Cover tunes - I love 'em. Some can take a tune and make it sound as if they were born to play it themselves. That's the case here when Johnny makes this song come to life. I have a hard time sitting still whether I'm listening to the song or playing it myself. Man I gotta move! Think of all the songs out there that would have taken on a new life if Johnny had recorded them. Tell me what comes to mind?? Jumping Jack Flash? I love Rock 'n Roll? Working Class Hero?
When playing this one using bar chords lift your index finger up and down for that shuffle sound......Duane
