That’s great to hear Tom. It’s a pretty complex song by Cat Stevens standards. Good job.
Tom says
Thanks to Jerry, I can not only play this song but sing along while playing the song. The hearing world may never forgive you for this, but you have my eternal gratitude. ;-)
Great lesson. I do appreciate the extra time you take telling and transcribing where the vocals lay down in the piece. It’s a great help.
Thank you!
