James thanks. I had to watch the video 19 times and slap myself in the face 11 times but I finally got it. Great song but ouch! Could you keep those weird cords posted through out the video?

Well that is where your problem is, I find being slapped in the face whilst playing guitar makes it tricky to play, especially if you are doing the slapping yourself (2 hands required for guitar). Sorry I can't overlay pictures onto video using Windows Movie maker (wish I could) so unfortunately I can't have the chords all teh way through. You could just open the video in a separate window and pause it where the chords diagrams are???

if u really want to do that i could edit it for you its not a hard task and it does really help

[Guznaks]

if u want the chords up all the time just open youtube 2 times and stop 1 video at the chords and lay it beside the guitar lesson, or just write them down yourself

great lesson btw :)
