Very impressed with the vocals on this one. I can imagine this one takes a bit of practice. You nailed it big time.

And Johnny the guitar outro was well... pretty brilliant. You really ought to have many many people listen to you play.

Good work chaps

Mike

Yes, mate... although I had to do a fair bit of tweaking to get them sounding more human.

I ran the risk of driving Johnny Mad with this,or at least that's what I thought.
This song is like 4 songs in one
You have the start lower in tone,then that jump up,then it goes down to that west side story feel ,then it goes on to the meet you all the way part ,again like another song.
When you dissect it it's a very clever song.
I watched them do it on you tube live and steve lukather starts the song then hands it over to the other singer for the high part.
I sat with the acoustic and thought I had the correct key several times but when it was ok at the start it slung it out in the middle.
We got there in the end but Johnnys perseverance and patience was commendable.
I was that busy trying to get it right and worrying about the key I didn't realise just how bloody good the guitar playing was on this,johnnys a force of nature to be sure,one of the best guitarist I've heard for a long while .
I was a bit brave in hindsight to suggest this to him but I'm glad I did as you never know what you can be capable of until you push.
Far from perfect but a good stab at it.
Thanks guys for all the kind words and thanks johnny for putting up with me 👍
