Thanks Mike another great lesson. I just came across this one must have missed it when you first posted it this makes it so simple. Keep up the great work.
Home run, Mike! In my opinion as a massive George Harrison fan, this great song is a masterpiece and tremendously underrated! I play it in a different key, but I’m going to give this a try! I appreciate all you do for hackers like me!
I play a basic version of it on piano, Gene, but I haven’t tried to transfer to guitar. I’ll tinker around and see if it works out. I was playing around with Live and Let Die the other day, as well. Thanks for the question!
@@campfire_guitar_lessons I have seen a simple version for guitar, but it’s in Paul’s original key. Most of us guys can’t hit those notes in the chorus!!!
@@gzackerman Same for this old crooner! If I lower it to start in G, rather than Bb, it may be doable. The challenge will be chord complexity in the chorus. I’m out of town and away from a guitar at the moment, so I’ll try it out in a few days. I’m in Las Vegas to see U2 play at the new venue called The Sphere. Looks to be the most incredible venue on earth to see a concert. Check out some of the in concert videos on TH-cam. Amazing!

Ah there is another artist really missed by us all.
Very much so, DW! As time passes, his genius is further revealed.
Mike, have you ever explored a version of Maybe I’m Amazed that fits your voice?

@@campfire_guitar_lessons I’ve heard that The Edge is a reasonable guy. He might have an extra axe sitting around somewhere!

Isn't it the truth...for once.
