That was excellent Claudia, I really enjoyed it!
Yes you can definitely save some money by learning to change you strings and it will give you the freedom to pick a preferred brand or investigate others.
Keep them coming, looking forward to the next one!

I will definitely look at Justin’s tutorial for next time. Thanks all.
That was wonderful Claudia and the fluff, well I only noticed it because you shook your head. We are soooo critical of ourselves.

Wow Claudia that took me all the way back to listening to the Smiths in my bedroom on headphones endlessly as a “lad.” Your playing seems flawless - the energy is calm but constant, like a pulsing stream. Beautifully sung as well. Will have to add this one to my bucket list.

I have covid, so my voice isn’t the best. But a good time to play some guitar. Just learnt this, thanks to Justin. Always been a favourite of mine. Slightly adapted his fingerstyle after seeing Sean Lennon play it like this on Instagram as a birthday tribute to Paul McCartney. Here’s my vastly less accomplished version.

You have a style of your own Claudia and you sell a song convincingly. Well wishes in your return to vibrant good health.

That was really great Claudia. Lovely vocal and some super fingerstyle too. Well done. One of my favourite Beatles songs.

Wow, I really loved that.
Your guitar work was fantastic. Loved your finger style. Great Barr chord transitions and for someone with the big C your voice was great.
All over a wonderful song sung and played wonderfully.
Cheers

I always love to see a Beatles song. You have a great style. I enjoyed that very much!
Wish you a speedy, full recovery, Claudia.
Lovely performance, both playing and singing.
A small minor thing, it would be good if you could tilt the camera down a little to crop off the ceiling, rather than the bottom of the guitar. I love to watch the fingers of the right hand dance their dance, especially when playing fingerstyle.
Thanks for sharing, always a treat.
Hi Claudia,
All sounds good on this end. Maybe I need to get the big bad bug to help my singing! You did well, especially when that is factored in!
Keep up the good vibe and take good care,

Yes, I realised David that I’d got the angle wrong. Will correct for the next one.
Not a biggie and ‘wrong’ is too strong, could just be better 
I look forward to your next.
Have you considered joining a Community Open Mic? I’m not following the sign-up posts in the Call For Interest.
Sounds scary
I can’t lie, the first time is a little (or lot) scary, Claudia. I can only say having listened to you play and sing in a number of recordings shared, that you have more than enough ability. So quite ready to join in and overcome the nerves.

I’ll take a look at the forum, David, and see….
Claudia, here’s the Call For Interest topic: Open Mic 010 - Call For Interest and a link to the recording of the last event: Open Mic 09: Recording + After-Show Chat
Well listened to that then had to go back and check the intro !! Nothing wrong with the vox whatsoever and the fingerstyle arrangement worked very well. The only problem I had was volume and I had to nearly max the PC speakers to hear the recording. Not something anyone else picked up on and didn’t detract from the performance at all. As David said your track record suggest an Open Mic would be a good opportunity for you. Let me know even if its a theatre seat first time for vibe evaluation !
