It's a lot easier if you use the A,D, and G strings instead of the E,A, and D. That way you won't have to awkwardly shift up so far. On the acoustic guitar, there's no need to shift up all the way to the 12th fret; it's not an electric.
Jeeze, my bad. I knew there was no such thing as an E#, but all charts to go past the 12th fret! And after 5 years I stopped taking lessons and self taught myself... maybe I should go back. But, obviously you know more then me (it seems)... so why are you watching this video??
By the way, there is such thing as an E#, they're called enharmonics. Maybe you should get a little more into that music theory before you go bashing on Miss SillyLili for stating an F chord in an extraordinary way. (:
of course there is a chord named E# !! like in C# you have a E# and a F#, so you can't use a normal F. it's also to show harmonic when it's written. don't know if you understand, what i'm trying to say because im just learning english.
@countrybabe121892 I just want to point out to you there IS such a thing as E#. Yes, you are correct that is the same note as a F natural but in some cases it has to be a E#. Such as if you are playing in a key with a F# already in it (such as G), and you need to play a F natural and a F# in the same measure, you can make the E into an E#. This, my dear, is a magical thing called an accidental. And only lasts till the end of a measure. I'm afraid your the one who needs to learn some music.
@gknopp1 actually yeah. Cat Power did a cover on it. The song "Sea of Love" Is on her record called "The Covers Record" I think everyone just supposes it's a cover since it's not a secret or anything. Cat Power has talent, she's an amazing singer, and i don't think people really notice. :)
im pretty sure in the description/video it says BAR chords. if not, that's what i meant. I'm not playing with power chords, they're completely different from a bar chords.
AAAaaah!!1 yay! Thank you so much Lili! I just came back to Santa Cruz and there's no guitar here (well there are probably hundreds but none mine lol) so once I get back home I'll definitely start practicing! I just can't seem to teach myself ANYTHING on guitar this is loads helpful! -Cynthia

There is no such thing as an E#. Technically it would be just an F. Learn some music.

i know what bar chords are.
i didn't pass the :40 mark of your video because i didn't like the way it sounded..which to my ears and sight,were like power chords.

what's the interest of posting a "how to play" vid if it's with other chords!?!?
And where is the chorus?
Cat power doesn't sing the chorus?
