Displaying all reviews (3)I play it as a ballad. Written very nicely for that style. Great chords
William_J_Quinn
I have to say for The Boys of Summer composition the notes were definently not all there. The composition itself starts out on the down falling notes instead of the guitar part that we all know and love. To make matters worse there are no other versions of that song to try to make it better. For the most part though the rest of the composition sticks to the original song fairly well.
