    Wow, this song rocks! I’m taking the beginner lessons but what makes me wonder is will I be making progress if I try a “side song” as I continue trying to perfect the early D, A, E chords? I know my chord changes really need work but I can’t help to see the possibilities of playing a great song such as this one.
