youll like it , its just a different type of d chord.. rings real nice .. i like the way you do the intro... and the short instrumental part.. thanks + good luck
That's How I learned it Jimmy, It sounds better that way electric... however I like this sound for acoustic. So, subjective... but your the one singing it so doing what u like matters most.
You're supposed to slide from C to D! It's the song's hook, so you can't skip over it! Perhaps you think it's too tough for beginners, but it's not - it was Bill Berry (the drummer) who "wrote" that hook after all(by happy accident, the same way most hooks come about). It was one of the first songs I learned, and it wasn't hard to play (although, like most R.E.M. songs, it was hard to play well).
love your lessons would love it even more if you could strum some of your songs and maybe you could also give the strum pattern ie DDUUDU(D= DOWN STROKE U = UP STROKE AS YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW) Great lessons keep it up
I learned this different. After the first C - Slide the c shape down so that your index is on the 3rd fret. Its a lovely way of playing the D

during the verses strum the C chord .. keep timing and strumming smooth.. then slide the C chord shape , keeping it exactly the same up two frets..
