[@michaelfox1432]

Paul, you have been my favorite guitarist for years. Not because of your speed, which is very quick, or your licks, which are sweet and juicy, but because your love of music and your pure joy in playing comes through. Someone puts a guitar in your hands and that big smile immediately comes on your face. This, more than anything else, is what I strive for in music. To keep it as much fun and as full of joy as I can.

[@DougCanney1]

@@ADAMnotJASON He recorded it in standard tuning, but when he played live he played it in B, or Bb to be more precise. Eddie always tuned down a half a step so it’s weird that he would record it standard, but he did it because his keyboard was a standard type keyboard, I don’t think you could adjust the pitch. If you watch the video, he’s definitely playing it in the B position.
