Fun shoes to walk in and it's a great song to learn and you young gents are on your way. Keep it up! It a favorite of mine to play. Hey Alex, if you get the chance to listen to the song 100 more times and learn it by ear, learn the feel of it, soak it in on listener level and really learn the intent of the song, you will have a greater understanding of it and command of it. It's fusion but it has a natural shuffle feel and groove.
BTW...These are two cool versions by Robben and Greg. Robben stretches out with Russell (who wrote the tune) and Greg reinterprets the tune but with great feel. Thanks for sharing~ RG
Thank you guys so much for the replies and suggested listening. Robben is for sure one of my favorite players and I'm looking forward to tackling his style more in the future. Every time we play this song it gets a bit better.
I did make a short note in the description that Russell wrote the song but I tagged the video with Robben Ford since it's the recording on his album that I listened to so much.
Thanks again!
