In the Beginning, there was Jane's......

    I'm sorry, Pete, but I think you were a little bit off w/BCS. My old
band used to play it, but considered it too commercial to defame Jane's
by playing it live... broken into sections, this is how I play it...

intro/verse (there's A LOT of scruff in the verse)

have a blast w/it and remember, play it your way, and play it sloppy,
you can't be precise and scientific w/ Jane's and have it sound natural.
    If I'm wrong about this semi-transcription, feel free to blast me,
but keep in mind... have you ever seen two people play "Blackbird" the
same way...?
