  • is it 6+7 3rd and 4th , 7+8 3rd and 4th, then 6+7 3rd and 4th twice? I know I am being dense, but it just dosnee sound right! thanks x

  • @ceridawn What part are you referring to, my dear?

  • @ceridawn You've got the second chord revered (you write "7+8 3rd and 4th"). It's actually 7th fret of the 4th string, 8th fret of the 3rd string there. The third chord (you write "6+7 3rd and 4th") you press the 7th fret of the 4th string and 3rd string. The verse in tab form now: first chord - x07600, second chord - x07800, third chord - x07700. I thought it was clear in the video though, no? Anyway, hope that was helpful, dear.

  • welcome back to my bedroom dear! x

  • @ceridawn But you didn't even buy me a drink yet!

  • I have a question. About 6:50 in, that whole thing on the 3rd string. Am I correct in thinking it's 9th fret, 7th fret, 6th fret, 7th fret? If so, why is the last note using the ring finger and not the middle?

  • Thanks for the tutorial Warren!
