This is my attempt at Englishman in New York by Sting.
Much inspired by @LievenDV version on an OM recording and also @Richard_close2u nephews at a live OM both great performances.
It’s been 6 years since I picked up a guitar for the 1st time and started learning with Justinguitar. Playing guitar is now something I very much look forward to doing everyday. Thanks for watching.

Excellent cover of a terrific song. You handled the tricky guitar rhythm really well and your singing was good too. If you played just a little slower it might help eliminate the odd vocal phrase that sounds slightly rushed. Very enjoyable.

Thanks Brian. I think the performance/recording anxiety contributed to the speed of delivery. Appreciate the feedback. Best wishes Alan

Good job Alan. The rythym is evocative of the original.

Nice job, Alan! I like your version. And I also always have a recording anxiety which messes with the speed. You’re not alone :grinning_face:

Thanks Oleg, much appreciated. Tempo, relaxing and savouring a performance are things I need work on instead of rushing. I’m not a confident or natural singer so that doesn’t help.
