if you didn't completely butcher the lyrics, this would be perfect haha

thanks man! i was trying to learn this song by ear for awhile. first i figured out a way to play it with no capo in standard tuning then i found out about the kapo 6th fret by watching vids. I had a feeling it was in a different tuning because i was playing these chords the same way people on these vids were but it didnt sound right lol.. crap was driving me crazy!! but thank god you made this video... i almost gave up on learning it haha kudos!

Anyone got pointers on how best to do the chord at 2:12? I'm having trouble getting my ring finger on the 6th string 5th fret without muffling some of my bar. Thanks! Great Lesson!

How did you learn the chords? Only by listening to the songs/watching videos? Or do they have sheet music? Thanks a ton for posting this btw, VERY helpful.
