Jerry,
I have really enjoyed learning songs using your excellent instruction and tabs. Please consider adding Change the World by Eric Clapton.
Thank you,
Mike

It will be a step up from those two but not as great as you think. If you treat it as a project and give it time you can make the step up from If to Tears in Heaven. It might not be quite as big as you think.

Would you give me your thoughts on the difficulty of “Tears In Heaven” . I was able to get “Sounds of Silence” and “If” but “Tears In Heaven” appears to be a big step up.
