If you ever get the opportunity to see me perform, it will be on my play list. I do the acoustic version very well. The solo parts are challenging enough, and this is maybe the only song beside Neon that I can always change up every time I play or just have an extended solo to it. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<div class=\"c354d1e329b235f1862b41000f5a4d18\" data-index=\"5\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* guitar_inpost_250x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"1025806729\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 250;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Bruce plays the song in so many positions that he makes it all look easy, but the great ones always do don&#8217;t they.<\/p>\n<p>My Larivee L-03 has the depth that you need to pull off a technical song like this live. My DigiTech chorus pedal is the perfect fit for this tune &#8211; like it was made for it. Hopefully when I find the time, I&#8217;ll tape video of it and let you be the judge on how to improve portions of the song, or which parts to eliminate.
