Just my own way of playing it. Couple of buff notes I apologise for! Love this song and constantly amazed by Mark's play style and fingerpicking. Hope you like. Please rate, comment, subscribe and share if you do! Thanks for watching!

Playing a song isn't necessarily about duplicating how it's played, but putting your own interpretation of it. Everyone hears a song differently and picks out the bits that are important to them. Keep doing what you do.

I hope when you say "it is not the best version", that this is false modesty. This is the best version of the song I have ever heard

Listen mate, if ever find yourself lonely on a Saturday night drag your guitar and voice down to the street corner and you will attract so many sheilas you'll never be lonely again. Great cover.

Ok, one of my favourite bands, and perfect when delivered. Every cover has been pale by comparison. Yours is by far my favourite cover.

Thanks a lot mate! Really appreciate that. Although I don't have a tab, like I explained in the vid, I just play it by ear, hence why the chords and notes are quite different to the original. I just play what seems to fit and sound nice. Although when I am desperately in need of a tab I trawl on Ultimate Guitar Tabs. Hope that helps.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving any cover song a little taste of your flavor. This is one of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion and your rendition of it is unbelievable. It shows musicianship in style.
