Vanessa,
Rhythm, timing, tone, slides, and occasional rakes, all amazing. I would offer only one suggestion, and it comes after watching Muriel's lessons and that is to adjust the volume of some of the melody periodically. I think Arlo Gutherie put some emphasis on the first beat of each measure often preceeded by equal emphasis on the & of the 4th forth beat. I ways think of this melody as kind of "jagged" with swells up and down rather than flowing evenly in terms of volume.
But who am I to say, I haven't even posted yet and I am giving advice to a guitar goddess.
Thank you for the post.
Matt
ps: I am working on my camera and microphone set up ,honest, and can't wait to post and get feedback.
