Thanks, great song! i have been playing it with a slightly different strum but it still sounds ok. Do you use a capo for this one?

I've been going from D to D6 then to D7, helps me get my fingers lined up a bit and makes it sound more like I'm sliding into the D7 (my memory of this song). Also I like to start off the chorus with the signature riff: slide from high B (high E string, 7th fret) to A (5th fret) i.e. ('four - strong ...'), then hit the G chord for 'winds' just to mix it up a bit, so I know where I am in the song (and presumably any listeners too). Just don't ask me to play AND sing! :cry:

What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's really all about?

~ why yes, I am available on youtube ~
