Fun to play!
I have playd this song many times before in "my own way" and felt comcortable, but was qurious to check this lesson. I learned a lot! A much more "controlled" and basic way of putting L & R hands together. The "system" can man copied to som many other songs. Some interesting chords! An endings!
