Super stuff Mike. It’s not easy to sing and finger pick and you did a great job there. GL has a terrific back catalog of songs and that is one of my favourites. Well done.

I loved it, Mike. I love Gordon Lightfoot’s songs and you played and sang this beautifully. Loved your Finger style.

Hi @Katie_Ji ! Welcome to the community I really appreciate that you took time to comment on my efforts. I’m pretty new to the forum, it has taken me a while to get properly engaged with members on here but they are a really good bunch. You should definitely post on the Introduce Yourself topic, say a bit about your guitar journey. But most of all have fun and use the resources, I am only really scratching the surface here. You don’t really need to go anywhere else.
Cheers!
Hi @pkboo3
I really appreciate your kind words. I was just reading your “Road Cases”, it is great to read about someone’s journey like this. I hope you can give an update soon.
Thanks again
You sound like a professional who should be playing a show for a live audience. Very impressive work.

Aw man, nice job on this Lightfoot song. Takes me right back to being a kid in Michigan in the 1970s listening to Lightfoot, Bob Seger (my mom saw him at Cobo), Clapton, McCartney and Wings, many more. Nice job

Hi Jeff @SDKissFan definitely not a professional, just a bedroom guitarist who decided after a death in the family that life’s too short for “what ifs” Plus I retired last year and I am definitely practising more. I tried to play this live but I was too shaky to pull it off.
Cheers Kurt @TGFNM14 , yes this is such a good song I’m glad made the effort to get it to a level where I could play and sing along. Wish my old mum could have heard it.
Hi Mike
Great version, really smashing finger style.
Then you get the rhythm of the poetry spot on, so the lyric is leading and the guitar is accompanying.
Perfect.

Thanks so much @Eccleshall, this is great feedback. I do try to make an effort on the interpretation of the song as a whole. Thanks again!
Nice performance Michael, your vocal range suits this nicely and that was mighty fine picking. I don’t know the song so a completely fresh listen for me and I like

Hi Mike,
I loved what you said that life’s too short for what ifs. I feel the same way and battle through arthritis to play guitar. I did my first open mic with Justin guitar last week and wrote my first original song to post here. I think of it like creating something artistic to leave behind for the world that shows I was here. You definitely have talent even if it’s just a bedroom guitarist. I appreciate you sharing. Have a great day.
