We play this with a capo at 7th fret, therefore the chords become D, G, A and E7 for most of the song. I highly recommend strumming these basic chords along to the recording (youtube video below) before trying the technical bits - have a strum and a sing first like George does in the live video below.

Then take your time learning the intro picking as I demo in the video, which kind of sounds like fingerstyle but is actually picked, a technique known as Flat Picking.

Wonderful song - all the best with it!

  • @alang1099
    I’ve tried to learn this for AGES! Most lessons I’ve seen are rubbish and confusing, or just poor. Finally getting somewhere with Andy’s guidance! Not there yet but it’s recognisable now! Thanks for excellent tutelage!
  • @Eynis1D
    Thank you Andy! You can't even imagine how happy you made me with this video! I have always loved this song! Now I am just beginning to learn how to play guitar thanks to your beginner course; I'm at the 8th day, and seeing how far I've come since the first day, makes me soo happy. I want to thank you for all the dedication you put into your videos and your teaching! I can't wait to come back to this video once I'll be good enough to play it!

    Excellent session Andy, with your help I think I finally have it nailed, after over 50 years listening to this classic song. You,my friend are an excellent teacher. I should know,as I have spent over 50 years teaching.
  • @HiHi-il5zl

  • @gtchaz
    As usual a great tutorial Andy !! Your lessons (Youtube and your website) have brought on my playing in leaps and bounds !! I have only been playing for about 1 year - but your excellent teaching style has made learning so much more fun. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put in.
  • @skaybaltimore
    Thanks! I've been waiting at least 45 years to learn how to really play this tune.
  • @EinarHagen

    There’s no guitar teacher on YouTube better than you sir. You explain everything incredibly well. Cheers!!
  • Wonderful lesson Sir! This is the first time I see some of your videos. Very detailed and keep it interesting. Great job.
  • @opelstu
    Gotta be one of my all time favourites and I like a lot.
  • Wow so few comments Andy? Really loving this was keeping my wife up just playing the start just before bed. I know my mission tomorrow! Thanks Andy you always make songs so accessible by starting easy and building up to all the embellishments.
