Great song!! Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated.
Hey Kathleen! Thanks for stopping by. I really love the arpeggio on this one.
Very cool looking site! It looks like you have some good content here. I really like that!
Hi Paul, thanks for your comment! I try to help people out there as much as I can 😉
I like the idea you are showing here. Having all the chords for the song is a great idea for budding musicians.
Right Derek, it’s pretty useful to learn a song. Alternatively, you can learn music theory and how to read a music sheet, but that takes a bit more time. And guitarists are lazy haha!
Nice! I’ll pass this along to my hubby.
Hey Laurie, thanks for stopping by again! And thank you for sharing.
As an avid bassist, I always love hearing alternate takes of an original song. Limp Bizkit did a good job recording The Who’s original recording. I actually like LB’s version better. Thanks for sharing the chord progression, actually comping to it and playing over it with my JamMan Looper.
I really love both versions to be honest. I hesitated to put The Who’s version, I think it belongs here as well. Have fun with the JamMan, it’s a cool device!
