A short and slightly sloppy (a bit hungover, apologies in advance), tutorial on how to play this piece. Same breakdown, left hand chords, then right hand. He plays slight variations from performance to performance but this should give a solid starting point to work with. Take care!

  • how can u call this a tutorial, no way anyone will understand the chords except for maybe the c with added g

  • i tend to go a little fast through the parts, sorry about that, i'm trucking through the second parts to these where i go super slowly through each chord so hopefully they will be more helpful. take care

  • Could you please slow down the intro . There is a part right after the F with the added G# right before the G7 that you didn't explain. Please re post. Greatly appreciated.

  • You're a terrific human being for doing this. I've stared playing guitar specifically because of Elliott. Thanks.
