thanks really. I just stopped by to say that your version was what inspired the cover that I will play for nearly 10.000 people on the December 19th, in a fund raiser Special Christmas Show, at the House Of Music, in Porto, Portugal. If I get to have a recording, I'll post it here as response for you.

I am glad I helped. Would be cool to see a video of it. Would be even cooler if you could sponsor my airticket to Porto to watch it live! :p

D you have sheet music? That was awesome!!!!

[limsc79]

Thanks. Unfortunately there is no sheet music. I played by ear. But if this helps, the chords are as below.

C C7 F Fm G/C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C

F F Dm D G Dm G G7

C C7 F Fm G/C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C

Finish with a blues C scale.

Nice one man. Can you post a tutorial pls.?

[manelfreitas]

Man, regardless of what you say, this is SO GOOD. I'm telling you, I was asked to present a original and personal version of this song, and as I play and really feel my blues/bluesrock, it had been a tricky task to come out with a blues version, mainly because I just couldn't find the right rithym, and also because the song is so much more on the pop and jazz side. So, I was wandering around youtube, seeking for some "help", and I ran into your video. I found the rithym I was seeking for, so
