In this lesson I slow down the intro and talk about how to establish a good feel for the bass and its role in keeping everything together. We are working on the foundation so that we can build a better house! I hope you enjoy it.

@Peter Wolf...the chords are G / G7 / C / G / E / A7 / D / G then walkdown/turnaround...let me know how that works....
@Peter Wolf ,thank you .
For the life of me I could not understand the bit G/E A/D it was the D that I couldnt get my brain around ,IT's a D7 with the F# in the bass now my fingers work they kept tangling up at that cord in the tab its just 2 string,All learning together,
Cheers Dave
Hi Corey's, I'm watching your hands
It looks like you are just fretting normal open chords, and picking individual string in rhythm (with walkdowns the first Gs)
The chord sequence for a verse seems to be
G D
G D
G G7
C C
G/E A/D
Turnaround G
Is that correct?
oh oh Corey...you look really in a good shape!!! ;)))
Thanks for teaching this tune...It's stimulating...I'm studyin hard in this period for a public competion to work in the administration of University of Bologna (the oldest in the world) but I'm still following your lesson...I hope to upload a video soon!! :))
