You know I tried that when David posted that but to me Open Chords just don't sound that great when distortion/overdrive is used. Plus I was always under the impression when using distortion/overdrive the 5th's can replace it's Open Chord equal and fit in perfectly? If I am only using a little overdrive (like in some of Angus Young's stuff on the Back In Black album) then open chords sound OK (well some of them do). As for my rendition of SOYL it very well may have been my lack of knowledge when it comes to mixing.
There is one other version of SOYL (or at least variations of it) that is played toward the upper part of the neck and they still use the same basic chords as this tab for the chorus (see below). Thanks for the input!

After posting this I did find ONE tab that uses A C G (However the C & G chords are Barre Chords):

Mike,
Sounds good. You've got a good sound there. I'd suggest adding a little vibrato on the 10th fret of G when you bend it.
Also, David and someone else were right with the open A chord.

Go to about 50 seconds, watch how clapton plays it.
Other than that though you sound great. I'd love to add in the solo if you want to make it some sort of team Maso (Mike/Taso) collab.
Let me know

I have tried "liking" it that way but it JUST doesn't sound right to me...however, if you look closely he is not playing the same chords as me either. It looks like Clapton is playing someting more like the 2nd tab I posted and not the first. That may be the reason why it doesn't sound good to me. I like the way I play it....it's easy, I am up and down the fretboard so the "Cool-Factor" is HIGH! 8) and it sounds good to me.

That would be AWESOME as long as you don't mind it staying the way it is. I would like to hear what you come up with!

Ok, I played over it a bit, got something recorded. The begining sounds like Clapton's but I improvised the rest...Its in WAV form, not mp3, my converter is apparently broken (I havn't recorded anything in a very long time)
How can I send it to you?
