    To play like the original (studio) version the chords are Dm/Am/C/G being: Dm on 5th fret, Am on 5th fret, C on 8th fret and last is a G on 3rd fret (as in major F form)

    • @coluccijulia

      @@bikashth8539 hmm...that's a tough one. I don't have a lot of experience in that price range mostly because I just haven't found one I like. If you increase your budget a little bit, the Martin LX1 is a great option. Ed Sheeran played that guitar for a long time. You might be able to find a used one in the $200 range. I really like the stuff Epiphone is coming out with lately too, so that might be worth checking out. Hope that helps.

  • @JohnOhkumaThiel

    I had never listened to Harry Styles before, being a bit turned off by his celebrity, costumes, ... but a few days ago my wife was playing random songs on Apple iTunes, this came up, really liked it, asked who it is, and so now I'm a Harry Styles fan.
    So then I looked up tabs and such for it and they didn't seem quite right, then went to Marty Music. He plays it in a much more advanced way, but that too didn't seem right. Then I watched the same Tiny Desk video and saw they were playing fairly basic chords, nothing like the tabs and Marty versions.
    So happy I found your video. That's exactly what I came up with, but since it's a whole band I thought maybe I had to either play all the parts into a looper or that Marty's version was best for just me with one guitar.
    Thanks for showing how easy it actually is.
    I love the band though. It's very Sheryl Crow like.

    I really like what you did here! It would be great if you could do "two ghosts" also by harry styles. The style from this song is quite unique :)
    Also side fact harry isn't a champ with the quitar because he never learned it. Niall Horan showed him some stuff while being in 1d but even niall never jad guitar lessons. Harry is better on the piano but I love how he practiced since beginning of his solo carreer on the guitar.
