p.s. if u get another share from me it'll be a different vid. :)

[quinoacat]

I forgot to mention I gave this a fiver. Good cover. I have always like the lyrics of this tune.

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much my friend quinoacat. I believe the song was originally written in the key of E, however, due to my range I had to transpose it down to the key of D. Very few chords and simple to play. I'll send it to you in a few. :)

[quinoacat]

From 0025-0030 seconds, the fingering pattern for the Chords you played looks kind of difficult to do. Could you maybe (please) send me a better description of the fingering so I can look those Chords up and play with them?

[quinoacat]

Actually it looked like the same fingering from 0025 thru 0050 seconds...just at different frets and it appears you may have added the thumb to the low E at one point.

[quinoacat]

It looks like fingers 2 and 3 are strings 1 and 2 and fingers 1 and 4 are on the 4th and 5th strings? Looks like a stretch on the pinky finger. It also looks like once you have the hand trained you can get quite a bit of spice out of that chord fingering pattern.

[HuggableAngel]

LOVE THIS SONG , from the movei breakfast club HUGS love it

[RickyShades]

Thanks Huggable.  Great tune! :)

[sharbohemia]

I was listening to this the other day - The Breakfast Club... this is nice, man. I hear the other instruments in the background... so cool this is...full... echo.. ~S

*****

[RickyShades]

Thanks so much Sharbohemia. The tune was a real BIG hit, the movie helped! Reminds me of the era of the Mud Club on White St. off Canal in Manhattan. :)

[sharbohemia]

Rocks!!

[jimmymccombs]

[willhoit63]

Bruce

[RickyShades]

LOL! You're cracking me up Bruce! :)

Thanks for the comment my friend!

[BCBband]

Where's the shades Ricky? Great job.

[RickyShades]

I think one of my youtuber friends borrowed my "shades." :) Thanks BCBand! Much appreciated! :)

[ppatpparis]

Awesome. I am amazed how you make so much music with just a guitar and your voice. You are more than a guitarist; you are a musician. Keep up the great work.

[RickyShades]

Thank you ppatparis! I think it's high-energy strumming ... I take care of the guitar but beat up the strings! Strings have a short life expectancy with me. :)

[ilovemaniototo]

Thats great. Took me back a bit. Well sung I enjoyed your singing and playing. Carol x

[RickyShades]

Thanks Carol! Much appreciated. Yeah, some tunes will always have a way of bringing us back. Is that reliving our anxieties? LOL! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[RossiSinger]
