Eye of the Tiger – Survivor

Featuring in the film 1982 Rocky III, “Eye of the Tiger” has become a well-known classic rock track which has been covered and parodied numerous times!

A fun challenge for beginners, I’m really enjoying playing this one! More 80’s rock is due I think – happy practice 🙂
