Alright guys, the gauntlet is thrown down! LOLThis is one of those epic, best-of-all-time songs that I NEVER EVER EVER CONSIDERED playing on guitar, EVER, because of the crazy chord progressions, odd rhythms and way-out sound.But you know what? My cigar box guitar can do it!HOOO AAH!Alright, so, thanks for watching, and if YOU play cigar box guitar, or slide guitar, I'd LOVE to see what you can do too!Have a great day, and don't stop recording, the world is watching! :D

Great stuff! Youre right, epic tune - I was a kid when that came out. Good times.

Anyone will tell you I dont play much, but last night I made an effort to learn some 3 string chords, and what do ya know? Four recognisable tunes just fell out that box!

Id like to add this to my repertoire though - can I ask what tuning youre using? D A D?

Good work - 5 stars :)
