Wow!. It's been like 25 years since I played that one!. I guess it sounds right, but I always played it the way Croce did!. In E!. Without a recoding to listen to and my guitar in hand it's hard to determine if it right!. But from what I can piece together in my head of the chord progressions it look ok!. Might just sound way off because it in such a different key!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Try note substitution and subtraction!. What you add or leave out could improve the sound!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
