I rerecorded "Love Leads To Madness" because I couldn't stand listening to a flat chord I played; I think this is better. I tried varying my strumming patterns. I'm afraid my fingers didn't quite make it in time to play the C#m, but this is the best I could do.

Thank you Daryl. I need the encouragement. It's a traditional, Scottish folk song by a band called "Nazareth." Here is their version...

Nice job Mike!
Is that the same Nazareth that had a hit in the 1970's "Love Hurts"?
At any rate, I sure wish I could sing like you! I'm envious for sure.
As far as the change to the C#m, I would suggest just stay in time even if the chord is bad and eventually you will hit the chord cleanly with practice... as opposed to slowing down the time to hit hit clean. Neil has beat it (gently) into my head for the last 9 years that the timing doesn't change and the right hand keeps moving and the left hand will catch up with practice.
Great job! Keep up the good work!
Craig
