I wrote this song for my Sweetie and used it in the ballad rhythm guitar lesson, but many of you wanted to learn how to play it, so here you go! However, we'll also see how important timing and syncopation is in our playing. First we'll learn this song, then more importantly we'll apply what we've learned to a simple melody (Happy Birthday) and discover how to enhance our improvisation.

My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.
