Save it for Later - English Beat - Guitar - Standard Tuning

There's a lot of interest in how to play Save It for Later by the English Beat. That's because the original uses a highly unusual guitar tuning (D-A-D-A-A-D). Here's how I try to play the song using standard guitar tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E). The main chords are D(addE) / A(C#) / G(addE)

This guy doesn't want us to see how to play it for some reason.

Is there any chance you know the chords to I Confess? The chorus has been bugging me for awhile and these videos of yours are a great help. Cheers.

Hey ... it's 10 mos on and I just noticed this comment. Sorry - I guess I missed it when you posted it. I do know those chords. I'll see what I can do for you.

what amazes me about ,you tube, is the endless stream of "no talents" who think that their musical contribution might in some way enhance someones life. thats a lie. it might enhance the life of the sender,but it only depresses mine. stop the noise. go back to school. give up the guitar!

that was good man. do you think there could be a second layer with a guitar on the open tuning or is it a different key?

Thanks for the update. Cheers! :)

I recently added a video that shows the fingerings from a better angle.

man you don't need software to write tab! - nice playing though

It took a few replays to get this down. Thanks. Just have the camera straight on your left hand to see the fingering. Much easier to pick up.
