Thanks a lot Rick, I appreciate that.

Thanks Liam - I will definitely work on my timing. Loved your clip - you knew what you were doing but you sure surprised your guitar player!

Wow! John that sounds really fabulous! Love all the textures and the feeling. Great job, thanks for posting. Isolation has been tough, I've only played in the company of my computer for 2 years now...

@Liam Ward thanks for pointing me towards focusing on relaxation and breath control. I ended up thinking I should play with dynamics too, especially in slow songs like the ones in this lesson. Onward!

@Jim greenway that sounds like good advice - it’s true the lower-pitched harps sound less tinny than the C. Thanks.

OK got it. Couldn't open it on my phone but OK on the desktop. Sounds like you've got the idea, and the timing. Love that song! Just a little more practice and it'll be really good.

Kind of late with this - but I just re-listened and have to say, great job! Didn't know JJ Milteau so looked up some of his videos and now I'm a fan, too. Really good stuff.

Couldn’t open your post, Rick. Maybe it didn’t upload properly. Happy New Year!

Thanks Liam for your comments. I feel like this came out in a pretty awkward way. I was trying to imitate something I heard on youtube, that was clearly over my head. But I’m hoping the more I practice, the better my sense of timing will become. Here’s to better times ahead in 2022 !

thanks a lot Liam. I will keep practicing this, it’s fun to play. I listened to Mark Graham’s version on YouTube. Wow! He puts it in double-time. Amazing.

thanks Tony

A whole lotta soul in that performance, Tony. Really nice to listen to, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Liam for your feedback. The slower backing tracks make it a little easier to practice, so thanks for the reference. Actually I like to use tongue-blocking for slaps - it just seems more natural - but I can't do bends tongue-blocked so in this song I couldn't manage it except for the 3 notes at the end. I think it's gonna take a very long time to be able to master TB bends so I just sort of try to work around that limitation, I know it sounds messy but that's where I am. Thanks again!

your tone is nice & full, Rick. Sounds great!
