Thanks for the kind advice.
I played the piece over and over at a much slower rate because that one of the only songs the Elvis did that I ever liked. He sang it slow and full of soul. When I did the first video that way I could hear far more of the same issues that i felt were in the one published. That being pauses in rhythm, unclear notes, and simply only having 2 months learning the instrument.
But I am jazzed to be doing this and getting better and more confident every day. Thanks again for the advice and I plan on working to organize my practice sessions better to help me move forward.
