Here's my attempt at something a little different -  Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven".  I'm sorry I  look so unhappy in the video, but it's just that I'm concentrating so much!   There's a lot of room for improvement, but I will get there!   Apologies for the poor quality sound - you might want to turn your speakers down (or turn them off - I wouldn't blame you)!!

That was really nice! Now do everyone a favor (or just me) and add it to the tab archives! ;)

Excellent phrasing, tone and articulation. Your intention shines through the music. Your original style has strength and gentleness.

I love this song, and I love your rendition.

HOORAY Debs!

Debs is that your own arrangement? Do you play guitar by any chance? I think you did a fantastic job - well done!

I too find that the problem with videos is you have to worry about the visuals too - I fret about whether I am smiling enough or if people notice that I'm still wearing the same T-Shirt...

That was really nice. I liked the tempo and your timing's great.

Hi Debs, you got it; a rich full sound played with feeling. I can tell you've been doing your studying and can hear the Jens and Bela influences.

Ps Boston was cold. I'll pm you later.

Pretty, poignant, skillfully played, Debs!

I like it very well played

Thank you all so much for your kind comments - I'm glad you liked it!

Laurence, no it's not my arrangement (I don't have the skills to arrange anything like this just yet), and I don't play the guitar (I have enough trouble with the banjo!).  And now you've given me something else to worry about - I never thought about wearing the same clothes each time I make a video!!

Thanks again everyone.
