@TwangaBunga i like the two different takes on the solo. Josh went all on blues, Martin went more Jazzy. Which both fit the progression. It's just John himself went bluesy and Martin's lick might be a bit long for the phrasing of the song.

@@heirtothepwn maybe...but as a vocalist/multi-instrumentalist myself, song selection does matter...and anyone who performs in from of crowds knows this. I dont think this was a good choice for him vocally....and Ive seen this from him more than a time or two: He has access to other vocalists who are a better fit for a song, yet he chooses to do it himself. I'm pretty descent at a bunch of instruments, but there are MANY that I would never put front-and-center for an audience because I have access to far better musicians in my circles. This young man has WAY more access than I do...so I think it makes more sense to choose the best tool for the job at hand. Just on opinion, of course....and what do I know.
