You've done a great job with this tune! It sounds so good and the intro is spot on. Heck, it's all right on... This is one of those songs that I was in elementary school when it came out and it was a bit past its prime when I picked up guitar in high school so I really never tried to play it. Now hearing you play it again makes me want to give it a try so thanks for all that you have done here, I'm going to grab the destructions and give it a go! Thank you! Thank you!

Very nice. So clean and comfortably presented. I often abandon others for thei inability to stop prattling on about nothing, or excruciating excursions into this or that. None here, fine business. For the turn at the end of verse, I like to use Esus4 -> E7 because it sounds like freakin magic. Even if you don't teach it, I'd love to hear/see you play "Opinion on love" by Mac Macanally.
