Did you ever feel that you would never be able to get a tune out of your guitar? I did when I started.

Here' a clip to inspire us all. I saw this on a Parkinson programme that Paul McCartney did soon after he lost his wife Linda. He shows how he developed a song just using a variety of two finger chords after Linda had given birth to their daughter Mary. Anyway he explains on the clip how he discovered the first chord.

It's just great and inspires me. Hope you all like it (Wish the fret board was facing us more so that we could see all the chords he worked out).

Nice clip! :)

Pretty tune, too.

And I'm going to try out those chords, so thanks, Jason.

Hey thanks Jason,

I'll be trying this out now once I've sorted out the sequence. I didn't know that my accidental pun "sussed" refered to three of those chords.

Anyway glad you all enjoyed the clip.
