What are the chords you are using while going up the neck from a D are you using standard D shape? thecowboysheart@yahoo.com

[privettricker]

@thecowboysheart The walk-up starts in a regular D, then the rest are with the G string open: B string 3rd fret/G string 5th fret, then move that up two frets, then it ends on B string 10th fret/E string 12th fret.

looks like a hand full

[privettricker]

@jeferstrings It's really just a handful of parts repeated over and over. Like most pop songs!

Thanks for the video on Rocky Mountain High. I learned it your way and just changed a few small things to make it easier for me to play and sing too. Anyway, thanks for the video it helped me a lot.

@harrellbugg Yeah -- being able to play it, and being able to play it WHILE SINGING are two entirely different things. I've never had trouble singing harmony while playing, but for some reason, I have difficulty singing lead melodies while playing.

Hey, Excellent job! I've wanted to know how to pick this song for years now, and I'm just gettin' round to it. I was on the right track off the cuff by ear, but thought I'd speed up the process and look for tutorials on it. I believe you got it, chap! Thanks! Keep strummin' and pickin'... :)
