A Bryan Adams Song. I posted the vocal version to Soundclick some time ago. Also I had an instrumental version posted, but didn't like it. I just re-posted the instrumental. It still needs some polishing, but it's smoother than it was.

Comments are welcome, but be gentle. It's my first time posting a song on GN.

Instrumental:

Nice!

Is that the version from the fingerpicking ballads book that Hal Leonard put out?

nice job on both counts - 2 very good takes on a classic!!

Finally got around to listening to the vocal stuff for this song from your soundclick page, nice job on the singing, for me it's a bit too operatic, but you sounded nice. I tried working on this song about a year ago when first starting to play the guitar, this shows my struggle, with mistakes and all LOL, this was posted in another topic here on May 5, 2008.

Thanks for the comments.

Joe, I would say that you were very ambitious taking on this song when you first started to play guitar. It took me more than a few tries on the instrumental version to record something that I'm reasonably happy with.

The arrangement is from a Hal Leonard collection, but I'm not sure if it's the same one that you're talking about. It's "The Very Best of Fingerstyle Guitar." Without endorsing this particular vendor, here's a link to info about the book:

I really like the variety of music in this book. Besides being different styles, some songs are easy to play for me and some are more challenging. I've had it over a year and there are still a couple of songs that I either can't play well or don't particularly like, but since I truly enjoy playing most of them, I'm delighted.
