        The Chord Progression in EP256 reminded me of Clapton’s Old Love. Old Love is in Am and EP356 is in Cm. I never would have thought to tackle this one, but Brian’s lessons and teaching style gave me the confidence I needed. Still fubbing a few notes, but hey, it’s Clapton.

          I love the chord progression in this song, especially that G7sus4 to the G7. Thanks for posting, I’ll borrow this to fill in the parts I’m missing.

              The Old Love solo is on my life’s “to do” list. I hope I live a very long time, otherwise it’s not going to happen. There is a lot in Brian’s teaching that helps in getting this down – thanks for sharing.

                There are so many of my favorites that have been unlocked after spending some time absorbing Brian’s lessons. Whereas before I would listen to a song and wonder how in the heck to even approach it, now light bulbs regularly go off.

                You definitely have the right idea going there, a little more practice and it’ll really start to shine.

                  Thanks to all for the comments and constructive criticism. I’ve played through it another 50 times this past Sunday and thinking I will rerecord it. I have it so much smoother. Seems like I am always to anxious to post I guess!
