Sounds fabulous. Are you using finger picks as well as a thumb pick or do you just have great nails!

Thank you @Moonhare I am using a thumb pick and picking with just my fingers. I am plucking or tapping the strings with my fingernails. It is a combination of a lot of guitar player that use these tech. except I use them all when I play. I also strum with my finger nails like Molly Tuttle does. 😊🧙♂️😎

Thank you. My approach to learning a song is to 1st find a recording of it and really listen to it. Break down the part and the dynamics it has. Just like a sound engineer would do. Then I get the chords, practice it over and over trying to mimic the accrual song the best I can as a solo instrument. 😊🧙♂️😎

Marty69, you did a great job on this. The picking was very solid and the feel of the song was right there!
