Has anyone ever encountered a song so simple yet for some reason you cant nail it.
Or maybe a transition into a different time signature that for the life of you cant seem to adjust to..
I am so frustrated right now this song is so simple yet the one part keeps giving me trouble its a simple transition yet I screw up every single time..
I swear sometimes easy songs are harder then harder songs.
OK end of my rant

For some reason I can't remember the changes. Ever.
Doesn't help I don't like the song either. |

Soooo simple, but as my first transcription, it wasn't too easy for me.  |

I just can't get that line. (not that I'm a Muse junkie or anything  )

In college we did Cage's 4'33". I had my part down, but was sharp the whole time. I should have used fretted.

Yes,
Johnny Cash's going to 'Jackson' always gets me.
Years later, I still gulp every time I see it on the set list.
