Good to hear the diversity of styles in all the videos above, makes for awesome listening!
And thank you to all who posted kind words about my video. Yeah, I tend to turn everything into dance tunes or other upbeat type of things, and the melody just seemed to fit right into that vibe. (I don't really know how to play any other types of music - I once tried and failed at classical fingerstyle guitar, did not seem to be my forte even though I really like that sound - so I sort of stick with what I'm comfortable with.) Also appreciate the info about the other threads for that particular tune (I re-posted my video there also, as Martin suggested).
David, you've done it again - you've taken a tune that I ordinarily don't understand, and you've turned it into an unexpectedly cool groove that's a trip to listen to. Hope to hear more of these types of styles. The animations are interesting too - must be a lot of work to make those, as I notice the animated arm pauses when the music pauses. Where's the cat though?

I agree! Interesting tune. I'm gonna have to try to learn that one someday. Thanks Martin for playing the tunes and for the sheet music.
Happy Holidays to all!
