Learn how to play Waiting on a Friend, as performed by The Rolling Sones released on their 1981 Tattoo You album. The song apparently was recorded with Mick Taylor on guitar back in the early 70s during their Goats Head Soup album sessions, but they held it until Tattoo You adding amazing saxophone into it by the great Sonny Rollins.
The lesson covers the guitar parts played by Mick Taylor, the lead approach by Sonny Rollins, where you can play those parts on guitar. His parts are tabbed out for guitar for my patreon members.
