Thank you Jimmy, Rest in peace. May the breeze be ever in your sails.

I've watched a few different peoples' vids trying to pick this up, and the other people were fine teachers but you have really laid everything out in a super comprehensive way and I've got the whole song organized now. Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for watching and for the kind words. You are very welcome.

Thanks Nate! I love this song and was glad to come across this lesson. I took snips of the chord progressions and saved it in a Word document so I can work on some of the pieces offline. I managed to play through the full song along with the video. Just need to get the strumming pattern down a little better. 🎸

Cool Greg. I'd like to hear it once you have it where you like it.

Captain quack loves all buffet songs wish we could have played one I wrote a song but never sent it to you sail on

So do I play the intro lick, then the 5 bar intro chords and then the verse? Sorry a little confused here,,,

[@TheGuitarFam]

No problem. The intro lick is three measures long (plus a little bit of the next measure.) I’d play the lick for those three measures and then strum a D chord for two more measures before starting the first verse.

[@kennethleeeyre9827]

Ok. But what I meant was that you say the intro is 5 measures, D-G-A-D-D and then the verse and singing begins. But is this instead of the intro lick? Or do you play the lick followed by the five bars of strumming and then the verse begins? Love your lesson this is the only part that confuses me. Thanks!@@TheGuitarFam

@@kennethleeeyre9827 The lick is played over the 5 measures of intro chords. If you are playing by yourself, you have to kind of make judgment call if you want to hear the riff or the chord progression
