Well thank you. I'll post an update tonight...

I did a lot of lurking and trying many different tunes you teach. 
I learned a lot without posting much. Trying to get things "under control".

I also tried to "speak" the lyrics to get their timing correct. Singing is still a bridge too far as far as I'm concerned (wow - two times far in 1 sentence) :-)

Hello Corey,

Attached you'll find my progress in week two of this song.
I tried to maintain the same soft touch (with a dynamic note - mostly not on purpose - here and there). 
Also did I manage to "vamp" around this song. The timing on the part where I hit the singing theme again doesn't seem quiet right to me (around 0:40).

Big tnx in advance
Tom

Good work here.  Your light touch is where it is at.  I would suggest that you slow the tempo down just a little bit and dig in on the 'one' a little morre.  It sounds a little rushed as you play it here.  Thank you for posting and looking forward to another.

Hi Corey,

I believe the second take was better than the first one. I messed up the timing during the first take and decided to retry immediatly and post them both. I know you appreciate it when people have a light touch. I have difficulties with that. I tried to play as delicate as possible but I'm not sure this is what you mean with a light touch. Looking forward to your feedback.

Greetings and thanks for posting.  Yes the second take is the one for sure.  Your touch sounds nice and light here and the tempo is good.  Looking forward to hearing the rest!  Honor.

Hello mr Harris,

This is my first real lesson video. Allthough it seems simple I find it very difficult to stick to the main groove and not loose myself in fiddling around. Looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you

T.
