Jackson, another great selection, thanks! It was the last single recorded with the Cricket and…you're right, it wasn never released as a single. Also, the missing words as sung by Buddy himself are…Look into your heart and see…what your love book has set apart for me. Thanks again…keep up the good work!
Thanks for the info Harry … yes I remember those lyrics … I actually sang this song with kids in my drama/music class They loved it!
when i saw "another buddy holly classic" in my email i thought it was gonna be "not fade away" since so many other bands covered it ,but "its so easy" is another great buddy holly song.
didn't someone else make a hit out of it in the 70's, linda ronstadt i think
Hi Jackson,thank you so much for your lessons,you are an inspiration! Thanks once again bill
You are most welcome Bill! Glad to provide a bit of that for you!
Thanks for the lesson, it's a fun song to play. A correction to the lyrics, it is "Where you're concerned, my heart has learned".
Apologize for that Stan. Sometimes I trust the lyrics sites on the Internet a bit too much.
It would be nice if you also write down the strumming pattern for beginners. For example:
Verse first line: D-D-DUD- D-DD-UD (up connects to the second line)
second line: D-D-DUD- D-D-D (-udu=connects strumming to the first line)
Bridge: ……
Thank you Magdalena. I appreciate the suggestion. The truth is I fully realize that the free lessons I created several years ago now were a little lacking in that department. Have a look at this video which is based on my premium site. I deal with strumming much more effectively and thoroughly. sale.songmentor.com
