      Why you dont you play with your son AND that ITS gonna be such a beautiful connection between the both of you. Also you guys can do a couple like one can play the rythym guitar and the other can play the lead Guitar AND change the roles to get better AND you Will regret in this lifetime that you didnt share such a cool thing like playing with your son. Never ITS to late to learn anything . AND there is no excuse. Come on Bro you have to go today to get a classic guitar with nylon strings AND get also an acoustic guitar with steel strings. To start with. The both of you should have at least 2 guitars or More to play AND try different tunings. I HAVE 3 acoustic guitars AND 9 classic guitars AND each one has a different tuning. Like Standard tuning E-A-D-G-B-e, Eb tuning or half step down tuning, Drop D tuning,, Drop C tuning, Celtic Tuning or better known as DADGAD, Open G tuning ( Keith Richards favorite tuning), Open F, Open E, Open D, D Standard tuning or a whole step down tuning from the Standard tuning. , Drop C# tuning to play for example Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana, C# Standard tuning to play almost all the Black Sabbath songs. AND there are dozens of different tunings. You can make your own. One thing dont go More tight than F Standard tuning cause the strings most likely aré gonna break , loose tensión is better. Get a capo for changing tunings AND doing arrangements Fingerstyle songs. Do it today cause tomorrow the coffee Is gonna be cold.

      Yeah it's discouraging, I'd just ignore that. Focus on what you can do. The most complex tapestry is woven of a bunch of simple threads. Just learn some little thing, polish something up, be creative and have fun, one piece at a time. Plus this song isn't THAT difficult, he has the tab at the end. I haven't learned it yet, but I think I will. Playing it with all the flair and snaps and all the fills is another thing, but playing that main progression with the melody in it doesn't look that hard. It's all based around A minor, D, E, and a descending bassline of G F# F A

    A truly iconic tune interpreted by a guitar master with a soul made of strings. If that isn't perfection, the meaning of that word needs to be re-defined.

    Music speaks in many ways. It is an art form which embraces each musician differently. It speaks through the musician, telling the story through the artist’s interpretation, giving it a new life every time. The original speaks silently, while this version screams emotion. Truly captivating.

So are you Justin, I have never met you unlike Ed and Jeff, but you walk the same path... It's all YOU! Remember me. I pray I get to meet you one day... Back in the 80's I was Dr. Feel-good.. I'm now a dad of 4, and Christian. Things change... God be with you my talented friend. Much love, (be safe, do not believe all you here). Rick Hawk Davison....
    If ever you are willing could you play, some Simon and Garfunkel. Love ya Justin, forever + 1 day.... That's a long, long time brother... Play.... On!
