Nice. I totally dig the Johnny Rivers' version. My mom and I danced to this record when I was a wee baby back in the mid-1960s. It's an absolute joy to play this and other songs off that album on guitar.

Great concise lesson Damien. I worked with Johnny Rivers' brother and Johnny taught me this song as well as Secret Agent Man during halftime at a Superbowl party in '84 or '85. I confess I forgot how to play it, but you brought it all back. Be safe next week. All the best.
