        Really cool video on the reflection on Jim Morrison and how this song was developed.. It started out as a country song, then morphed into a blues progression, then, the rest is history.. (Ray Manzarek was the keyboardist for the Doors)

        Don't practice till you get it right, practice till you can't get it wrong.

            Wow! That was one of my favorite songs. Loads of memories on that one on Miami Beach.

            The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

            It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
