I don't think this one is too difficult for beginners
As I think that is the weird chord names that puts most
People off, well it used to be that way with me. I'd look
At the song and see something like D7/F or B7sus4 and just
Turn the page and look for something with E / A / D in it
And nothing else. Its only when I started to look at the
Fingerings that I realised how stupid I was at being scared
Of trying something new.

So give this a go, surprise yourself!
