Thank you so much for this! It's so gratifying to be able to do!

BUT... I wonder if you might take a moment to tell me again what you were doing again on the 2nd to last phrase? On the 17th fret. I wasn't clear on where you were putting your fingers.

THANKYOU!

Ya know, it's the first time I've ever learned to play a song, and was actually able to play it, in under an hour. You're a fantastic teacher, and triple thanks for this. :-)

[d2majzoub]

This is lovely. Do you have tabs for this? I like to see it and hear it when I'm learning a new song. Anyway, thanks so much for making this wonderful vid. Thumbs up to you.

Yet another cracking lesson from the internets greatest teacher, in my humble opinion. You are, as always, my inspiration. Glenn, Yorkshire, England.
