Chris - Yep! Chocolate is definitely in order when singing and listening to Nick Drake. I really enjoy two of his three albums but it is depressing stuff mostly. I've been finding myself gravitating toward nylon strings. I'm still looking for a hybrid too. Thanks for watching.
Jay - thanks! I need to return to a few Nick Drake lessons too. But, I'm mostly attracted to the fingerpicking ones. I think a video a month is a great goal. Go for it! I've just posted another video making three in five days, so I may just manage it.


Daryl - I'm glad you liked it. I'm looking forward to seeing your first upload for 2015. Don't forget that Neil is planning to look at non-target member posts too. I'm sensing..... TE.


Marc - thanks! I'm holidaying at home this year. It's great to have the time to play and record. I know that will significantly reduce once I start working again. I hope you're doing well and playing up a storm.
Dean - thanks! I started this song a year ago. I've played it a fair bit since then. Getting it up to speed has been the biggest challenge. It's still a tad slow as you know. Are you still playing it? I put up Fruit Tree as a lesson recommendation if you're interested in supporting that. It may be a bridge too far for me, but it's a song that really draws me in too.
Sandy - I'm glad you liked it. It is an interesting song, very moody. IMovie allows you to place a picture in picture. It's great for tracks like this when you want to play the guitar and then sing over the top of the track. It means you can concentrate on your playing without getting distracted by words and phrasing and a million singing related things. It's also good for songs where the singing is challenging. I may record That Year by Brandi Carlile. She sings so passionately that I wouldn't be able to come close to doing the singing justice if I played at the same time. Give it a go.
Jean - thanks. Definitely give this song a try. I play it a fair bit without singing it and I never get bored of it as an instrumental because there is so much happening in it. In fact, besides singing in the shower, I really only started singing it when I tryed to record it. If you're not singing it, you can really play around with variations. That would be great fun. Go for it!
Bob - thanks and you're welcome. Got any projects on the boil?
Willem - thanks for checking it out. Are you playing this now? Yeh I would love it be a free form fingerpicker. I'll keep pickin'. You'll be happy to know that I obeyed you'rinstructions and kept sweating today too. Though a storm is coming through so it's cooling down nicely now. Thanks.
Thanks for all your support everyone.
