Thanks RTZ! I'll be rakin' soon. The strings might slow me down a bit!

LOL Jim! Good thing the CBG policed are preoccupied at the local coffee shop.

Thanks Derek. This has way more chords than are allowed by the CBG police.

I'll try that Erasmo.

Thanks Richard. I won't be responsible for any injuries incurred while attempting this.

Pretty song even when your teaching Jim! I inherited short stubby fingers ( no comment UJ) ha!, and my pinky finger curves in. This song puts me in traction. The GMaj7 chord puts me on disability. I have a lot more range with 3 & 4 string guitars, and with a slide on my pinky, I can cover pretty good range. Excellent video Jim!
