Very nice job on this one with economy of finger hand movements.

That's mighty sweet, Mike. Great tone you're getting there, and great control.

What a beautiful song - it has that haunting sound and "drive" that is so nice about those songs. And you play it fantastic!

I always wished to play these kinds of things, but don't have the ability - but it is just as nice to listen and watch when someone as good as you plays them. What a nice sound and feeling, it takes you to a whole other place.

Thanks Shawlie,
I am really encouraged that you picked up the atmosphere of the tune. When you play something over and over again to learn it, its difficult to tell whether it still has the feeling that made you want to learn it in the first place!
Mike
