Like the chucking…It’s nice to learn strumming techniques like this to make a song more interesting.

[@randymcneill4455]

Hey Ellen. Another bit of music trivia for you. The song was written because Peter Buck was trying to learn to play the mandolin and was becoming frustrated.

[@mickymc30]

Totally agree, playing that last chorus with the walk up bass line is so fun for some reason! 🙌 Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@Ninnoization]

Why did i get no notification or any videos from you in ages.

[@for3v3rfaithful]

I think it's the new algorithm... 😕 I won't show up on your homepage anymore unless you've recently watched one of my videos. 🥲 But if you turn on that bell notification (and click "all") for my channel, they'll start putting my videos on your homepage again! 🥰 Anyway, thanks for coming back! 💕

[@johndouglas3559]

Hi Ellen do you keep rhythm by tapping your foot

[@shaunabloom6088]
