Bugger me if it's not the same chords as Something by George Harrison.

Oh come on now Tony - that would suggest that Bob's been "borrowing" ideas from other artists!

hi jim! you nailed explaining this one...as you do with all of your how to's if you ask me! so thanks again for another good one!! I finally got a chance to watch this the other day and I got all the chords down completely solid so im pretty excited about that. loving open D tuning again. im struggling a bit with figuring out the right strumming/picking pattern and then also coordinating the singing with the playing yet a bit yet of course. gonna keep at it of course. ill keep you posted!

Thanks Paul - Part 2 up now might help you sort it out; I hope so!

Good luck with it - I look forward to your version soon, but wait 'till you've seen Part 3 as some tips in it might come in handy...

Jim. In the FIFA world ranking of inspirational musical Tambourine Men, you are David Villa on the Spanish Ensemble. Keep on keeping on my friend. I know how to play this one already, but listening to and watching your vid, makes me want to re-learn it :)

Cheers Joe - just as long as I never play as badly as that Dad's Army apology for a "team" that got the runaround from Germany's Juniors - even when nervous, homesick, exhausted and overpaid............
