I Won't Back Down

Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne 1998
22 1/2 inch. Cohiba 4 string.
I can't play guitar right now so this is a recording I did a few weeks ago the pictures I had on my P.C.
I use this type of strum pattern when I'm having trouble I should be back to my normal soon.
Just as I'm writing this Brian Williams is reporting that Lynne and Petty won a law suit against Sam Smith for the song "Stand By Me" lifted from " I Won't Back " Lynne and Petty will now get writing credit. How weird.

Comment by James O Lunsford on January 27, 2015 at 4:16am: Fine Job RTZ Hope You Get Better Soon I Know It's Hard not to be able to do the things You Love wishing You the Best Man

Comment by Jim Morris on January 27, 2015 at 2:51am: Good job on this RTZ. Hope you get back in full form soon. Yeah the Sam Smith song "Stay With Me" is Grammy nominated so now I guess Tom and Jeff might pick up a default Grammy. If George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" can sound like "He's So Fine" by the Shirelles then I guess these two songs are similar enough. Good thing I'll never have a hit 'cause I guarantee I stole my ideas from somebody!

Comment by Clock The Wolf on January 26, 2015 at 5:58pm: RTZKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Uncle John on January 26, 2015 at 3:26pm: One of the great songs. Well done. Simple worked well. I hope the hands or body are soon back to full capacity.
