Wow, that's so impressive. I'm off to get some singing lessons! Great lesson, thankyou.

Love Cat Stevens and this is definitely my favorite song he does. I'm having fun learning it and the biggest challenge for me so far is getting that Bm chord down so the transition is smooth and the chord is clean. Working on it!

Fantastic. Just emailed a friend to see if he wants to this as a duet for an upcoming show.

Great performance! I've been occasionally asking you in the comments but haven't seen an answer yet -- what Guild are you playing in all of these videos? Looks like an F-30 body type but I've never seen those inlays or that particular pickguard.

Hey Apologies Ryan, it's challenging to keep up with all the comments. That's a Guild GAD-30r. It's discontinued now that the company has changed hands to Cordoba, but you can often find them on Reverb.com and in very good shape.

Thanks Donald, I really love to see that performance, set a camera out if possible!

Thanks Ian, glad you enjoyed the vid. Let me know how those singing lessons are going and if they give you any ideas on lessons I can add to the channel. Be well. -Rob
