@Alex...keep up the good work.  I dig what you have done with the tune already.  You don't do it just like I do, but that is the point...to make the songs a way to express what YOU...

@Alex...It sounds to me like you have got it.  Good rhythm and tempo.  The only thing that I would say to change would be to play the bass strings with a lighter touch.  Try...

Ok guys, you win! The way I was voicing it, the C7#9 didn't sound quite right to me, but when i play it on the lower four strings it sounds better to me. So thanks guys for...

Good job Ben. At exactly 17 seconds on the time code you should roll off of the 4 draw with a bend, slide to the 3 draw then come back to the 4 blow. You leave out the bend and...

@Corey....thanks....I need to study your version better...the intro I do, I think it's reversed to yours. It's a classic arpeggio from up to down, while what I like in yours is...

Mike, Gregg Allamn covered this recently...like in 2011...the intro is not uncommon (the minor chords make it rarer)
