    I have a friend who has only three fingers on his left hand, and he plays the guitar better than me! It's amazing! He misses, the index and the middle fingers! He is left handed! Don't give up guys! Practice, practice, practice.......etc... and you"ll make it!

    Its cool how you can see the person with the camera reflected in the glossy finish of the guitar's headstock. For you nice folks having trouble with A to B min chord change...practice only that change. See how many times you do it in 60 seconds. Keep repeating that drill for that change, and you'll find it becomes easier. It will take a few days of this to get it. Practice and don't give up.

    What an epic song with deep meaning from a time when things felt so different. It's good to see you keep it slow. I always wind up pushing and rushing it through. Something I hear in the song and I do different is with both E chords, I hear the revolving melody line during those chords as well. And when playing alone, It's better to play them rather than leaving them implied (IMO). So on the Esus4 to EMaj and then parts, for 3, reach up with your pinky and hit the F# on the 4th string and then for 4, resolve on The EMaj again. With the Emin part, 2 has the pinky on the 4th fret of the second string, 3 has the third on the 2nd fret of the 1st string and then 4 resolves back on the Emin. So the walking continues throughout the parts where it is heard. Hopefully, you hear it too and agree. Now to find someone who can sing the Yoko part! LOL Keep bringing it!

    Cool , kind of thought the Time signature was 6/8 wish I could leave out that second strum , it's there in my head.
    I do add the F# at the last of the E chord.
    Been learning the seasonal song over a month,
    In most list this song come in the top ten.
    The Eagles and U2 Xmas songs make most top ten list..
    Cool

    JVS...forget about the 6th and 5th strings (E and A) and just play the standard Bm configuration on the first 4 strings (strum), then lift the middle finger (strum), then life the index finger (strum), the play the Bm configuration again...4 configs in all.

    it's in 12/8...with sus 2 ..add9 major and minor...but everybody it's a simple song...nice lesson..but darn I wish Teachers wouldn;t use the term "Easy"...especially when this song ISN'T for anyone who's just a beginner

    Yeah I could really take a few more drumming lesson.. 3/4 speed up is how I look at 6/8 when I hear 12/8,
    I think cool old blues.shuffle feel,
    Seems you can count one two over and over as a guitarist and stay in time.
    Merry Christmas to you .

    Really informative and you’re HONESTLY a much better guitar player than me as you obviously have so much more experience but I must say this. If you’d just focused more on the chords themselves, it would’ve been alittle easier and not so drawn out. The guitar pattern you can pretty much pick up from hearing the song but the chords are the trickier part
    Nice video though still helped

    Dang, I always get stuck when a song has a bar chord :/ Such a shame, this is a really beautiful song and I'd love to be able to bust it out around the holidays when I'm feeling it.
    Those bar chords are impossible for me, though. I felt the same way when I was 12 trying to play Guitar Hero on hard mode (lol). "6 buttons? That's impossible, I only have 5 fingers!"
