Note: Chords on Ultimate Guitar may be different from the tutorial above due to being in a different key or because the author has simply used different chords from my version. Use the transposing tool available on their site to transpose chords to the key you wish to play in.
—————————————-

BEGINNER TIPS:

Replace F Major with F7 if F Major is too difficult to play. If you aren’t comfortable with playing E7 play Em instead. It won’t sound absolutely right, but it will be ok to get you through until you are comfortable playing E7. The original key of the song is D so capo the 2nd fret and use the chords in the tutorial if you want to play in the same key as the original song.

HI, I would first like to Thank you for your tutorials, I am truly a beginner and your videos are some of the best that I have seen. The Chord Tutorials are especially helpful, I would like to request two songs, Im pretty sure your list of requests must be long but If you can make a tutorial for “2Pac- Thugs Mansion” and “BabyFace – When can I see You again” I would really appreciate it. Again Thank You and BestWishes in the New Year.
