Hi Al,
Well, as I mentioned to you already privately, I thought this was a really sweet version of this song. I liked the way you varied the high notes throughout the song to keep it from becoming monotonous. Also really liked the harmonics ending each verse!
One thing I would recommend giving a try is incoporating the hammer-on that Neil does in his lesson (but doesn't put in the tab). I think that instead of playing the open D as the penultimate note in the last measure, you hammer on a B on the open A. Hope that makes sense. That's what I do, anyway, and it sounds good to me! it's nice to throw that in, again, as variety.
Your voice sounds great in this song and I loved the harmonies you did with the 2nd track.
I started working on this song as soon as Neil posted it and I thought that since it was a level 1 song I'd have it down cold in an hour. But I found it MUCH trickier than I expected. Not sure if it's the rhythm or the picking pattern, but it took a while to get it sunk into my fingers. But it is REALLY fun to play.
