Fantastic easy lesson for a very hard song, top e sounds like copy though, but I speak Texan lol and I'm hard of hearing great job this probably my tenth different lesson but it is the best

[endistherenown]

Great tutorial sounds just like Mark. The only thing that would improve it is if you went a bit slower so the student had time to process the chords and rythym

Way too fast to follow without continously pausing
