Very soon, I lost my second camera, so I have a new one coming tomorrow and will knock that out for ya. Thanks for your patience Paul!

Hi Rob .......Not looking to be a pain but wondering if the mini tutorial will be up soon ? Thank you

paul murphy

Thanks for doing this, Rob. Really looking forward to the learning the entire song : )

Thank you !!! I look forward to it !

Yes, I’m having Stefany Mazor back to do the full tune, but I’ll do a mini tutorial just for you guys to hold you over. Stef is book solid all week.

Hi ,,,,,any plans for the second half of the song ? Thank you

paul murphy

Perfect. Like the fact that you won't stop until you have captured all the subtleties to share with us!

Great tab! Thanks for putting this up! One question about the tab, for the verse, where do you do the hammer-on and pull-off on the D (eg measures 10 and 18 in the PDF tab), I think it's supposed to start on the downbeat of the 4th beat rather than slightly before as written in the tab? (you did also mention in the video that the hammer-ons for the verse start a bit later than in the intro.

Hey Edward, in most cases notes in parentheses are optional. When I slowed down the track, I could hear that some of the notes sounded a bit chunkier than others, as if the finger was striking one or two other strings. These notes aren't essential in creating the melody, but will make the sound fuller if added to the arrangement.

Great ;job Rob. Can you tell me if the notes in parentheses are intended to be played softly - I don't hear them on the record. Thanks.

Perfect...as always !! Thank you so much

Hey Paul, I'm definitely going to add the lyrics and create a chord sheet. Of course, adding the lyrics will make the tab much longer and more repetitive, but it's good to have both. In this version, I was able to to add repeats to specific sections, making it more useful to a guitar accompanist.

Hi Rob : One question ...Any reason why the words to the song are not on the tab ? Just makes it easier for me from a timing perspective ... Having lots of fun learning this song ...Thank you

Thanks Pam, glad you like the new layout. It sure is a lot easier on my end and looks much more professional. Of course, everyone will need to learn the basics of musical notation to get the note values and rhythm.

The new tab is excellent!

It looks like it’s not working on the Patreon app on iPhone, but when I log on the site from safari iPhone it works. Must be an issue with the app. Thanks for your response!
