    Thank you very much for the straightforward lesson for this Holly classic. I really appreciate your 'to the point' style with no affectations whatsoever. I've been listening to and playing Holly songs since he was alive. He is the Alpha of rock and roll.

    Man I just love this style of music! My mom was one of those flower power childs ...lol whatever it's called. Anyways born in 71 but growing up my mom would play all these tunes and more like 50's to late 60's and a wide variety, somehow I connected with Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, BB King, early Elvis and the list could go on and on, it just soothes my soul and puts me in my happy place.. so thank you for posting these. Great playing!

However, I will take your suggestion and do it next on my channel, as there is not much out there on the song.

      The first A chord... is it just a standard open A?

      Yes, it's a standard A chord, I just have my fingers in a different order so ir's easier to squeeze the fingers in the second fret. It's also easier to change to D. BTW this is also how Buddy played the A.
