Great cover and lesson, however, I was just wondering one thing. Right after the intro, when you play the C# minor chord (the II chord), I am almost 100% shure that there is an G# (6th fret, 4th string)note playing instead of a C# note(6th fret, 3rd string) on the original recording, and after the II chord. I can clearly hear the G# move up to the A# note.

Please help me on this one, its driving me nuts because my ear isn't too good at figuring out things by ear :S

Please help :)

You really are a great guitarist... I NEVER say that. I know it's not a virtuoso style solo, but you play it wonderfully. You can tell you really enjoy music. Keep it up!
