This song has a lot of cool elements to it. It’s a great grade 1 song to learn.

As you a great song for Grade 1.
I have the chords and strumming ok, also singing so my next challenge is putting the two elements together.
Have you tried the intro riff? I don’t have a cutaway guitar so can’t do a exact version, again I have got the parts but not put them together.
I have tried the intro riff. Hard to pull off on a non-cutaway and not critical to the song. It might be nice in a band setting on an electric guitar.
Yes would be better with two guitars.
Without a cutaway guitar I just repeat the first bar, not perfect but sounds sort of ok. The problem for me going smoothly to bar 4 which I have not managed to do yet
Now that is what it’s all about.
Really good performance.

I love the form of this song and the lyrics are fantastic. It is so fun to play. This is one of the songs that really inspired me to sing and play at the same time.

Hahah yeah! I was thrilled to see it. Nothing like having a video shared with thousands of people to get me over my fear of videos.

How did I miss this?
I agree with you, its one of my favourite songs. You’ve done a great job with it Dan. You’ve got a great vibe going here. Justin has a few other Tom Waite’s song lessons too when you’re ready for them.

Thanks so much. Tom Waits has so many modern classics, all representing such a great evolution of the blues.
