I cheated a little and added a lead background track. This song just isn't the same without Maury Muelheisen's great lead.

Busking Jim Croce Operator
Daryl,
I was playing Jim Croce's part. The backing track was bass and rhythm. There are all kinds of backing tracks available just Google what you want. I got this track by Googling: Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) (Instrumental Track Without Background Vocal) (Karaoke.. You have to search around for what you want. I don't do it a lot but sometimes it's just fun.
Marc,
I've been working on this song for a few months. I've always liked it. I now have the time to practice some of the songs I've been wanting to play for years. Retirement is good for my music. Thumb picking skills come after tons of practice. I've played this song probably a thousand times. It's still hard because it's pretty fast. The change from G to Bm with the bass run is the hardest. Neil's lessons have helped a lot because he taught me how to build the chords note by note (lay down the barre first, then play the other notes as you need them). I'm glad you enjoyed the song.

Neil doesn't have this lesson yet. He does do both parts for "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song". I would love to see a lesson on this just to learn the lead.

Oh yes I remember we have both parts on that song,, it would be fun too having a jamming FOTW but not playing lead by Neil but the student..
