I may see if I can make some progress on it.

Haven't gone real far on it - opening measures and a couple measures from the middle. It will defintely be a long project for me (although I'm hoping as I get used to different sections I will be able to learn other sections easier) - also, my practice time will increase more and more as motorcycle riding season winds down....the conflict of two passions. I do have the song on my Guitar Trainer, so I can play back difficult passages at real slow speed in tune - so I have all the technology (although I will look at the video playback you mentioned also).

The song is my wife's absolute favorite - she doesn't know I've been working on it - would like to surprise her with it one day. We'll see...thanks for the comments.
