Default "I'll Be There" (Jackson 5) Fingerstyle version
Hi folks, this is my simple fingerstyle arrangement of "I'll Be There. For me htis song is an absolute masterpiece and I really love this composition. My cover for acoustic solo guitar is only a first tryout but I hope you enjoy my version.

Have a nice weekend and take care of you!

Greetings, Jimmy

When I was 12 I bought this song on a 45. As a soprano I could sing along with Michael Jackson note for note. A big fan of music already by the time I was 12, this was possibly my favorite song ever. Thanks for bringing me back to lying in my dad’s study having turned the two stereo speakers towards each other with my head in the middle, listening and singing along to this song with the turntable arm up. Your playing is absolutely sublime.
