Thanks for the tag James @Socio was already on the case when I saw the post.

Thought you did pretty well on this laid back version but I suspect you will pushing the tempo up to the originals pace in time. Like you I’ve tried it with a pick and never got up to pace and could not sing it at the same time. Recorded this about a year ago here but strangely enough I added it to my songs to play fingerstyle recently now I have rekindled that adventure.
Only advice I’d offer, as mentioned already, is the thumb but it did work for this. Cheered my morning up no end hearing one of my all time favourite LS songs. Thank you for sharing.
