Thanks for your kind comments, I've put an updated version on with 100% my own backing, hope you enjoy.

Exceelent version.

I am watching this over and over :)

Your happiness reflects the song's mood of relaxed contemplation.

I am learning to play this, is it possible for you to share the drum backing track that you are using ?

thanks

[drgardner]

that version of the song came from a midi file on the internet and is probable still up there somewhere.

[varunjewalikar]

[drgardner]

Thanks for your kind comments. I have recorded a new version and will post up as soon as I can.

Hi Dave,

After picking up my guitar two years ago, after some 40 odd years, this was one of the first numbers I learned from your video. So thanks for helping me back.

Regards Brian

[pakvanjdam]

[JohnnyLadd]

Well done David - when are you going to put something up with your new guitar?

[drgardner]

Thanks again JohnnyLad, I am going to record again soon bypassing the small microphone on the video camera and recording direct to DVD to hopefully get better quality. I have been busy co-writing with someone from Sweden recently and it takes up some time.

All the best. drgardner

[mdjdecorations]

Very well played indeed. took me back to my youth, Mods and Rockers,Lambretas and Triumphs, oh happy days.

[Wolf4u2]

Excellent! I like your gentle feel for the piece & the way you strum up the neck to get a crisper sound.

[PaulDuggan]

Really nice video. Good to see someone who's enjoying themselves playing! Too many vids have people scowling or posturing.

[markbellinger]

Just Great!

[ThinkTesticles]

Fantastic stuff my man pleasure listening, how long have you been playing?

[drgardner]

Thanks for you comment, I have been playing since 1969 and Albatross was the tune that inspired me to learn the guitar. I still think I could improve on it. Perhaps when I am satisfied with my guitar playing it will be time to give it up.

All the best, Dave Gardner

[JohnnyLadd]

Nicely done you have a good touch and sound it's a shame that you have not had more viewers. I'm going to look for your other videos now Good luck.

[drgardner]
