It is difficult especially when he stretches those fingers-a genius! Well done, thank you. I’m going to subscribe, I hope you have more Crocs songs!

You know this was the song my first wife and I chose for our wedding. I wish we could do it justice with an appropriate waltz dance or something. We were all robbed by his early departure. I can only imagine how many beautiful hits he would have delivered on par with this! And maybe even better! Love the N4N ear you have and share with us because this song is PERFECT just as he played it with his sideman. Thanks for delivering this in an easy way to absorb.

[@DOBacousticguitar]

Thanks very much KP!! This song was a great choice for your wedding. Beautiful love song. And yes, Jim's death was a sudden and shocking loss that stopped the production line. Thankfully his legacy lives on, with an amazing group of acoustic songs written over a relatively short time span.

Hello again Dave. Heard this classic just the other day on my 'go-to' AM radio station. He was such a great singer/songwriter/guitarist. Would love to cover one of his songs but his voice is difficult for me to justify a cover. 🙄 Who knows . . . . maybe one day! 🤷🏻‍♂ 🙏 Anywho . . . . a great tutorial Dave . . . . your playing and vocals are just beautiful Mate. 🎸 🎤 🎧 👌

[@DOBacousticguitar]

Thanks very much John!! I hope you do a Croce cover some day, would love to hear it!!

[@johnnyl1957]

All good Dave. 🤞😊

Just finding your tutorials. This is excellent. Question, have you transcribed You Are So Beautiful, by Joe Cocker, for guitar?

[@DOBacousticguitar]

I have not transcribed it, but thanks very much, and glad you appreciate this channel!
