    "Beautiful Girls" was a challenge back in the day. Couldn't get that feel going, no matter how I tried.
    Had to get into funk/soul to get it "right", LOL...

    "Girl Gone Bad" and "Mean Streets" (intro on both), the tap harmonics are still a bitch to nail. Especially on the high E-string...

    "I'm The One", "Eruption", "Fools" (intro), ... Let's not go there.
    Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

            Going back to the Mean Street intro I'm not bad at tapped harmonics but I've never spent the time to learn it properly.

            I talked to Brian Young about it and he said it took him a couple of weeks on and off to master it.

            If I had 2 weeks to spend on my playing I don't think I would use it for this now although I would love to be able to do it. Maybe once I retire...

            Anyhoo for those of you with the time or super natural ability this is an excellent and kind of fun on line lesson.
