Anyway, that's how I've done here which makes a few of the chordsmore playable ( at least the way I've transcribed it- email me with anyalternative suggestions.) Use a clean sound, neck pickup, some reverb etc.Also, if anybody has some on that harp arpeggio around 1:10, please advise.Ken Temple(ktemple@idt.net)MANHATTANEric Johnson/ Venus
