  • thanks goldhat for that im from the uk ive been playing that song for years but i could never work out that bit with the f chord, keep up the good work, could you do American tune next

  • I had the same idea. I have American Tune on my to do list.

  • Hi I am a 30 year old guy and live in Dorset in the United Kingdom. I would just like to say a big thank you, as you have helped me very much with my Guitar playing. I just love the way you make it all so understandable. I was almost about to give up Guitar, Until you came along.Please keep Keep up the fantastic work.Take Care

  • Glad to hear it. You will always enjoy being able to play a little guitar.

  • Why play with a Capo ?

    You could transpose your Progression by One note up instead.

    I think the Chords are D, A6, Bm and G for the Start.

  • That works too. I am showing how Paul Simon plays it.
