

Thanks for the comments, here are the lyrics(basically, the story of my learning the guitar to date):

Four and twenty months ago, I took up the guitar
I paid for some workshops, but I didn’t get too far
I learned some songs and chords
But my playing wouldn’t win any awards
And I was paying more than I could afford

I quit the paid lessons when the great recession set
I went lookin’ for free music on the internet
So many bad sites, made me numb
I picked up bad habits, like this wayward thumb
Was the eternal beginner, played so dumb

Went to see Keola Beamer – he’s the slack key star
And I heard Neil Hogan touting Totally Guitar
I joined Target and now I have a plan
Learning songs and music theory from the man
Making this video in D5, cause I can

I love this song, and I loved your version. Hard to imagine this won't be a front runner.
