Thanks for the great lesson Rob! The Patsy Cline lessons were cool too!

I'm struggling with the bridge section on this, my hands are too small to wrap my thumb to get the base lines. In your video you briefly explain that you can use alternate chord's and miss out on the added base line. If possible would you be able to tab that out? or at least break it down? I'm loving your video's by the way!

Hey I’m so glad you’re making progress and enjoying one of my favorite lessons. I know your pain, staying in playing position for long periods of time is a killer!

Thanks for the nice lesson! I am trying to record it using Ableton and...can't find a consistent BPM tempo. What are you playing to? I guess around 63 but...if I search for the song's BPM online it says 120 so....counting the wrong way? Please tell me what you are using :)
