Have to say that is a good way to teach the song. I played this song back in the 60's when it actually came out, but I haven't picked up a guitar in 48 years. Whipped right through fundamentals 1 in 5 days and now slowing down to focus on Fundamentals 2 and then move on to Blues. Having said that, I used to play this with the A minor then e and then e7th. Is that wrong? Also on your strumming, I just arpeggiate down from fifth string down and then three up for all the chords as part of the intro, and then strum the rest of the song. Great lesson, thanks for the reminder from an old timer. I am 64 in March. Watched your entire lesson as a preview and then will work on mastering it tomorrow. Hopefully a couple hours and I'll have it down again. Thanks Mike!!
