This song is a BLAST to play. Although it's a rather touchy subject regarding Domestic Abuse in the original, which, with the passion that the both put into it, it's no wonder it's a hit.

I started my thumping and such in this song, hopefully it came across well, it was tough to EQ LOL. I have a knot on the heel of my hand from this at the moment LOL.

Guitar is tuned to Open Gm

Thanks Al! I appreciate you watching. This was my first tune using any sort of percussion consistantly throughout a song and different kinds as well. Good thing the transitions were easy to make and repetitive lol.

joe - i noticed the percussion and it made me wonder - i dont know if you do requests but would you ever consider a solo guitar version of more than words?

great job

It must be getting early, clocks are running late....

Paint by number morning sky looks so phony....

Dawn is breaking everywhere light a candle, curse the glare....

Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's all right....

Excellent sound Joe - and a really good musical performance as usual.

There's a small 6th string buzz at 0:50 but I'm sure you spotted that

I loved the percussion actually, felt it really added to the song. I love using it myself, but it always looks so natural to you!

Picky picky....GOSH! LOL. Yeah I just wasn't going to get hung up over it, I didn't think it detracted from the overall performance.

Thanks every one. Its quite fun to play! The percussion is slowly coming. I think Im going to try the Tommy P version of More Than Words give me a bit of a challange to work through as wells as working with some more percussion. At this point I have to do something that requires more than just finding the best fingerings. Its interesting because Im not a huge fan of percussion bit am kind of forcing it in order to become more versatile.

Correction the version I was thinking of was the Michael Chapdelaine version....took a listen and actually HATE that version, too much going on that takes a way from the music, so I'll just do my easy peasy version, at least the melody stands out. It's short and to the point though.
