No, Mike. This is not a joke.

So often you talk about the "hook". Well, ole Sebastian here really was a master of the hook. As simple as it is, the melody comes in and repeats with the most gentle and emotive hooks.

I love the ascending and descending bass lines underneath the melody and would love to ride along with my guitar (not classical). How simple the dynamics are, but really add to the emotional content.

After 30 some years of noodling around on the guitar, I am going back to the basics with your instruction and getting an understanding of how music theory can actually be the saving grace of my attempts to play along with music (of all genres). Oh, how intimidating the term "music theory" was.

Can you take on this piece?

Best, Richard Dorbin
