claramsoares :

very nice your lessons! Thanks

raybeegood :

Straight forward, good detail, everything you need to play this song and i have won a few low key competitions (30 or so entrants) including this song in my set. I prefer a slightly lighter touch but thats nothing to do with this excellent tutorial. Good stuff..

educationalmaterials :

You could strum but I am picking the notes in that chord, on the D you pick all the strings, on the G you have to skip 2 strings.

DrBloodbasz :

When you play the D, G, and pretty much every chord do you start on that chord and then just strum down from there?

THanks and please do, tell all your friends also!!!!
