Sweet Virginia - The Rolling Stones

Gordon, I missed your performance in the first round. But, better late than never! That was gorgeous! Beautifully played and sung, a pleasure to listen to. A lot to learn from. I admire, how you played the chord links, or is it called “linking lines”, really really impressive.
Congrats on your progress on video editing also. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the listen and support Andrea. Yes it’s the fills between the chords that make this song what it is. It took a bit of work to get them and the vocal working together as they don’t flow as easily as the chords.
As for the video editing, I’m happy to have achieved what I did, simply tidying things up and adding some straightforward effects.

That was excellent Gordon. Not much more I could say that hasn’t been commented on above, but I will anyway. :wink: Those fills were fantastic, and worth a blister or two I suppose.

Hi Gordon,
Enjoyed your performance immensely. Great playing with embellishments, must be quite tricky, I can only imagine and to sing at the same time. :clap: :clap: :clap: Lovely tone to your voice, too.
Best wishes,
Alan

Hey guys. Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and comment, much appreciated. Yes the fills took a bit of time to learn and then singing at the same time proved more difficult than I had anticipated.
Justin has a good lesson on the song here.
