Awesome composition. I love this song, it really throws me back to highschool where I used to sing it to everyone who never wanted to hear

[@mclricardo]

Kelly is not only a gifted guitar player, but also a very talented music arranger, for which he deserves all my respect. He renewed my interest in guitar. Many thanks!

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

Andy McKee does a good version, but I found my new favorite. Well done Sir!! 👍

[@Maysey9241]

Remind me of that one episode of family guy with Joe

[@andrewellis712]

I heard + saw those harmonics and was like....... this guy is inhuman

[@cinderr265]

Lyrics : I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

[@seanchristophersynthesizer6999]

Every time I hear guitar played this well I decide to not pursue learning the guitar, and just stick to piano and keyboards. LOL Fantastic playing! :)

Is this standard tuning? Sounds like some sort of DADGAD tuning to me.

[@blt024]

[@stevemurray8063]

Epic! Fantastic talent. KV's music was awesome when I first started listening, but he just keeps getting better and better, and I don't know how.

[@lukinexCZ]

Beautiful :) Thank you for your work. I am your fan from Czech republic.

[@mike_van_in]

Kelly, this is superb! Please consider doing a version using on-board pickups - it would be very interesting to hear the difference.
