On the body of the guitar- I was telling my oldest son, who was 5 at the time, parts of the guitar, and he said that would be the belly or the tummy of the guitar 😊

Lauren this was a song I learned on my own very early on in my guitar lessons and I loved it. It's SO simple a pattern. I wanted my instructor to work with me but he wanted me to understand the chord theory of suspended chords first so he had me hold off. So for those who care about such techno babble. A major chord is Root, 3rd note and 5th note of a major scale. In our case, a D major chord is D, F#, A A suspended (or sus chord) drops the third and adds either the 2nd or 4th note in the scale giving it that distinctive sound. It doesn't have to be a major chord to do this with but in this song. D sus 2 is D, ->E, A (no F#) (E is the 2nd note of the D major scale (D, E) D sus 4 is D, ->G, A (no F#) (G is the 4th note in the D major scale (D, E, F, G) Another great song that adds that is Woman by John Lennon and my favorite example of a suspended chord. It's literally the first chord in the song. Thanks!

Thanks Dave. Yes, I go over this music theory stuff in my Music Theory 101 course. Good stuff to know eventually. This sus stuff pops up all over the place.

What a great lesson from a wonderful teacher. The entire lesson was well laid out and very concise. Clearly explained and easy to follow. I especially appreciated the tabs throughout and your playthroughs, both often missing in others lessons yet extremely helpful for us 'late beginners'. This was the first video of yours that I have seen and easily earned a thumbs up and subscribe (neither of which I give out lightly.) Thank you and keep 'em coming!
