  Nobody Knows you when you're down and out - Video

Haven't posted for a while, so thought I'd best keep you all amused

My 'loose' attempt at 'Nobody Knows you when you're down and out'.....made famous by EC.

As usual, hacked through the vocals. Can sing it better, but this is the best it got for the vid.

Be prepared to be amazed..........not.

Sleepy.

Great job sleepy! It's always great to see videos of this style to help learn the songs and the timing. Singing was fine too.

I noticed when you put on your capo you left a little room for your fingers. I was told to put the capo right up against the fret wire and I always find I run out of real estate, so I think I'll follow your trick and leave some finger twanging room!

Thanks everyone. There is so much talent on here, it's real nice to be a part of it.

Canuck, yeah I'm fairly flexible with the capo and tend to experiment how far I can get it away from the fret wire as long as I don't compensate the sound I want.

That's the fun of the guitar. You can do what you want - nothing is set in stone.

Thanks one n' all.

Sleepy.

Very well done. I think your vocals were fine. Maybe better mic placement would have helped but overall a great version of this classic song. Your was
