Too bad it's so ridiculously high to sing. I did a Show & Tell entry a while back on Dust in the Wind. All these years I had never learned to play it. I learned to play the Travis pick more than 5 decades ago, very much like zombywoof described above in his post, but I finally decided to see if I could sing it. Barely...

Works that way for me far too often.

Exactly right! The same principle applies to songs that choke you up a little. If they still do, you haven't played/practiced it enough
