Default My Take on Bill Withers tune

I play covers in my solo gigs. For the most part, I try to maintain the feel of the original recordings as that seems to be what my audience expects. But this one is an exception. I love the chord progression for this one and have fun soloing over it with a little different feel from the original.

Hey Stratcat - I’d love to hear your Bill Withers tune. I’m also a fan. But the video link doesn’t work.

Marty, that is some great playing. Really nice, melodic soloing. Nice singing too! (Thanks Derek for fixing the link)
