I/ve watched upwards of 8-10 instructional videos on this song, some by very well-known KZbin guitar instructors/players. Most merely mention the strumming pattern(s). Only one other stressed the importance of timing. James' took it to another level with a very clear step-by-step explanation. Superb!

[@philbobzien4382]

I am glad I finally got around to learning this song, after about 4 or 5 practice sessions I realized this is easier than I thought, the instruction is spot on. Thanks James, --(its hard to believe this song will be 50 yrs old in 2025 !)

[@sfg131]

Excellent lesson! You're a very good teacher. Thank you.

[@HaccasDave]

[@gregpendleton4957]

Fantastic lesson you are a great teacher.

[@erikaoconnor7793]

Great lesson and SO helpful on the strumming pattern. I’m learning ukulele so the chord shapes are different but I can still follow along for the strumming and play the uke version of the chords.

[@MusicManFernando]

Great lesson, thanks.

Dig the shirt

[@markstrain8989]

oh holy moly 🎉😅😊

[@husseinsleem889]

This is amazing. Can I play Cmaj7 instead of C in the verse chords ?

[@Good_Guitarist]

Hey Hussein, glad it was helpful. Yes definitely you can do that.

[@nirmalamarak9386]

👌

[@starvideoproduction2045]

Okay, lyrics are easy to memorize. why do I have serious issues memorizing the chord progression? It keeps switching on the verse, it's not like a standard 4/4 rock song and the timing is freaking weird. Or am I just dumb?

[@Good_Guitarist]

Here to say you're not dumb but could use a little memory trick to make your fingers do the right thing at the right time. Fingers have memory too, it takes a lot of practice and time. Practice the sections separately and repeatedly.

[@Tannant65]

Tab ?

[@tatjanalutz1]

Yes it would be great if the tabs could be added. Its a great lesson! Thank you for it
