    This track reminds pretty much to Eric Claptons song " Old Love " - but still the main thing what you can learn is to become a much more expressive guitar player by using dynamic shifts and motions with a cool tube distortion. The setting with only bass drums and guitar reminds to Rory Gallagher.
