VERY IMPORTANT song in my life (won't bore anyone with the story). But, big thanks for at least giving this a go from a teaching standpoint. I need to play this song (still a learner but quite old) so this is really a big help to get me on my way to playing this tune. Thanks so much

Shit man. Been wanting to ply this for YEARS! Thanks !

[@robhickey5301]

Very appreciative of your efforts. Just found you today and viewed a few of your covers and this lesson. Quality content!

[@dickflinghammer7643]

Thanks man. I shall master this one. Always loved that record. I can appreciate them more when I try to learn thier songs for a little acoustic and vocals. Lots of strange intricacies in the music and the meanings well. This one should put a few dollars in the bucket.

I always love hearing/seeing After Hours in a set! That is awesome about seeing We Walk...it's a fav of mine as well! I saw them twice in 1989 here in Arizona. Once at the small ASU auditorium and then in a much larger amphitheater later in the year. The first show was awesome...they played Wolves, Lower and Peter screwed it up :-) He forgot how many times to play 'house in order'.

I saw them at Miami Arena for the green tour. Surreal performance.

Caught them at Notre Dame in ‘89.

Greetings Dr. Ocular, I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your REM lessons. I am forming a tribute band and whenever I can't figure something out, there you are with all the chops. You chart the planets baby!!

[@r.e.m.guitarlessonscovers9654]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support! I am trying to get a Tribute band going here in Phoenix...anyone out there local please contact me :-)

[@robhickey5301]

@@r.e.m.guitarlessonscovers9654 Hope by now that you found like-minded people to pull a tribute band of with! Here in Western NY we have a pretty solid tribute band that tours, named Dead Letter Office.

Good tune but the vocals are annoying as hell.
