Keep at it, in the words of the late Jimmy Valvano "Don't give up, don't ever give up"

[weirimpressed]

why dont you get a band first then start learning the song together? lol

either way

[High Peaks]

Ya, find a band first. If you learn it note for note, then find playing mates, i think you would be frustrated trying to play it then!!! Just my .02

[Sugar]

Uncle John's Band is such a beatiful song. I never get tired of it.

But I suppose you aren't anywhere near Vancouver BC

I love the 7/4 time sig on the Dm jam at the end.
Here's a good one (play with the L/R balance for interesting lead/background vocal mix):

I'm really diggin' the UJB on the 11-11-73 show from the Winterland release. Very well done indeed. The '77 versions are also about as smooth as they get.
