Man, I like your version better than the original (well maybe a different type of like, because I really do love the original too). Definitely love this picked and the piano notes. You have a beautiful voice for this song.

I’m behind times – haven’t been on the forums much, so my apologies @Michelle-PSL . New song for me too. Very nicely played and sung.

[Loraine]

Thank you for taking a listen and all the lovely comments.

Just a beautifully played and sung song @KevinZ

Love this song – Fantastic performance and vocals @david_m_dm. The timing and strumming in the ‘brother’ section does look challenging, but you nailed it. I can’t believe you did this in one take. I’m envious.

In a perfect week

1. How many times will you play? In a perfect week, I’ll play daily (7xweek)

2. When will you play? I do my daily lessons every weekday at 11:30 a.m. I typically practice scales, finger exercises while sitting on my couch in the evenings (during commercials on t.v.). I practice a fingerpicking or flatpicking song that I’m working on around 12:00 p.m. every weekday, and several times throughout the day when I pick up the guitar for 10-15 minute stretches. I’m also working on a few songs, and I’ll practice them right after practice during the lunch hour and throughout the day/evening during 10-15 minute stretches. I spend more time on these songs on the weekends.

3. Where will you play? I always practice on my lunch hour during the week in my bedroom (that’s where my laptop typically is). I practice during the 10-15 minute breaks typically in my livingroom. I’m in the process of converting a space in an upstairs vacant bedroom to a music room, but I have guitars in several rooms of the house and I can reach for one wherever I am.

Thanks for listening and the shout out @markvguitar

Really appreciate your comments, and yes I tend to get to a point I just need to keep moving forward, but I never give up on the pieces. I use them as practice moving forward.

[Loraine]

Thank you for saying so. I’ve really been putting a lot of effort in lately, and I’m glad it’s showing.

[Loraine]

Thanks @Dan D# – Had fun with it, but it did take a while to play it fairly smoothly.

[Loraine]

Appreciate it @bugmeist

[Loraine]

Haha – Thanks @Bill_Brown

[Loraine]

Really appreciate your listening and thank you for the kind words @Mike56

Hi @bill_brown Yes, I didn’t realize I was plugged in until after I taped. Therefore, you get a little reverb. I went with the video, because there were few mistakes. I want to move onto the next fingerpicking song, so I decided to post this one now and move forward. I can do it faster, but I tend to make more mistakes then.
