    Awesome. I love all of the MJ and Stevie Wonder, but I have to say Bill Withers is the top for me out of those three. I love it. Nicely done! -John

    Excellent! Do I see a Bill Withers DVD in your future? I’d love to hear Use Me. Better yet, I’d love to learn a solo acoustic version.

    Rich – USE ME is not easy, the riff line stays the same, but the sung melody is just bluesy “stuff”…not sure how to translate that, but I will check it out again! – AR

    Adam, you’re probably right about Use Me being a difficult translation to acoustic. Always loved the song, especially the completely badass riff, but my ears never hear the notes sufficently to translate to my fingers. Of course, my limited talent is, well, limiting.

    Hi,

    Very nice arrangement of this song! Will you publish a guitar pro tab file for it?

    Thanks,
