Please Note: I hurt my guitar hand for lead playing; my last two fingers somehow are injured and could be from weight lifting. I’m not sure but they are extremely weak. I really struggled on this track.  However I will continue to push forward with everything I do.

Note: I have never improvised over or with a piano; however the song by itself is great by the original artist.
