Love your Cat/Yusuf songs. You do his music justice.
One small suggestion for this song. Try playing the high A-note from the intro (where you stretch your pinky finger out to 5th fret) during the small interlude between verses. I don't hear it in most covers of song, but think that's how its played in original version.
This is not criticism; just a little suggestion. I love your stuff, and wish I could do what you do. More, please.
First, I love to discuss things like this, really! I will listen to the CD at home, but I think this note comes from 2nd (Alun's) guitar. Also because on youtube you can find videos where you can see in close ups how Yusuf plays it today. So I don't think .... but I will research. Thank you so much!

I agree that Alun likely played it on Teaser, and your rendition matches Yusuf. I just like hearing that note in the song:)
No need for further research. Focus instead on your next Yusuf cover, which I eagerly await. Thanks.

You were right. Just listened to the original. Within the verse Cat Stevens also sometimes played the a-note on the 5th fret. Good ears!!
