...learning for young guitar players.
By the time I started playing guitar, the song was 6 or 7 years old & I felt I needed to know it, too!
The vocal on this is excellent.
And, it's not just me who thinks this was a must learn
I found this on Wikipedia.

The first movement opens with an electric guitar riff from Farner, which aspiring young guitarists of the time learned to imitate.[3] This soon changes into a strummed acoustic guitar paired with a distinctive lead bass line
Emphasis mine.

But so many other of my favorite songs have gotten the same treatment that I hardly even notice anymore. And THAT'S a shame smh.
