Default Blackbird - basic fingerpicking

I have been attempting to improve my fingerpicking. This is very basic but represents solid progress for me over the last few months and despite a few errors and missed notes I like how it sounds. Hopefully I will come back here in a few more months and see further progress. Your comments and critiques are welcome.

Played on my 000-28 and recorded on the voice recorder on my phone.

I think that sounds great. You’ve got your timing down which is the most important thing. Well done!

sounds terrific and i agree, your timing is really good. I think a lot of people will always enjoy hearing this one - with vocals or just as you play it!

Well done, Coler. You kept the tempo steady and the song moving right along, which can be a challenge with this one.

I agree with all the others have said, a great job done here matey. And the recording quality - for being done on a phone - is exceptional. Well done. I look forward to hearing it again...
