What a great, humble performance my friend!!,.. Is that just a regular thumbpick you use or something i dont know about?

@maddog7101. Thank you. I love this song, but it's not my favorite GL tune. Yes, that is a regular thumbpick. It's a Fred Kelly Slick Pick. I thinks it's either a heavy or medium. You can find them online. A local guitar shop used to carry them before it went out of business...bummer!

Hi, I just found your cover of this beautifully written song. I enjoyed your honest performance. The guitar playing and timing is spot on. I agree with jdriftking's comment - I can tell you have a good voice, and you should let go and sing with more confidence

@skylark51 Thank you. I think you and jdriftking my be right. I tend to hold back and not let my voice go. I do not have a lot of range in my voice, and don't really push it. I have so much more confidence in my guitar playing, so that's what I concentrate more on. I shall take your advice and go for it.

Thanks,

George

Simple is best mate. Very nicely played and an excellent attempt to sing this song. Better than I could have done. Keep it up matey

[pickerman4]

Thank you so much! Yes, I was a bit nervous. I also consider myself a much better guitarist than singer, so any suggestion to improve my singing is greatly appreciated.

Very good cover. My only critisism would be that you seem to be holding back in your voice. Dont be nervous my friend, you have a great talent. Great guitaring, great to watch. Very well done to you. :)
