rsl12 Thanks! 🙂 Actually I struggled with the syncopated notes and I did something I've never done before - I used a metronome during practice to help develop a steady rhythm. The song sounds deceptively simple - like many great pop songs, so I didn't realise what a challenge it would be until it was too late. That'll teach me not to assume in future! 🙃
WieWaldi Thanks for the detailed feedback, which sums things up nicely. Indeed, the "five beat note" was tricky to get under my fingers but the much hated metronome proved useful to help me to get the rhythm right.
The bracelet is a recent addition to my jewellery collection. I bought it on impulse, when it caught my eye in the shop and I immediately thought of your Bavarian blue (and white) bracelet, which seemed to improve your playing no end! I thought it might do the same for me! 🙃 Also, apparently that particular stone is believed to bring patience to the wearer and I needed all I could get with this piece! 😄
