Videos: Close To You

The first video shows me playing the first two lines of "Close To You". I didn't refer to the booklet to find the notes, and I just looked for them myself. It was a relatively easy song to play, but "Don't Know Why" was quite easier. The notes were far apart from each other, which is why I slipped a couple of times in my attempt to play it. I know I have to improve on it, because I'm still sloppy, but I guess it's a good start. I already found several good spots to improvise too.

The second video shows me playing the bridge of "Close To You". Although this part is hard to sing, due to its monotone nature, this makes it quite easy to play on the guitar. Notice how I make less mistakes on this video, and was able to improvise towards the end. I got this section of the song covered, but I guess I need to work on my articulation as some notes are still muted when I play. Its not too difficult though, as I've said before.
