          This is a very nice acoustic Rendition Andre.

            Very good Andre! One of my favorite Tom Petty songs and you did it justice!

                Not very familiar with Petty’s songs in general (I knew him for the legendary tribute to George Harrison with the epic guitar solo by Prince in “While my guitar gently weeps” and consequently I later discovered the songs of the “Traveling Wilburys”), but this song sounds very nice and your bravery playing very well all these 5 parts is amazing and very enjoyable to listen to (congrats also on your instruments collection)! Great ans soulful vocals by Steven! Great rendition guys!

                  Andre,

                  Excellent display of you’re multi talent – just great from start to finish. Really nicely put together. The singer is also excellent.

                      Nice cover, Andre and Steve. First time I’ve seen the twelve string, Andre. It adds a nice chiming fullness to the rhythm.

                            Hey mate, Great production. Really smooth. Loved the arrangement.

                            I know how much effort it takes and you are stellar!!

                            Ooooozing talent, both of you.

                              Nice interplay; what a great production. Great track I remember the original very well.

                              Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                                    Well done Andre, super talented. Me I didn’t know this song very well, I’d heard the hook line in the chorus, but that was about all that had got into my head over the years.
                                    I kept Andre waiting for months on end after agreeing to do this, then I finally sent him a one take track that I did whilst reading the lyrics on the internet.
                                    Andre worked miracles with it, this is his baby and it’s all down to his talent.
                                    Sorry that I kept you waiting and let you down buddy.
                                    Hopefully we will do more in the future if I can get my ass in gear.
                                    Again we’ll done Andre, superb job.

                                        You didn’t let me down man, things happened.
                                        I understand your situation.
                                        Hope we can do it again.
                                        Thx for putting your vocal on this mix, appreciate it.
                                        Keep it cool bro.

                                        Nice job, guys. Such a classic Petty tune. Andre, great work creating that laid back atmospheric track for Steve to sing over.
