          Great cover of a great classic.

                          Very nice rendition of an absolute classic, Byron 👍🎶😎

                          Loved seeing you play Drums on the Pads 👏👏 – that’s exactly what I used to do! It allowed me to get a more “live” feel (warts-n-all) rather than use the auto-drummer 👍👍

                          I noticed too that you said, “Im no shredder though, I like my stuff simple”. I agree – I’ve no wish to be a shredder. However, you are doing yourself a disservice to say that your stuff is “simple” – it may be slower, but is more melodic, precise, and you can hear the notes 🎼🎶🎵

                          Best wishes buddy 😎

                            That was a great cover and doing the whole package yourself. (I was practicing the riff recently with Louie Louie as they are the same chords A, D, Em). Some of these iconic songs just have simple chord progressions but pack a punch and also have millions of video views. Couldn’t help but think your voice would lend itself to the song … “take a walk on the wild side”.

                              Thanks man!!! Songs I do may be simple, but your right I think its more melodic, plus ive noticed once you have played songs for so long, music starts to come together like a puzzle!!! I think ive improved over the last year or so vastly!! 😀 Thanks man!

                                  Dude you can sing. This sounds FANTASTIC. The Taylor sounds crisp and blends nicely with the distorted electric. You brought a very simple song to life. Not easy to do. Nevertheless, great overall production and performance. Thanks for sharing.

                                        Great Rendition Byron. And I think the range and tone on this one is spot on for your vocals. Easy? Doesn’t matter, you’ve still got to deliver and you delivered! All the best! 😎🎸😎
