This album was the first obsessed album I bought as a middle-school kid and this was the acoustic song I always thought it would be cool to play.

I'm at work now but can't wait to get home and try this out!

Nice job! You know, it's funny: Tom Scholz and that first album were probably two of the strongest reasons I became a recording engineer/producer but I never learned this particular song. It's darned easy, too.
