    Thank you so much. I'm 16 now and still love to play this song. Mark Farner is one of my favorite guitarists (along with Ted Nugent, Peter Frampton, Dave Mason, Alvin Lee etc) and I've always loved this song. It made my dad proud when I showed him what I could play, thanks to you... thanks for posting!

      Thanks for the reply! I've been in love with my music since I was very young... my father is the reason I play today. Right now I'm gonna be learning how to play "flirtin' with disaster" by Molly Hatchet. Can't wait!

    Thanks Dale. Your a great player and teacher. Been playing these songs for 45 years (just for fun) and I pick up some little things and nuances like this and it really brightens my day and makes playing that more enjoyable. Thank God there are people like you who likely worked hard at their playing and are willing to share it with folks like me. Love It!!! Thank you very much!

    Another GREAT one Dale! Two things.....you make so many tunes and vids.. when do you find time for other things? hehe AND...you ALWAYS return a nice comment to people that comment on your stuff...That's just AWESOME! Shows your character for sure. It's a real pleasure getting to know you and I LOVE your music. A true example for ALL people, ESPECIALLY in music! You and your family are an inspiration that we should ALL try to emulate! The "Take me to the Cross" tune keeps running around in my head and my wife LOVES IT! The Lord smiles when he hears that one and so do we! Have a wonderful weekend and keep up the great work!
    PS....I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS! The Edgar Winter Free Ride tune has me drillin it all dang day! Gonna have a fortune in bandaids and new frets! hehe If I don't stop buying guitars the little lady is going to beat me into the shape of one....MORE BANDAIDS! hehe You just never know about me...I fly for a living....would LOVE to see the Lexington Lab Band and meet you guys!

      Sir? I aint yer daddy! hehe Kiddin....I'm just Flybob, an appreciative friend! Trust me Dale, I jam with LLB pretty much every day. We've grown to like you guys tunes better than most of the originals. You're every bit as good and a lot more fun to watch. You bring in a ton of talent and I REALLY like the way you give the young people a chance to strut their stuff. ALL inspiring and in the light of the King of Kings. As much as I love rock, it seems all the big players turn away from decency and that's not what I like to see as role models. Like miley and taylor whom we all thought were going to stay sweet for life. You have made rock what I want it to be, fun, toe tapping and DECENT done by DECENT people! Rock isn't ALL sex and drugs and rock and roll, some of us go the right way. I have a dream to change some of the lyrics in popular tunes and play them in a church band. How's THAT for an idea? No disrespect to the original artists but a toe tapping rock/gospel band? How cool is that? I was going to call the band the OGB (old guys band). My buddy suggested "Ancient wind". Ok....old farts....hehe....I think he has something there! Keep up the good work......we're watching you! hehe Keep up the tutorials too.....I'm learning a TON from them! Thanks for all your hard work and caring about your fellow man....that part Jesus is watching!

    Your positioning on the inverted C chord being played 0,5,5,3 that ends up rising with the same position to the F 0,10,10,8 is correct, or at least it's the way he played it on a Guild 12 string in his living room in 1984 (85? man could of been, but it would of been early). I went to the same high school (Kearsley) as Mark, and was taking lessons from his back up guitarist at the time for his Christian music. I got to go over and sit in on a rehearsal, and Joel had me play Jethro Tulls Aqualung for him. I'll never forget that day. Theres only 2 small parts(a slide in the intro and a pull off) he plays that you don't. Very accurate.
