Hi,
I'm new to this forum and have never posted to a forum before, so just let me know if anything I'm doing is uncool.
Nice to see such an active group and good topics - really well organized!
I just opened a YouTube account and read where it's a good idea to post your YouTube recording to a related forum.
My cover of This Year's Girl is hopefully attached here:

Nice performance, Al. Have you tried putting more bite into the angry lines? I think the song works on contrast - the raw angry side and the tender romantic side - to show the angst, how torn up and in love Elvis is with the girl, and his youthful angst. Good luck.

Wow, great feedback! I can't help but feel the emotion in this song, but it took this comment to get me to feel where this emotion is coming from.
The performance really would benefit from more bite and dynamics, thanks for pointing it out. Wish I had the growl to pull off what we both hear, but going forward when I play it, I'll definitely pull back on the smooth and add contrast.
Thank You!
