Sounds fine, Liam.
I developed a version of this in A out of standard GDGBD tuning (normal key used for it in sessions around here in Manchester) because we commonly play sets of 3 tunes and the other 2 tunes may well not be in A (more likely D or G); I didn't want to lose several seconds whilst fitting my capo.

Good 'un Liam, well played. Tempo's good...no use being fast and 'messy' :)

Liam,
This is nice because it gives me an idea of a rhythm to shoot for - I've only ever played this at old time jams and that community has a bit of a different interpretation than the ITM community!

Lovely - even more melodic than the version I play.
