    The Chords for "Let it be" are different on the Original wit Am and F and some additional tarnsition chord or some in Intermezzo like Bb. The foor Chords sound ok, buts is it just a simple Version extra for this video?

    @peterbridge7940 6 днів тому

    Your videos are just perfect in the sense they are professional But they're presented in an informal and instructive way You don't say hey you guys and you don't hoop and a holler. I guess there's nothing wrong with that but it just doesn't work for me. I really have very little musical talent and I can't hear when chords change or I'm getting slightly better and the accompanying "chord charts" showing how many bars etc. are what I need. ultimate guitar is very good but the chords seem to be popped randomly on the line and it's never obvious to me when they change. My hearing has been damaged by heavy rock concerts and have no regrets other than not wearing musiciancia plugs and I was always Tone deaf or maybe semitone deaf as I know when the strings out of tune but not whether it's flat or sharp. so although I play bass, your site is turning out to be brilliant for me and what I need. is it what I've been looking for to miss quote U2 🎸
