Very Cool post, Shane!
Lovely, laid-back rendition of a relaxing song!! You nailed the vibe & overall feel… I think your bends were very good & enjoyed your singing also! Good tone from your setup, you are channeling Mr. Green beautifully!
Congrats on a well-done AVOYP, Shane!
This was your big mistake… BIG… You raise ‘em, love em’, teach em’ - but once they’re out… they’re OUT!!! 
My wife & I never “pushed” any of our three kids out, it was entirely their decision. We did make it clear however that once they moved, their former rooms were going to be re-purposed & so no longer available for them to attempt to reclaim!!! 
Keep on with your music… you are really coming so far in your guitar 
journey!

That was a treat to my ears, Shane! 
What a beautiful song (with such a sad story behind). You caught the mood of it so well and sung and played with a lot of feeling, you really captured the essence of this piece. Guitar tone was also perfectly chosen. Lots to like and well beyond my playgrade to offer any substantial feedback.
A most enjoyable listen - good to hear you sing again by the way! - thanks for sharing!

Well done Shane, that’s one of my favourite early FM songs. Clearly a load of work has gone into that one. Great stuff.

Thanks to all for having a listen to Man Of The World; and the kind words.
Jumping At Shadows - Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac
Recently been working on this (yet another) great song by Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac.
This is the intro only. Its a sort of " double-intro/instrumental". The first part is played by Peter, the second part by Danny Kirwan.
Although not the whole song yet, I thought it OK to put in my AVOYP rather than my learning log, as its a sort of self contained piece in a way, and I’ve got it to a level where its sounding OK.
The actual main part of the song is very simple, but there’s a great main solo to learn that’s gonna take a little while. Thought I’d put this up now, in case the Reaper comes for me in the meantime .
This piece can be a bit emotional to play to be honest. And from a learning perspective, it’s very much about the phrasing and the dynamics, so lots of value there.
I’d encourage everyone to listen to the original Live in Boston 1970 performance. Just absolute magic.
Surprisingly, this great song, while played live often by the early Fleetwood Mac, was never released on any of their Fleetwood Mac albums. I believe they did a studio recording around 1970, and it remained shelved for the next 15 years, until released on a Fleetwood Mac compilation album in 1985.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Any tips , feedback etc always welcome.
Cheers, Shane

The man of the world was absolute beauty, man I only know best hits from Fleetwood Mac so thanks for sharing! Lovely piece of guitar playing you had going in there, and your voice was perfect and on pitch, dont hide it away again for that long!
Jumping at shadows intro - a very good start! No suggestions from my end, sounded really good.

“Jumping At Shadows” well done @sclay , on my WIP list too. You nailed that Boston intro note perfect. I didn’t know they did a proper studio recording; I have a version recorded at the BBC. I’m working on a different live version with a shorter intro though. Let’s see how they compare. Is “The Stumble” on the back burner now?
Thanks for the listen Rory. No The Stumble is still there. Have the main 2 choruses down OK, but needs at least a couple more.
Cant get it yet to the original 134 bpm 16ths over the whole piece; that is quite pacy in parts. Have it around 120, which it still sounds pretty good at, so might leave it there.
I should probably do the full Need Your Love So Bad next. I’ve had it down for a fair while but have yet to record it.
Sometimes, I’ll hear a tune ( from whatever genre) and I’ll just have to learn it); so a bit a zigging and zagging going on at times.
Stay tuned. 
Cheers,Shane
It is great! A lot of technical details there which are subtle, but very effective. You did them effortlessly, it looks like you are not even thinking about playing, but fully enjoying. Really well done Shane!
Thanks for the kind words Boris. Yep, some stuff is starting to come together OK, other things need some more focused work. All fun though
Cheers, Shane

I did the full version of that. The single version fades out during the last solo. I have another BBC recording where he doesn’t play a solo at all! Green would have played it differently every time.
Yep, I caught that one, and a good job you did on it too.
Yes, my favourite version is definitely the originally released single in 1968, with the fade out.
Cheers, Shane
Really well done Shane.
I admit doing a double take when you started singing - you have a wonderful voice.
And emotion really comes through in your playing.
Harmonics are very nicely done…just fantastic.
Wow, these are two terrific performances Shane (yes, I only just saw your MOTW too - haven’t looked at AVOYP much since BLIM started).
Lovely singing and superb emotional playing mate - really look forward to the full Jumping at Shadows - I know there’s only so many hours in a day though!)
