Default The Way You Look Tonight (acoustic version)

Learning this in guitar lessons and performing it for my Recital Lab class. Haven't done these jazzy type chords before, so it's fun to be learning




************EDIT**********
I wasn't happy with my vocals on the first video, and I forgot my introduction which is required for the class. Here's the updated (better) version



Also, for those who care, I removed the capo and tuner from the headstock so the nice Gibson script logo can be seen.

lol, thanks so much. Looking back and especially right after listening to Sinatra's version, i've realized i need to slow it down a little and try to swing it a little more. Maybe more emphasis on the off beats?

Really enjoyed it, but you REALLY enjoyed it. The chords all seemed to fit beautifully. Nice tone in your voice.

well, I forgot to put an introduction on the beginning and I just wasn't feeling it vocal wise.
I just re-recorded it and am much happier with it. I did get off on my strumming in a couple places, but we're gonna go with it, especially since the first time it sounded like I did it on purpose
