    Written in India after Mia Farrow's sister Prudence, who was a Transcendental Meditation teacher who rarely wasn't meditating. In a Rolling Stone interview, in 2015 she commented the song "embodies the the spirit of the 60's". I bet it must of annoyed her as well, but she wouldn't say anything negative.❤

      Thanks for providing a good history lesson for everyone. I considered mentioning some background information, but a lot of viewers tend to click off when you go into such details. I believe it was Donovan who introduced the picking pattern to him at that time, but I'd have to check if that's accurate.

    Another fantastic lesson, I'm about to start on it. Just wondered though if we are in D major, shouldn't the key signature be C sharp and F sharp.

      If you're still getting down your basic chords and strumming patterns, there are a bunch of songs I would recommend before this one. But that's not to say you can have some fun, experiment with some of these techniques and pickup a few new chords. This tune is a great choice for those approaching the intermediate level, but I'll tell you, after years of teaching I realized you can't put limits on students... when someone really commits, they often are able to learn things that one would think are beyond their experience level.

    The second verse chord should be 0 3 0 2 3 2 not 0 3 0 0 3 2.

    • @karlheinzfreire7162
      @karlheinzfreire7162 Місяць тому

      True. It's the D Major chord (done with bar with index finger and ring finger) plus the C on the A string, which should be pressed with the middle finger. And it's a big technical difference, at least for me.

      ​@@karlheinzfreire7162 Actually, it's not necessary to bar the D chord: Play it normally, with your first 3 fingers, and use your little finger to fret the C on the A string. When you go on to fret the B, then Bb, again on the A string, the G string is open.
