Huh

Really hard to believe that somebody would take exception to how the guitar is, or is not, being played. I'm surprised that somebody hasn't mentioned that Johnny isn't playing the bass, drums or lead guitar either - but they're obviously there too. Just be happy that kids are/were being exposed to all this "real" music.

I know at 1:42 he plays with no hands, but I think it's the recording of the guitar with the background only and Johnny singing live so he doesn't have to really play his guitar.

1:28 I love Biffs reaction when he realizes he's gotta get moving.

Re the chords; first verse is in A, second verse is in C, third verse is D, and the last verse in in E. Hope this helps.

re: the chords?

He is changing key with the start of every verse. Likely to represent the rising water but I won't speak for Mr. Cash

It is 24 years later - and I am only NOW discovering where the sample came from for De La Soul's first album! (It's in the middle of "3 is the magic number.") Wow!
