Hi and welcome to the forum.

I searched for the chords but no joy.  The song doesn't sound too difficult and I could probably pick out the chords for you, but I won't spend time on it if you no longer need them.

If you still need them, shout back and I'll see what I can do.

Yep.  One of my favorite bands.  I still like the old "trivia" question:

Q:  Who was the bass player for the Doors?

A:  Ray Manzarek's left hand.

Not quite.

As per above, "no3" means play a power chord (1 and 5 only).

"sus" means to SUSpend the 3 in favor of the 2 (for sus2) or the 4 (for sus4).

Basic chord structures:

Major triad:  1-3-5
Power chord (aka no3):  1-5
sus2:  1-2-5
sus4 (aka "sus"):  1-4-5
Minor triad:  1-b3-5

That's an excellent solo cover.  Well done, dude!

rakuX2:  My advice?  Play it just like that.

I just learned a few days ago that Ringo is Walsh's brother-in-law.  (Walsh married Barbara Bach's sister.)

But there is an old saying:  Beware the man who only has ONE gun, because he probably knows how to use it very well.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

If you're in a band, you are probably a much better guitar player than I am, and as such, you can watch what another guitar player does (by counting fret/finger placement and observing technique) and mimic it.

With that in mind, I found a live video of the band playing the song you asked for, and luckily the videographer got a lot of tight shots of the gutar player's fretting hand.  I recommend you study it and try to duplicate it.

Best I can do for you.  Good luck with it.

No argument, which is why I was careful to use the word "most" twice.  Just like "AR-15", the moniker "AK-47" has become a generic term.  (However, personally I still prefer the .223/5.56.)

Here, we will agree to disagree.

There are plenty of anti-gun people who would change it if they could.  And anything in the constitution is subject to change with the right (or wrong in this case) people in power and on the judicial benches.

Now, what was this thread about again? 

Attaboy dino.  AND, you live in California, which is a relatively "anti-gun" state.  Good for you.  Keep 'em locked and loaded, bro.

Some of the best advice ever given:  "Better to have and not need than to need and not have."

Well Phill, here's the thing.  I could rant for hours about this, but I won't.

Only for a few minutes. 

I realize there is a VAST cultural difference between the US and the UK, and I feel at least SOMEWHAT qualified to talk about it since I have lived in both places and become immersed in both cultures.  (North Yorkshire, England, 1998-2002 -- a little village just outside of Darlington, County Durham.)

Here in America, most of us enjoy a culture where guns are a part of it.  (Note that I said MOST, not all.)  The right to keep and bear arms has been part of our national fabric since (almost) day one.  Some choose not to have guns in their homes, and that is fine.  The operative word being CHOOSE.

However, more and more people feel that this constitutional right to keep and bear arms is in danger.  They feel that we may go the way of the UK or Australia, and to them (OK, I admit it ... us), that is just intolerable.  So, if the goverment of the US decides to subvert the constitution and start confiscating firearms, this "d*ick's" idea is A way to for us to defend our own rights which many people have died to defend.

BTW:  I can spend hundreds (thousands? - no idea) on a 3D printer to print a gun which may or may NOT fire, or I can spend $100 (seriously - no joke, I've checked) and buy a used Avtomat Kalashnikova (AK-47*) from a "guy" in [pick your favorite big city] which I know WILL fire.  The point being that "any d*ck" can already GET one!  More/stricter gun control laws will not fix this!  Criminals don't give a rat's a** about laws!

(Sorry, off my soapbox now.)

The bottom line is this:  Criminals do not follow laws.  No amount of gun regulation will make an iota's difference to someone who is willing to break the law.  Gun laws only harm law-abiding citizens who only wish to defend their families and property from low-life scum.

Say like, in the case of Tony Martin?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_(farmer)  (The link won't work, so copy and paste into your browser as needed.)

For anyone who disagrees, think about this: Here's a great  idea:  Let's outlaw heroin and cocaine.  Yeah.  That'll surely keep them off the streets.   Right?  Just like prohibition!  That worked!

I don't expect everyone to like it, nor even necessarily to understand it, but that's the way it is.  And I thank God every day for it.

* = By the way folks, most (not all) AK-47's are crap.  Most are throw-away weapons which are manufactured in China at about $9 apiece.  If you are shopping and can actually FIND one right now, get a .223/NATO 5.56 (which most people refer to generically as an "AR-15").  Better quality weapon.

Personally, I prefer my S&W .357 magnum or my HK-45C.  They fit better under my pillow. 

I'm done.  Have a nice day.

There's an app for that.

Seriously, if you have a smart phone, search your app store for guitar tuners.  I have a free one on mine which only plays the notes so that you can tune against them (so you do have to tune by ear).  But I believe there are ones you can buy for fairly cheap which turn your phone into a digital tuner.
