    Thank you for an in depth analysis of this intro bit! Nice to see a lesson that actually provides sheet music, tabs, explanation, analysis, playing, and different sections divided up. To top it off you don't waste time and get right into explaining. Thanks for making a lesson that isn't a drag to get through!

    Great analysis. I learned the song with a Kyser Capo in the 2nd fret in “E” or (F#)because of the 1/2 step down tune. I do a basic intro hitting most of the notes. I’d rather learn 10 other songs than spend hours and hours learning this one small part. Watching your video proved that! Looks challenging getting it note for note

    Enjoyed this thanks. I’m glad to hear others think that this is a ‘wonky’ intro. I just play bits of it..…and throw in bits of Beatles’ Blackbird to the tempo, before the the last note climb up to D. Audience seems to like the improv and surprise when I start singing the opening line. But I play more closely to the recording at the instr. middle break. This was very helpful…and funny. Cheers.

    Great video the way you go measure by measure...BUT, this intro is so confusing I think it would very helpful if you would have played each section you taught together with the previous section until you got the the end where you could play it all together whole thing for reference. Thanks though! Also thanks for not making me tune down!!
