Goddamn, your guitar arrangements are spot on. What are those chords?

[SofaCitySweetheart]

@Strizz484 Thanks! I've gotten a few requests about this, so I'll post a tutorial soon. Until then, there are a lot of good tabs on surfermoon (do a Google search, YouTube won't let me post the link here.) They pretty much have every Beach Boys song ever on that site... amazing!

@Strizz484 Tutorial is up, complete with chord symbols in the annotations. Enjoy!

Can you do a tutorial video for this?

[SofaCitySweetheart]

@Tjpbeatles92 Hmm, yes, I can try. Which part do you need help with? It might require two separate videos if you want to learn about all the pedal stuff too...

[SofaCitySweetheart]

@Tjpbeatles92 I uploaded a tutorial the other day, and finally wrote out all the chords in the annotations. ENJOY!

I'm probably one of the foremost Beach Boys experts in W. Europe, and I say well attempted young sir!!

[deadleafecho]

Love, love, love how you interpreted the ending. Beautiful!

[Tjpbeatles92]

@SofaCitySweetheart I just would like to learn how to do the chords and the strumming pattern. I don't have any pedals (that I use, the one I have is terrrible)

[JuxtaposeMystery]

This is like "A Third of Beethoven". There are some songs you don't ever cover by strumming a guitar, and The Beach Boys catalog is full of them.
