Good start and … keep practicing 
…don’t think I’ve ever gotten a good start on this…the right back and forth between the bass notes and those at a reasonable speed and muting once seemed like quite a tough job…maybe I’ll start soon, 
unfortunately my singing is slightly well…different…well uh…a lot 
so no singing it is and then it is not that graet I think to play …we see 
Have fun decorating this one

Much obliged @roger_holland
This one has lots of nuance that I didn’t appreciate until I started listening more closely. Without the band I need to “chunka chunka” a bit instead of pluck to get the train feeling. I know what that means in my head, but my fingers are slow. (And 15 minutes is obviously not enough time to master the solo parts!)
Thanks for the kind words.

This is a good foundation, Roger. Such a great song (probably my favorite ever). One thing to think about might be adding a bit of palm muting, the way Luther Perkins did. Very good start and you grabbed the feel of the song for sure.

Thanks @ToshS
Palm mute and double pluck (strum?) 16th instead of single pluck to simulate more closely the “train” feel are added to my practice list.
I really like the Perkins version the best.
(Though I am not sure the Rogier would like to be stuck with my skillset… !)
Thanks Bruddah.

Is that Pete?! I love that show!
What is the famous line by Robert De Niro?
“You talkin’ to me?” – “Taxi Driver” (1976) – Fittingly, De Niro is behind one of the most famous movie quotes of all time and a perfect assessment of masculinity.
