Its funny this tune keeps coming up in discussion. I learned it (continue to work on it) after much discussion about it here. The funny thing to me is you get a general disagreement about the key and accompaniment depending on who you play with. I've played with folks who want to play it in straight G and those that play it in Gm. Some folks want to play it pretty quick and with a straight timing, some a little slower with the changing timing. Its a tune that really just changes based on your mood and approach. I like it in Gm and fairly laid back, like you're milking the notes.
