All along the watchtower - Verse 2

Today, my aim was to learn the second verse and the second chorus/lead solo - the verse isn't too bad in the sense that I'm already familiar and comfortable with the chord changes and shapes, but the strings are individually plucked for two beats then an upstrum on the third, then a one beat rest; this wasn't too hard, just took me a while to get used to and memorise - so I just practiced it slowly bit  by bit until I was confident and comfortable with playing it. I think I played this well n the end, my chord transitions are still smooth, and the plucking was smooth and consistent throughout, however I do need to work on my chord shapes because sometimes I get a muffles sound from the upstrum because I'm pushing down on the fret board hard enough. .
