The great thing about this song for me is no really high parts as I don't have a great vocal range so I might give it a go myself. How long did it take you to from learning it to performance level? Anyway, thanks for posting


Hi Mark, and thanks so much for your kind words mate. The story’s a bit long winded my friend, sorry - I’ve always loved listening to the song, and about 2 years ago I was just messing with some chords one day, doing a couple of ‘hammers on’ and ‘pull offs’ along the way, and I thought bits of what I was doing sounded similar to this song.
So I played with it - just messing really - and found what I was doing was similar in ways to the official chord structure. So I got the lyrics and put it all together.
I think I played it through about 5 or 6 times before doing a recording of it along to a backing track to see if it worked (the video of THAT is on my YT channel). I hated the result so never played it again. lol
Then last week I got the urge to try it again, ran through it twice, and recorded the video you see here.

My new gear isn’t very exciting by YOUR standards, I’m sure. I have an iMac, with a Focusrite 2i2 complete studio set up, and a couple of Shure condenser mics. I’m unsure what DAW I’ll be using yet as to be honest, I haven’t a clue what I’m doing and will have to check out learning curves etc. I also want to learn about creating videos of what I do as well - just as a hobby in my retirement, nothing professional, obviously.

If there’s anything you feel I should know your contribution would be welcome, and if you DO have a go at this song I’d LOVE to hear it - as I’m certain would we all.
