Thank you Tim for your comment. We greatly appreciate the encouragement. Currently, I am working on Lesson 2: Key of D Chords. In addition to teaching new chords, I will do a break down of my rhythm part for this song. Enjoy.

Keni, are you using the low E tuned down to D and the 2 smallest strings?

Man, Bill, Keni, those tunings, the song. That is some feel good stuff. Thanks.
