I agree, Zumazmusic is a great asset on you tube for the DD community. Regardless if he provides a lesson or a cover we would be lost without him as we would with Sid & his wonderful tabs.

To see John's cover, I like ‘ColAsterson’ channel..He has a very good version to Mediterranea. Sid you tabbed it, did you see this version?

Nihilus - yes, I did see this. I think it was Hugorj who posted a link to it when he asked for help to learn this song (see the very first page of the DD thread!) I think my tab is based on both this cover and the recorded version if I remember correctly.

Perfect tab Sid.. these verses are very quickly!

Yes, very fast. I am using software to slow it down so I can hear the notes well enough to make a good tab.

Sid, I checked, your verses and chorus are perfect. But I'm having a serious problem in relation to the rhythm of this sound, very fast, I'm missing many notes but I'm trying to improve it (I admit I started playing late and so I'm not so technically).
Has anyone seen how JT plays this sound live?

I make many mistakes with this song also, Ezzo, if I try to play it at the fast tempo of the recording. I just keep practicing, both with the bass in hand and then just trying to remember how the fretting goes - playing in my head - when I am at work, or going to sleep, or….

I too am old and probably will never be able to play this song as fast as JT did in 1983. I will settle for playing it without too many mistakes even if not as fast as JT!

Your Lava Lamp song is on my list, Ezzo. Don't give up!
