If you can't find sheet music, play those chords about 100 times along with the video. It will come together for you eventually.

I can't legally write out lyrics. Play these chords as you listen to the video.
You may need to write out the lyrics and jot each chord (preferably
in red) over the word where the chord hits.
Happy picking,

A lead guitar buddy of mine absolutely revered a guitar teacher in New Orleans who showed him exercises in each key that, with enough practice, enabled him to play anything that came into his mind.

Re: How can I arranging a set list? (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Wolfgang17, I would think so. You may first select an opener - something that will impress and get the party kicked of in a pleasing direction. After that, entertaining is similar to a seduction. You select songs that give emotional rise and falls for your audience to an inevitable climax and beyond. Then a restful or carefree spell until the seduction begins again.
I select from my fat book of over 400 songs, a power set for the young ones, traditional romance for the Metrical for lunch bunch and light comedy for those who would rather be entertained than compelled to dance.
You must control the evening's pace and passions. If you get it right, a wonderfully fulfilling gig happens.

Re: Giving sis a guitar (17 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
My lovely niece graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music majoring in voice. She sings a fabulous lilting soprano that makes dudes by the hundreds fall in love with her. She minored in piano and plays well enough to hold down a regular church gig as choir director and pianist. She also teaches voice. There is the problem.
When she left for college, I gave her an old classical guitar good enough to learn basics on. It hurt her fingers so she gave it away.
These days she travels to student's homes to teach voice. Few of her students have a decent piano so NOW she sees the need for a nice portable guitar. Her mom gave her a Ibanez acoustic that plays and sounds fine. I restrung it and lowered her bridge for her.She now plays decent rhythm guitar and plays and sings for us when she visits at Christmas.
I haven't said, "I told you so" but Lord, I just love it when I'm right.

You are most welcome Neil. I had the pleasure to visit your wonderful country. I was treated so well by all. My wife's best friend still lives in Auckland. Ran into a backwards hurricane (cyclone) in your Hauraki ? (spelling) Gulf while sailing. Got back O.K.
I did bungee jump at Skippers Canyon. Enjoyed that but I'll never do it again.

Re: Effects Pedals? (32 replies, posted in Electric)
Back in '89 I bought a Korg effects pedal. It has 60 different effects and I can write 60 more. My 1960 Gibson sounds great using each effect. I play through the selection using different licks to get the most fun out of each effect.
Gigging, I have a number in red ink written on each song page to recall the effect I selected for it. It really helps change up the sound for a single song guy act. If I wasn't retired, I would add a wah-wah pedal, a volume control pedal and a looper.
I did splurge on a vocal harmonizer. I try not to use it too much.

If it's a Baby Taylor, the neck will likely break. I took my Yamaha Dreadnought sailing too often. The under bridge pickup ceased to function.
We chartered twice in the Virgins. Liked Yost Van Dyke, The Baths and Virgin Gorda.
