    The tone sounds great on this. As a beginner I find it difficult to make that tone on my guitar and amp and think it would be cool if you could leave a link in the description for a Boss Katana patch for this tone and any others you do.👍

    Also on the bluesy bit you can go up to the 7th fret on the last strum which i think sounds closer to the actual song! Hope this helps people or to make it easier you can hold down 2nd fret g string as well as 2nd fret g string

    Thank you!
    I found this video really helpful.
    I liked when you worked out that F chord as a sus 2. I love a bit of relevant theory.... so I was a bit dismayed when I heard you say 5....7....9....10.... instead of D... E...F#....G....
    I hope you get what I mean without thinking I'm being too critical.
    We can see what fret number the finger is on quite clearly.
    I just like to promote the use of the actual names of the notes..... rather than fret numbers... or at least as well as the numbers.
    Keep actual music knowledge alive sort of thing.
    Viva la Music!
    Thanks again for the great video.

      Hold up all fingers, then curl 1 & 3 to touch your hand, then swap with 2 & 4. Repeat lots, speed up and it'll stretch your fingers.
