Tom, can this song be played by just using the thumb over the 6th string on the A chord. Like Hendrix did all the time. its something I have been working on and instead of trying to mute that 5th string, this works for me. , Do you currently play with a band now? and what's the name of the band?? I hope I am not getting too personal, if so just disregard the last couple of questions. Good tune, good lesson, keep the good tunes coming, Tommy
