Great lesson, Rob! I will always think of Otis every time I hear this song from now on

Thank you Steve, it’s good to know he will be in the thoughts of many. I’ll have an original tune for Otis up soon, just waiting for the last verse to come. Anyway, I’m so glad you enjoyed the lesson. Have a great day of practice!

Yep! And Steven finishes with a flair by sliding that D chord up to the 14th 15th frets and it sounds great!!
