Great win @Mrfredsporty ! Keep it going!

Well done @Lorraine ! The timing of your strumming and the lyrics you sang were in time and I am hearing an improved difference in your voice inflections as you sing the lyrics. If that was yelling, yell away! 😄. I also liked the way you performed the “stop children what’s that sound…” section – with emphasis! A great song and a great job! 😃

Thanks @the-old-coach . I appreciate your input and encouragement. It was a bit un-nerving at times. It took me from last Wednesday to this past Sunday to get something decent. I started out with a very slow BPM on the metronome (60) and worked from there.

I don’t have video of all of that but I do have video of all the takes I had to do in Sunday to get this passable one. It is a bit long and there may be some spicy words in there,, however happy to share if you and or others would find it helpful. 😃

Thank you @Mrfredsporty . I also have a tendency to get boxed into a position on the neck somewhere. The use of open strings with the scale that Tony taught us was very helpful to me to “play outside my the box” 🙃. The other thing I did was to come up with an idea of what and where I would play for each stanza of the backing track. Traversing the neck is exhilarating… and a bit scary! 😱

Thank you @Tim77 I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. I discovered the same thing you did – let the song breath a bit through some spacing of the improv around it. I also found it helped me to have an “anchor lick” with which I ended each series. Would love to see your improv sometime. It is amazing to see all the different ways we apply the learnings – and we learn from one another! 😀

Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement, @GerryB56 . They are greatly appreciated. John Prine is a favorite of mine as well. If you would like to hear Greg Brown I would suggest the album “If I Had Known: Essential Recordings 1980 to 1996 (Disc 1). I am unable to find a “Disc 2”, not sure why? 🙃
