Hi all – hope you’re enjoying the weekend and the new speedy website!

I have been learning this song for a while and it’s nice to see it making a comeback! 🙂

  Haha – are you referring to me as a younger generation? Thanks!

Hey Disco that was a great cover, really nice! Such a great lick….Ive learned and been inspired so much in this forum and youve done it again! Ive been playing this song too but havent been able to sing it yet, cant find the timing. I need to continue to work on the playing but watching you sing it has helped immensely so thanks a lot!!

  Thanks so much Marisa! The timing on this was really hard for me to get down and the melody is so much harder than I thought it was to get all the right notes. I’m really looking forward to hearing you sing it! 🙂
  
  Hope you’re having a great week!

This is really great! Don’t worry about the singing, it will happen. I’m hoping some day I can do this.

Have to agree with the others, you did a great job with the timing and playing this. I didn’t realize this was coming back.
