Props to the guy for trying, but I think he makes it bit harder than it needs to be.  This may not be perfect, but FWIW here's how I play it:

Intro:
A - pick 5, 4, 3, 2
A9 (x02320 - it's a D shape on strings 2 thru 4) - pick 4, 3, 2, 1
Bm - pick 4, 3, 2, 1 and 1 again on fret 5
E - pick 4, 3, 2 and 1 on fret 4

Verse: chord (word)
A (all) -- A9 (showed) -- Bm (ruined) -- E (last one to know) --  A (last one you thought)
A (saw) -- A9 (fear) -- Bm (I) -- Dm (-pagne)
E (I toasted)

Chorus chords:  A -- Bm -- E -- (optional E7 after OK) --  A -- A6 (on O-asis, strum X02222 and let it ring) -- Bm -- E -- A

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

You know . . . when you're driving in your car listening to the radio, and a song you can somewhat play on the guitar comes on.  You are listening intently when your wife asks:  "What's wrong with your hand?"

You look down and realize that you're making "air chords" with your fretting hand along with the song.

Thanks all.

MKM:  No video yet.  (Notice I didn't say no beer.)  All I can do right now is plunk around on the root notes, which doesn't make for very exciting viewing.

Zurf:  Get one.  They were on sale at GC last weekend and may still be.  I got it for $300 (regularly $350).

Pete:  The bass sounds good.  A bit of buzzing from time to time, but it's probably my technique (or lack of it).

dino:  Thanks man.  Bass players look like they have a lot of fun.  Maybe one day I can call myself one.

Dang right they will.  Taylor is a fine instrument, but there is a reason why Martins have been around since 1833.

I'm admittedly biased (check my avatar and my signature lines), but to me there's no comparison.  Martin just exudes class IMO.

Me too.  I'd also play the G in the A/G with my thumb.

Maybe, but  I've always seen "add" followed by number (as in "Gadd2").  I don't think I've ever seen "add" followed by a letter.

In the case of my Gadd2 example, you play a normal G but leave the A string (the "2" of G) open, so you are in effect adding a 2 (an A) to the G:  300003.

However in the case of CaddG, G is already part of the C chord (hence the open 3rd string), so to me, CaddG doesn't make much sense.

Late addition:
I did a Yahoo search and it so happens that someone asked the question:  "How do you play the CaddG chord on guitar?  I can't find it."

The answer given was:  "Probably because there's no such thing.  The C major chord is made up of the C, E, and G notes already. Adding another G is superfluous, from the standpoint of naming the chord."

Anyway, I hope this helps.

PS:  Another thing - your original chord tab you asked about was x32013.  This is simply another type of C chord, but has an extra "G" in it on the high end (first string, 3rd fret).  So I'm thinking that "CaddG" may be a cool way to differentiate that particular C chord from x32010.  In short, maybe CaddG = C but add another G on high.  Topdown is correct in that x32013 is definitely not C/G.

I actually get string grooves across my callouses which remain hours after I stop playing.

Your callouses are your friends.  Take care of them.  That includes using an emory board or light-grit sandpaper to smooth off the rough bits from time to time, otherwise they will catch on your strings or will peel too much and you'll be tempted to pull or cut them off.  (Don't do that or you'll hurt like a newbie all over again.)

Use moisturizer on your fingertips before you go to sleep.  Your fingers should regain some normal shape by the time you wake up, but will still be as hard as little hammers.  That's a good thing.

Hi, Eric, and welcome.

I know exactly what you're saying.  Topdown's point is that as a search engine, Chordie goes and grabs what is out "there", whether it be right or totally wrong.

One thing to do is when there are multiple versions of songs, look at the Accuracy rating for the song and go for the higher-rated ones first.  While highly rated songs aren't necessarily 100% accurate, they're usually close.  With a few tweaks here and there you can get them sounding right.

Another thing to do is scroll down to the bottom and look and see if there are any comments entered for the song.  That is one place where chordie users can suggest changes/improvements to a version of the song that the search engine finds.  Here is an example of one that I commented on a while back:
