Thank you for the response, appreciate it!

Thanks so much!!! I really like this song, and guitar!! My guitar dosn't sound exactly like yours on some of the notes but it's tuned so what should I do?

[gtrjoeles]

@tigerfox0601 If the guitar chords sound "out of tune" when the strings are in tune means you need a good "set up" on you're guitar. That would include setting intonation, string height, neck relief and fret height. Don't go to chains like Guitar Center; take it to a good local music shop that has an experienced luthier or repair person (ask around) - Good Luck ~ Joe

Thanks for this... we sang this song in a vocal workshop and i wanted to get the guitar stuff down for it. I really like the way you break it down- especially when it comes to the lead licks! Nice sound too!

[gtrjoeles]

@luukey9 Well - you're welcome; glad to hear it helped. ~ All my best ~ Joe

i really think u should either redo this video or add a link that concentrates on the strumming

[fireballpip]

@spazz1ponticlover It's all plucking

I really wanted to play this song that's why i just bought a guitar even though i can't even play a note! Thank you sooo much!

[gtrjoeles]

@hippimind You're most welcome. Take it slow, and learn a section at a time until you can play it well enough to move on. ~ Joe

great song cool lesson. I always like to play my own lead stuff to this tune, but you did a great job teaching it. I am sure this will help lots of people out. there should be more people teaching solo's on you tube. thanks for a great lesson. Joe

[gtrjoeles]

@thebluesrockers Funny, I did the same (my own solo) until I had a request for it and as I started working it out I was really surprised at how much BB King influenced licks are in the song. I think that speaks a lot for making the solo/song work so well. Thanks for the comment it's much appreciated ~ Joe
