@Lanny Thanks brother! No matter what we play it has to become our own at some point. I enjoyed this song for playing purposes.

Howdy gang! Here is my latest effort.
Love this song anyway, so I had to try it - after doing this lesson in Beginner to Badass.

thatâs nice @JDDaniel , youâre getting closer to âbadassâ 
a few ideas if you want some constructive advices :
- some notes are ringing too long : itâs about your muting technique. when you play a note, itâs often useful to mute the previous note, so they donât interact and create some kind of unwanted weird chord. something to work here
- your timing is too early, which means that you attack the notes a liiiiiittle bit before the actual note happens on the song. it sounds like youâre trying to make the song accelerate (which wonât work
) - if I remember, this song has nothing difficult, so it would not be really harder to play for a longer time ; maybe next time you could try a full length cover ?
'hope it helps ! congrats again !

So I got caught yesterday in my music room working on an Anniversary gift for Connie. Our 42nd anniversary is only a week away and I had started working on the bass line of âWonderful Tonightâ by Eric Clapton and she caught on to it⌠So, I just put this cover together as normal, but what she doesnât know is that the REAL version will not contain any of Claptons music - just my bass line along with my Navy Buddy Ronnie Slack playing some lead guitar riffs while the written lyrics show up on screen. Kind of like a musical Anniversary card with no one singing - just instruments playing, photos, and words⌠Anyway, figured since I had to finish this âDecoyâ version that I might as well just post it as normal.
After covering several fairly fast paced rock songs lately, going to this really slow paced song was⌠HELL for me! Almost fell asleep a couple times playing through it⌠Also, I recorded the song from one of my old records that had a bit of a scratch in it in the beginning that you can kinda hear⌠Sorry for that, but like I mentioned, Iâm not gonna use the song anyway - only my bass line from it⌠Oh, Connie, my kids and grandkids only watch my covers that have something more interesting to look at, (Other than just me) so I always create them for their enjoyment⌠EnjoyâŚ
Keep on Thumpinâ!
