Streets of London - Ralph McTell (Acoustic Guitar Cover)

New webcam, wanted to try it out, seems to work preeeety good :) Need to get used to the audio though, my voice overpowers the guitar just a little, I'll try sing a bit quieter next time haha

Great song, wanted to do it for a while so hear it is!

p.s. Apologies for the bird 'tweet' near the end, my girlfriend's pet cockateil (spelling?!) decided to join in!

Excellent, I'm new to guitar and I am having alot of trouble witht the fingerpicking :l

[mortykid1989]

@yuckyha1 Keep at it dude :) No one should expect to go straight into finger picking without any difficulty! Took me a while to get used to it and be able to play a song at normal speed. Just keep practising and you'll eventually pick up your own style and rhythm :)

great job dude!!! do u play it with thumb and indexfinger only???

[mortykid1989]

@YouFinsch I do indeed, I'm glad you noticed it ! :) It's a technique I've kinda taught myself. I can finger pick with all my fingers but I seem to be able to get a better rhythm playing with just my thumb and first finger (I do sometimes use my middle finger for the odd string though).

Thanks for the kind comments anyway :)
