Ride The Ride I find this song a bit tricky, but it carries so much emotion it is worth the work to make up an arrangement of it. the recording makes heavy use of piano with electric guitar embellishments, so this acoustic version attempts to capture the feel of those instruments. You really do not need the fancy E and F#m7 chords, but the forms here do give the song the feel of the original. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who gives this a try. I tend to submit stuff from rather obscure artists and I oftenwonder if anyone else actually enjoys playing it.
