@OloIsNumba1 Agreed, this is a preview lesson. To be honest, if you have been doing your reasearch as a musician you shouod already know the chords...just this snippet of the video immensely helped my chord choice and strumming technique, more so than any other ten min vid i saw. great "preview", and nevermind the haters.

[plutarkosky]

thank you for this video, now I can play the guitar, piano and banjo with all this information, I am now leaving preggo chicks all over the place, they just can't resist my playing.

[musicman1296]

yes and please mention the tuning  not standard.

Sorry, just to clarify. The high notes are strummed UP, NOT DOWN. He strums the high notes up while plucking bass note with thumb, creates a very smooth sound. Not bashing you, just trying to help be more specific with sound. Cheers

[FabFourVideos]

Strumming is NOT correct. Not strummed down on the high strings, they are actually pinched with hand as he plucks bass note at the same time. Listen to it and hear what I mean. After playing it on record and a few LIVE Beatle concerts in 65, Paul strummed like you are here. But that was only 70's to today.

I covered this song by slowing it down just a tiny bit. Check it out, hopefully you like it. Cheers!
