Dont see much to pull apart there at all 8-) Lovely sound you've got as well as some really clean playing.
Excellant ;)

Thanks for the positive replies. Couple of spots I might want to amend slightly but overall I'm fairly happy.
I'd previously heard various versions of this and hadn't really paid it much attention as most were played with virtually no echo/reverb and didn't create the soft, dreamy and rather pensive mood I felt it deserved, given its title.
Tried different pickups but the neck version sounded smoother to my ears and the added reverb mellowed the overall effect. It's not as the Shads played it but I tend to go for sounds based on their material rather than slavishly copying it - 'whatever floats yer boat', as they say . . . :P

Kind regards,
Martyn
