Nutty, I think all the right praise and encouragement has already been given so I will simply agree with them as you progress is noticeable.

One suggestion from watching your video: try placing the microphone so that when you are looking down towards your guitar you are singing into it. Okay, not that low but try half way between where it is and where it could be so that your head is swinging to either side of the mic, not up to it and then down, away from it. I think you will get a more consistent vocal level although you will start finding the vocal mic picks up a little of the acoustic guitar sound, which may or may not be a bad thing. Try it and see.

Thank you @Fretless for your kind words. Yes you are right, I will move the microphone down half way between, it will make the vocals more consistent. Thank you for your advice.

Is this still going? I was looking forward to March's theme to set a challenge for myself and learn a song for it.

UncleHammy hasn't visited the site in 3 weeks, let's hope he is doing well.

Here's my suggestion: I vote for @Nutty 1 to select the new theme and I would be happy to create the new thread and copy the recordings in the first post as they are added, until UncleHammy comes back.

I agree, @guitarben. I also got a bit concerned about @UncleHammy not being around for so long.

So let's continue his initiative till he is back.

Wim.

Thank you @guitarben and @Wim VD1 

How about "If I could turn back time" anything that is to do with the past or time.
