The singing part I didn’t find too bad, it was when Linda hums that I found really difficult and it took me ages to get that.

There’s humming? I suppose I ought to listen to the original. But I suspect you don’t have to hum if you don’t want to.

Yes, the humming comes between the pre-chorus and the chorus but give the original a listen. Of course not, remember you’re making it your own.

Rebecca its more woohoo ooing than humming but its certainly not words. Definitely worth a listen to the original, not only for that but the whole vibe of the song.

The music video is very helpful because if you watch carefully you can see she is not using an A barre cord at the 5th fret as Justin surmised, but is instead using more of a hybrid traditional/power A chord on the 2nd fret with her thumb wrapped over the top to mute the low E string. But Justin’s video description of how she is letting the open strings ring out in the chord transitions seems bang on. What an awesome song!

Hi David welcome to the forum and glad the video helped. Always good to put things into persepective.
Why not pop over HERE and introduce yourself.

A great tune and another excellent lesson by Justin. I am now playing in a band and this song is in our set. I am currently trying to learn the lead line on my electric guitar.

The challenge for me with this is I tend to lose the strumming pattern after the first chorus or so, although I seem to play it okay by feel. Also, the singer’s voice goes up super high from the verse to the pre-chorus, which I find challenging, because i can’t get those higher notes. So I have to start lower.

No capo on the app version, so it’s one step down from the actual key of the song, which makes it easier to sing!

Yeah but then I gotta do the dreaded barr chord(s)
