Thanks Turtle, Jim and Uncle John. It's weird how the simplest, most unexpected idea comes out of nowhere and grows from nothing. I really "wung" this one and was ad-libbing as I went along, hence some of the points of hesitation. Now I just have to go back and relearn the parts I really like, LOL.

Wow, that is a pretty song and good playing.  No need for apologies.   On perfection, I was reading yesterday that guitar and country great, Buck Owens, did not like to record with studio musicians because their technical excellence lacked a spontaneous feeling.

Very nicely done Smitty! It's all coming together for pretty quickly.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back and learn the drums or play percussion in the middle school band to get that built in rhythm and timing and go from there. It's hard to teach and it's also hard to learn. For a guitar player like me anyway.

Thanks! Ex-drummer....stopped playing 25 years ago. After 25 years, it occurred to me how much I missed playing music, but an old injury was never going to allow me to play drums like I use to (I was a hard rock drummer). I love playing this instrument so much...it's like a gift from heaven!

Sounding real good there Snuffy.  Impressive for 3 only three months in.  I remember you saying you are a drummer right?  I think it shows up in your picking hand in a big way.  Keep it up dude.
