Beautiful version! Love the tempo, your soulful take on the song... well... the whole thing, really. I also heard Little Drummer Boy in the intro. Thought it was a concious choice. Anyhow, it's brilliant. I learned this song from Shutupandplay-Andy. Nowadays I play a hybrid between his version and Gretchen Menn's. From now on I will try to incorporate some of your licks. They are really tasteful. If you feel inspired to do a tutorial on the intro, I will be the first to give a thumbs up 😉 Greetings from Sweden.
Thank you! I guess I should go and find Gretchen Menn's version and look at that. Yes, I was just kind of improvising at the beginning as I had found some cool licks. Maybe I will do a tutorial for the intro. Thanks again.
Hi Dave. As you can probably tell, I added in sort of an improvisational intro to the song. I'm not sure why, but when I started fooling around with that tuning I just felt like it would be fun to give it some of that flavor to start things off. I'd be happy to do a youtube lesson for you if you need it. But I think there are lots of good lesson on youtube already. Finally, you'll notice that I took some liberties, so it's not exactly how Jimmy plays it.
