Sorry dude but murdered that song...for that and that alone you should be banished from my country.

Nice campfire version Vince. I learned this a few years ago. Lots of fun to jam on. Bill doesn't play it that way but I understand why you taught it this way. He uses Am7 Em7 G7 Dm7.

Hey Bruce! Thanks, and yeah great tune. Can’t agree with you on the 7ths though. I ran through it today and they aren’t in the original recoding. But I’m sure there’s several versions out there. The Am7 and Em7 would work but the G7 feels off.

@@mosybohica Bill only plays the 6 and 3-4 strings. He is definately holding the chords I mentioned, in old videos. He doesn't even finger the Em7. It's open strings which means 7'th if he plays the 4'th string. The 7'th note (4 string) doesn't ring through on the G. Have you tried it with the bass pick-up notes before the Am7. Really fills it out.

slowfinger2 Cool, I just play the notes that ring through but great song. And a fairly quick one for new players to pick up 🤘 Hope you’re safe out west... crazy times my friend

@@mosybohica Agreed. I'm a stickler for note for note; (another description of a-hole.) All good here. Dampanic! You must promise we'll jam next time you visit home. The studio isn't getting much use these days.👀
