As many of you may know, David Hartley (UK) has been suffering from an illness for some time now. He still continues to work, but his condition leaves him tired.

I used to visit David every week and we would Jam together and I would learn so much.

I recently pulled out a tab of "Sweet Memories" that Davidput together.
I had forgotten the incredible detail he has gone to in showing every sigle note he plays in his version of this truly great song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2nKaY_u_IM

Even if the purpose is not to play what David played, note for note, there is much to learn about style and positioning etc.

Even if you don't want Tab, listen to the above link of David Playing "SWEET MEMORIES"

Me, I am going to spend a lot of time re-studying this TAB.

Kind Regards to all
