Well done Jim, never heard that Los Gatos song before. I thought you kept really good time with the right hand and when you use Dennis advice about griping the pick a little gentler, it will make that strumming even better.
Great trilogy of U2 Vanessa, love the way you sing those! But now the secret's out... all you need is 3 .. or 4 chords and you can kick Bono's ass
. Isn't it amazing how much fun can be had with a simple song structure and great singing! That video was all about performing so Shel just needs to watch that to answer her last thread.
Hey Craig, loved it! You could play that at any party and folks would join in. Nice control on the walk down notes (they are not so easy to fit it, I usually skip them but it sounds much better with). You didn't move out of your comfort zone though, you just expanded it. So we'll expect vocals with every post from now on, thanks!
PS: I was wondering if you needed some lighter strings on your guitar... only a suggestion, the high tones need to come through more.

Craig,
What a treat that was to wake up to! You did a great job with that song. I always find this song harder to play than it seems it should be (plus it hurts my pinky, holding down that high G the whole time!), but you did a really nice job. Great job on the bass walk-downs. And I thought your voice sounded really nice! There is no reason you shouldn't be singing more. I certainly hope this is just the first of many!

Craig, what the hell has come over you lately? First it was Classical Gas, and now this. Was the other Craig abducted by aliens and replaced by a professional musician? Has your wife been slipping some kind of anti-shyness medication into your morning macchiatto? Has living near the Taylor factory inspired you to greatness? Did you suddenly develop -- gasp! -- confidence?
Whatever it was, I'm glad to see it because you've got some real chops there. Keep it coming. Congratulations on another excellent video.

Hey Jim, you came in after a hard act to follow ... I would have sent a self destructing drone in rather than show up by my lonesome just after Vanessa's performance.
But I guess you're a real ninja, nothing scares you. Keep at it, you know what suits you
Craig, congratulations on your playing and (gasp!) vocalizing here ... come to think of it, that was actually singing !
What can be next ? A wide angle camera format ?
Good on you there, keeping the fun times going. I sure hope you will do more of this. B)
