This has been a terrific set of tutorials. Great way to wrap it up, Thank you!

I've had a lot of challenges trying to do this song. Although it's a song I've heard, it's not one that I have naturally so I tried to listen to the original a lot to figure it out. The toughest part for me was not knowing how many measures he stays on the different shuffles. I've gone through on mine and added the ones he does twice and I believe the longer F shuffles in the later verses are 4x. I was confused about what to do with the E5s until I looked up other tabs and realized that the original is done in E. That half-step on the old recording was too subtle for my ears to pick up but realizing those were also Fs helped a lot but, Tyler, I wanted you to know that your tabs had that error. If you do fix it, I recommend adding x2 and x4 to the shuffles that are repeated to make it easier. I feel self-conscious calling these parts out, know that you've done such an awesome job with all your songs, I think you're amazing! Thanks!

Thank you very much Gabe! This one was tricky for me to get done too. He is all over the place and can be tricky to follow, 12 bar, not Robert! He will do 13 just because. 4/4? Why not 5/4 then 3/4 then 4/4! He didn't like rules and music is better for it.
