Very touching song Dogs animals are special gifts in our lives we just don’t always realize it until they are gone. Thanks for listening in and commenting to this ole song the original song had even sadder verses. This version was sad enough. In my search to learn 3/4 time music it came up and I had to do it.

[KevinZ]

No truer words @albert_d very glad you enjoyed my rendition. So glad you enjoyed my rendition

I have been in this situation and couldn’t do it. In my life I have had many animals end cycles for animals or people are never easy. I searched for 3/4 time music this came up and I had to do it. Waltz beat has always been hard for me the more I do the easier it is getting. Thanks for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated

Thanks fun is what it is all about to me that and keeping my mind sharp to give Alzheimer’s a good run for the money. I am glad I got to close a bar down don’t see it happening much anymore. But they were good times nowadays kind of wiser and don’t care if I do that. But a song like this takes me back without the negative effects of partying ha ha. Thanks for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated so grateful you enjoyed my rendition.

This is such a fun song I have been that guy partying until sunrise in a bar. So in a way I could relate took those times for granted haven’t done it for years now but have no regrets.

Thanks so very much for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated. Yes it was fun no doubt.

Hey thanks so much for listening in and commenting. I am so glad you like to waltz. It is fading into the past but not with me I dance waltz every time I get the chance. I had to learn waltz really good for Sound Of Music I was Capt Von Trapp twice did 2 different productions about 7 years apart. Each director was very strict about knowing the German Lendler and waltz songs. So my drive to be able to play them is strong. I have a nice old waltz called Old Shep in the background already done. After I post that I plan to tackle That’s Amor e Dean Martin version love to dance around the floor to that fun song. So you dance and keep dancing till you can’t we dancer’s are a dying breed more power to you.

Thanks I struggled with the thought it was 3/4 but think the pull off to the strike string pull off land root chord 123 rest is 123 strum but faster with improvised turn around down the neck. Hardest for me was remembering the lyrics because it is so fast the words verses have to just flow cant think have to know. During practice I had them but when recorded lost them but quickly recovered by holding a little longer and thinking. When it happens it is like a blank wall but I memorize everything. I must work my mind Alzheimer’s runs bigtime in the family and I won’t go down without a fight. Thanks for listening in and commenting. Very very much appreciated

Thanks I agree there is magic in 3/4 time and it can be used slow and fast. I know it seems silly but I am starting to realize that thanks for listening in and commenting. Very very much appreciated so grateful you enjoyed my rendition.

Thanks so much my waltz songs are a goal of mine nice to know I am getting there. There was a time when I could hold up a bar but that was a long time ago. So I can relate to the song on a certain level. Thanks for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated

I would like to help you I know how hard it is so one of the things I have been using is an app called Chordify. It shows the chords the timing you can change keys or add capos huge song database. It allows you to play with the band without all the attitudes from the band members when you are not as skilled. I had to kind of beg a chance to play with a band only to made to feel bad. Had to beg to be told the chords of the song or the key. Basically they told me I couldn’t play with them because them helping me was ruining the quality of their show. So I figured there is more than 1 way to skin a cat also built in metronome and root change tone 25 bucks well worth it.

Thanks to be honest I listen to the originals then play finger picked then flat picked basic strum once I have that down I add effects pinchs hammer ons slaps. When I play unplugged just try and carry the song somewhat like the original. Normally the original has multiple instruments I have 1. So the goal is make 1 sound like many lately I have been adding note runs highlights. Hope to start soloing sections soon in all my songs. I purposely add effects to make it sound more dynamic hope that answers your question. Thanks so very much for listening in and commenting. Very much appreciated
