Chords in this song:
D
XX0232
G
3X0003
or
320003
A7
X02020
**The CHORD NOTATION SYSTEM I use below works as follows:
There are six numbers each representing a string.
The leftmost number represents the LOW E string and the rightmost the HIGH E string.
A “0” indicates to play the string open (unfretted)
A number (such as “1”, “2”, “3”, etc…) indicates to place a finger on and hold down that fret. "X" means don't play or mute.

[@BDBD05]

Dude!! You forgot to give singing credits of the song to the great Calypso King, Harry Belafonte!!

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

His name is in the description toward the bottom. His version is classic!

[@BDBD05]

@@JohnHenrySheridan Ahh...My apologies then🙂

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

@@BDBD05 Np! I love when people actively give artists, musicians and creators credit where it's due! Good looking out. I'm sure Mr. Belafonte would be happy that people are looking out for him. :)

@@Johnhenryguitarlessons would you mind making some lessons on fingerstyle guitar playing Mr. Henry? And another one on What A Wonderful World?

[@Johnhenryguitarlessons]

Hello Debmalya, thanks for your interest in my guitar teaching! This is a link to some finger style lessons that I've posted: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z32rqZmZi9eMf9k Hope it can be of some help. I will keep in mind your request for some more finger style lessons down the line ... although I apologize if I cannot get to them in a timely manner.

[@Johnhenryguitarlessons]

And I just searched KZbin for finger style lessons for "What a Wonderful World"... it looks like there are so many good lessons on this song already. I like this guy (although the video quality is a bit low, his arrangements are generally beautiful) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJrNaq2ih6ulapI

You’re making it too complicated. You’re spending too much time explaining how to make simple course. It’s supposed to be simple correct? Please just get to it
