My suggestion: "Heart full of holes" is one of my favourite from the KTGC record, which happens to be my favourite MK solo record. together with GL.
You might get lucky, now and then

I love this song soooooooooo much... I cry every time I hear it! Already tried that one, already know the chords, I'll do it in a series of Open G tuning songs.

Last time I got some negative comments about my singing, which is insane since there's as little emphasis on vocals in my lessons as it can be. But with that said, the best option after that, I thought, would be to do one of the hardest Mark's songs in that respect, the one he gave to Tina Turner, who can sing indeed. But not me. Thanks for watching!

The song №30 is Your Latest Trick. I promise more guitar songs and more recent songs in the future, but for now—a classic masterpiece with a lot of chords, unique jazz & bossa inspired rhythm and, of course, one of the most recognised saxophone lines ever. The riff is so strong people just can't resist to sing along to it on the shows. Thanks for watching!

I'm working on a website tweaking it here and there every day. Just added the "Keys" section for sorting out individual songs by its key. Just IMAGINE what this place will become once finished. So far it's less than ridiculous 15% complete and slowly, but surely grows.

I have bought a domain name "mksongbook.com" and when the website will grow to a certain degree I'll go ahead and buy a $100 annual subscription plan for the website to go live on a proper domain. Till then it's up by this link: http://mksongbook.tilda.ws

Without further ado I decided to launch the website mksongbook.com, because apart from being lazy I'm impatient, too. I said “lazy”, because I made a silent tour for it and there's not so many features and songs (yet), but I like it. All the videos are embedded, it's very useful. Of course, all the songs will be sorted out by album, name, difficulty level, capo and key signature. Funny, but initially all I wanted is to do a website like this, but for chords only. Luckily for me, things have changed!

The website gets better and better. Got around 50 new requests right away, it definitely helps to steer my decisions. Added "leave a message" functionality and made a dozen of other improvements (e.g., floating menu, buttons, rounded corners). By the way, 30 lessons already adds up to 6 hours of material. SIX HOURS. I can't believe it! Thanks for all the requests and thanks for watching. Pavel.

P.S. Looks like I'm going solo in this topic :lol

Thanks, this is the main reason why I feel uncomfortable about the whole thing. I wish I was born in some English-speaking country, but you got to work with what you have! Maybe in that respect it's even better to do it my way.

Thank you, too. I tried to do two new songs today, but failed completely, something isn't right in my life at the moment anyway, but I'm sure I'll overcome all these things!

Let's start the "second season" with something big. What about What It Is? It's funny, because this song is similar to the very first song that I took—Why Aye Man. Both have a similar call and response riff, a build up, quiet parts, both can be played with odd tunings and of course both was written by the happiest man in the world. I'd be happy too, if I wrote it!

Why Worry? It's been almost 1 year (just two days left) after I uploaded my first video for this little project. I'm not the one who expects fast results, but some achievements have been made — nearly 300,000 total views, 32 songs, 6 and a half hours worth of lessons, own website. Not bad for a hobby! Thanks to every one of you for an overwhelming support, I would never even imagine the amount of support I've received and still receive. All I want to say is — thanks for watching!

great job as always  :thumbsup
I love nd prefer the studio version : 3 guitars played by mark with a gorgeous tone
and it's in E

when you play it in D, arpeggios at the beggining of each verse sounds to much the same as if this is goodbye
