@JohnnyHorton thanks buddy ... just trying to inspire and have fun

wow... i think i'll give it a go, i'm not amazing at guitar... hmm...

[jazzermonk]

@lizwilder123 give it a go, and stop talking down to yourself!! :) playing music has nothing to do with trying to be amazing. If your having fun then you're good.

[lizwilder123]

@jazzermonk yeah i had a go. :) but i think the version i'm using is slightly different... not sure, anyway, my fingers are killing. i know it hurts everyone's, and it's the hardest part. yep, i have fun playing the piano, so i know what you mean. :) thanks anyway.

@lizwilder123 awesome ... the fingers get a tender in the beginning ... but that's how you know you're practicing enough. good luck!

Like your riff better than the original.

Great little lesson, Jimmy, timeless riff.

[iaingbrennan]

Great riff, timeless really, you do it slightly different to the original,Jimmy, but still sounds great, ( be boring if we all sounded the same!) one of these riffs, that the right hand is as important as the left, get the rythm right, and your halfway there,thanks for the lesson man.

@beeroosterm the only thing he does differently is he slides down to an open A ... the way i do it i don't have to make the huge leap... not wrong just different.
