I did actually get George Harrison's acoustic solo in the Beatles' "And I Love Her" down, but was told by many that I lacked passion! That was the closest I ever came to playing something on the guitar besides chords.

Other than being a medical doctor, I think being a musician is the finest thing one could be. I was hopeless at both, so settled for the law (or these days, the lack thereof).

And b/t/w, "Hey Nineteen" is another super great SD song.
