Thank you guys for your kind comments.
The guitar lick was taught to me by Paul Bartlett, a good friend and student of the late Red Shea, Gord's former lead guitar player.
I merely dressed it up a tad by playing the song in the "drop D mode" by using a capo to cover the low "E" string on the fifth fret and a second capo (Shubb) to cover the "A, D, G, B and high E" strings on the seventh fret and playing it in the "D" position.
It seems to find it's own blend that particular way.
To me it's one of Gordon's most powerful pieces of work and I love the song dearly and never get tired playing it. The audience response is most positive.
Cheers,
RJ.
