        I have been looking through the lessons for the August challenge and its proving to be a difficult one for me. Anyways I thought I would record one of my favourite songs from Mr Clapton.

        As always you guys are great and thanks for the feedback, good or bad.
        Cheers

                  Hi James,
                  You did a nice job on this tune. Try to get some more volume on your vocals. Also, Brian said you can use any Clapton song for the challenge. It doesn’t have to be an A/M lesson.

                  James

                      Hi James,

                      REally nice, but i agree with James, u got to push out that voice from your belly.
                      Your voice has a nice tone, got to push it.

                          Well done GreenParrot – I haven’t heard that song in a long time, and it deserves to be heard more often.
