No just a short clip of the major parts... I havent listened to the song in awhile so the rythym might be off.

it seems to me like you're holding the first chord of the hammer-on a bit too long, other than that it sounds great

edit: take that back, after listening to it again i don't think so. something does sound a little different though and i can't pinpoint it. it may be good just to give howie's version a quick listen to verify

Yep, He plays it a bit faster and more fluid, I hesitated it a bit.

Thanks...I need to post the chorus now.

Yeah, you sound pretty close. And your right about the hesitation. A couple more times you'll have it. Nice. BTW, where do you get your howie tabs from?

Never tried to play Africa. I play his 41 outro when I play #41. It's not exact but I use some of his chord chnages and sounds pretty cool. But let me not that I play the rest of the song accurately (usually the Luther edition) But live performances have been slim to none for me lately. I travel way too much for my job.

pretty cool man...im a big follower of howie..your cover is slower then his, like what has been said already, but a few more tries will get it down for ya...africa aint that hard to play..and day's cover of 41 is pretty darn good if you ask me...maybe ill throw it up there in the next couple of days..

IM actually not a fan of his #41 version...But I do dig his outro.
