I am hosting the SOTM for February 2025, "I'll Close My Eyes" by Billy Reid.


Here are a few examples:

Here are backing tracks and lead sheets provided by Nigeld. The song can be played slowly as a ballad, or not.



Hope you have fun with this one!
 
I read this songs chord structure is the same as or similar to "There Will Never Be Another You". Here is my slower version, with better sound (moved the mic closer.)

I would love to be able to play like that--eventually. I'm brand new to the instrument and so am just getting familiar with the basics-scales, etc. You set a great example of what can be done with the instrument. Thanks for sharing!
