Have fun with this John Lennon classic!!

no performance for study?
Sorry, I haven’t gotten around to doing all the performance videos.
what is your guitar model please ?
I believe in this video I am using a guitar by a guitar maker called Great Divide. They are actually quite inexpensive but very good guitars for the money. 🙂
Terrific work – clear and clean. I should have no excuses now. Thank you.
Whow verry nice, still have a question do you have the lyrics with the tabs.
Hey Tommy. unfortunately I am not allowed to post TAB or lyrics due to international copyright restrictions. 🙁
Sorry! Carl..
very good. but can you give us the chords in the diagram?
I would love to but posting chord charts or TAB for songs under international copyright can get me in trouble. 🙁
Carl…
doesn’t the advertising give you some form of royalties? If not they should and by the way great site I tell everybody about guitarlessons365.com
Not on any song lessons. That ad money goes to the song’s publishing company via Google. 🙁
Carl..
Well at least they allow you to post the songs. Good job, Carl.
Could you post the pdf file like you did with other songs with the order of notes? I always for get which note comes next.
can you upload a chord sheet, so the ones who handles guitar more than other get faster, please
GREAT SIGHT. WILL TELL FRIENDS. THANK YOU!
