      @@benaplokcampandgo I think that its more to do with the huge number of times someone would want to check out a guitar, and then try to play the first bit. Over and over all day this would go on at a store. The clincher is that it was usually a really bad effort, probably since a beginner would be most likely to have been shown how it was supposed to work, but couldn't quite get it. Imagine being a guitar store employee and having to hear that all shift. Even when it was played well it would have been so repetitive to a worker. Example of a great song that the radio stations ruined for some by playing it all the time as well.

      That's why you can say Good Lord instead of the classic "O my God".

I grew up with same music as you, lost some of my hearing in my right ear due to black mold destroying my eardrum but still belt out tunes because I love to sing and even though I cannot play instruments anymore due to lupus, RA, diabetes/neuropathy, and fibromyalgia I still love the sounds they make when others who are gifted play.

    I too learned that intro very early in my guitar journey, however I've never learned the whole song. Your arrangement here is the best cover/version I've ever heard. Amazing how you could even nail that solo while keep the beat going! You are the champ brother!! BOOOOM!!

    He is leaps and bounds above any guitar player I’ve seen in the past few years. I’ve been around many years and I’m thankful I’ve made it long enough to see this prodigy. His style is slicker than owl shit. I hope he gets wealthy without going through the big commercial jungle.

      Him and ichika nito are tied as there best I’ve seen. This guy is probably more about the passion than the technique but he still seems to have mastered it

    FINALLY, a soloist acoustic guitar player who knows rhythm . Usually a acoustic soloist (and I’ve played ‘recorded with many) speed up and slow down mistaking this for dynamics.

    Although considered a classic, we all know it’s an overplayed song. With that said, I literally cannot get enough of this version of it and listen to it at least once a day, usually more.
    There is so much to be heard and seen from every finger doing it’s own thing. The ambidextrous abilities needed to do everything he’s doing with each finger blows my mind.
