          Great rendition.
          Thats the way to go, when you a bump, just laugh about it.
          Well done.
          I see Django on your wall, nice.

            Nice one, Patrick. That last chord is a finger twister but you persevered and hit it. Happy Holidays!

              That‘s the right attitude, Patrick. Have fun also with the little accidents. We all are learning together. And you have already learned so much. Because this sounds great. And your playing shows great feel. That‘s music.

              Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
              The next Meetup is expected to take place in November 2025

              There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

              I look forward to meet you.

                Great to hear this one played on nylon strings Patrick. A catchy arrangement and well played. Yes, enjoyed the smile and laugh at the end. We’ve all been there and done that for sure. Merry Christmas and all the best! 🎅🎄🎸🎄🎅

                  Patrick, that was played in a really atmospheric way on the concert guitar. You take it with humor; anyway, i like it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

                  Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                      Well done Patrick – that’s quite a complicated arrangement but you got there. Played well and sounded nice. Have a Happy Christmas.

                            Hi Patrick
                            Happy to hear your very precise execution of this beautiful song, equally I liked your nice laugh at the end of the piece.
                            Merry Christmas.

                              Patrick, your video is one of my favorites this month. You played it well (and it is definately a challenging one) and you had fun. Playing the guitar is a lot easier when you can laugh at yourself. Good for you man….you make me feel normal:) Merry Christmas! Pap

                                Bravo, Patrick! I was rooting for you to make that last chord, and you did! I’m sure a lot of practice went into this song and it paid off. Smoothly played and good groove.

                                  You make such a fine melody-and the nylon really brings your performance Alive! Well done.

                                    That’s great, Patrick! Perfect choice of a song to learn for Christmas 😉 Your reaction to a flub is much better than mine and it made me smile so that’s awesome! I like your acoustic version of this tune, keep it up and Merry Christmas!

                                            Very nice touch on the nylon strings Patrick. You gotta have fun with that as it sounds so good. And you look like you’re having a blast! Merry Christmas, Tom

                                              Very much into the festive spirit Patrick, you took on a handful of chords to achieve that classic. Loved the humour, we could all learn from that.

                                                That was brilliant, Patrick! Very blues-y and atmospheric rendition… very well played! And the cool playing, supplemented by the happy laughtrr at the end… tres bien! 😎🎸

                                                I love the Django calendar!
