PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

I have been putting some additional work into this song. Any comments or suggestions to help move it along are always appreciated.

I thought you certainly made it your own Buddy. Was that solo something you devised? I've been working on this tune for 2 years and still nowhere near good! Lol. I'll need to keep trying.

Nice playing.

Howdy Tony, I just through that solo in to fit with the backing track. Keep working on this it is worth the effort, what a classic song.

Nicely done, Buddy. I find those A shaped barre chords to be a pain in the neck!

G'day Buddy, As Tony says you certainly made this your own, pretty solid strumming and good singing as normal. However, as a bit of an Eric clapton purist lol my verdict is still out on your version. The unplugged version is more in 'swing time' than yours and the chords have a tendencey to ring on a bit in the original, but yours seem cut short. Also like the current thread on lyrics and the discussion about changeing them, some guys say some things shouldn't be changed and I believe the same applies to certain solos; I say good on ya for trying your own, cos thats not an easy thing to do, but in my opinion this is a signature part of the tune and should'nt be messed with too much. I know Neil says he doesn't expect players to get the solos note perfect, but I believe they need to sound close.

Again solid playing and singin plus your tempo is well maintained, so technically I guess well done.
