Hey Neil, I was wondering if you could cover two favorite songs of mine. Tangerine by Led Zeppelin and Pigs on the Wing by Pink Floyd. They have some versions on You Tube but nobody covers songs the way you do. Matt has said there is certain things you look for in a song before you take on the task of putting it on video. So with that in mind let me plead my case. First Tangerine is a great song and there is the same fingering part on the D chord that is done in Lucky Man. When I saw that I was more motivated than ever. It was like putting a piece of the puzzle together. I feel that is something that TG members could get alot out of. Pigs on the Wing would be great for a campfire song, even Dave the Guitar Guy on You Tube thought so too. With that said i hope you consider it. Matt said there might be time at the last TG live to take requests but there was'nt. Keep up the god wor:) :) :) k I really enjoy the site.

I almost did Tangerine as part of the TARGET Original 50, so it may get back on the list soon. Pigs On The Wing is a great tune for counting carefully, as there are odd measures in it as I recall.

Both good suggestions.

Neil
