Mic drop! Bar none, this has been 'my song' since my days in high school when it came out. Kinda my own personal anthem. I played in a garage band back then, two school talent shows to my credit, then off to reality...college, a real job, building a family, and playing guitar fell by the wayside. A hiatus for almost 35 years. Fast forward, and we're having a 80's reunion back in 2018. Two years prior, I'm dusting off my guitar, and reaching out to old friends I haven't in 35 years, and we assemble a band to play at the reunion. I'm rusty as can be. We all live hours and hours away from each other. Time isn't on our side, but my drive to make this happen is. KZfaq helps in so many ways. That's how I came across your channel. I had no idea you were the talent behind the guitar on that song, until today. It all makes sense, though. You've been one of my favorite 'teachers' since I discovered your channel, because it's so easy to connect with both your passion and your sense of melody, and the historic songs that have been a fabric of my life for decades. My proudest moment that will live forever with me from that night playing the reunion was our cover of "Change". I can't say "thank you" enough for all you do for so many of us...but for me, this is the mountaintop, so it won't stop me from trying So, thank you, Tim!

Probably have said this before but got to know all about you back in the early 80s when I was 12 and a huge Rick Springfield fan. Was taking guitar lessons (6th grade) so as much as I loved the tunes on Working Class Dog and Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet, I saw you playing lead on the tours. Have followed you ever since which certainly has become easier with KZfaq, internet, etc. Became a John Waite fan off of the video on MTV for Change. John's next album blew up but I still have Ignition on vinyl. Amazing to now realize you played guitar on that album. I am a proud member of your master class as well. Being 50 now, I am fortunate enough to have more guitars and amps than I will ever need and have played in the same cover band for the last 20 years (but we still look good). Looking at a Kahayan on reverb to link all my stuff together. You should get the commission. Thank you for all you do. This video made my day especially during these challenging times.

Thanks for all the great playing over the years.

So now I'm going through all the old Rick Springfield concert videos on youtube and see you playing a white Strat and wearing a derby in almost every video. What a blast you must have had in those days. Well done! And thank you for breaking down the solo in this song. I've always wondered how you created it and made it fit so perfectly.
