I have always thought that this is one of the most fun songs I have ever heard. I learned this one just for the fun of it. It is out of my vocal range so I sang it down a step. I also had a little fun with the video.

As Neil said in the lesson for this song, the hinged bar chords on the 10th fret are really challenging. I also decided to add the top E string to most of the strumming because it added a degree of fullness with just one guitar.

Let me know what you think,

Bud



PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.

That was fun Buddy. And I liked the video treatment (the fading in and out). Maybe shake some maracas while you sing????

That is a great song to pick you up and get you in a better mood instantly. Makes sense taking it down a notch and it still sounds good like that. Difficult strumming so far up the neck but you really go it going Buddy. The strumming is pretty precise, maybe a lighter touch on the plectrum is the only thing that could improve it. Maybe add another layer of vocals? Nice video too!

Geez, you're getting that quite nicely! You got that sucker on the ropes! Very, impressive Buddy!
Such a lively, energetic...darn near relentless rhythm on this tune. (and those stretches...fugitaboutit!)
I'll bet having big hands really came handy for you on this one...
