Hiya, the tab on the website via JustinGuitar Tabs currently has the incorrect version that Justin mentions in the video where the song switches to E7 in the chorus instead of staying on E7sus4 for two bars. Is it possible to change this on the website?

Great lesson, but I have a hard time matching the strumming pattern with line two - “I’ve been for walk…”
I can make et work nicely for lines 1,3 &4. Anyone else having trouble? Are the bar-lines correct?

Same problem here, I get the idea that I am to early or to late and don’t have the right strumming pattern in my head for the 2nd line. Line 1,3 and 4 are fine. Will struggle on (glad that I am not the only one having troubles with this)

When do the chord changes happen? I’ve been playing it and it doesn’t sound right. I’ve tried watching Justin in slow motion and note down when he changes chord but I’m getting angry. Can someone write out when the changes happen? Ice been playing guitar for 20 years and have gotten nowhere.
