Sweet Jane is one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar. Just after I graduated college.
So, a couple years ago I just had to record my own version.
On the version you just heard, I'm playing & singing everything. But, under it all is the acoustic guitar part I learned 48 years ago.
By The Way: this is the first version I ever heard of this song.
