Try this ^^^...but a piano is really needed...

I'm in school right now so I can't watch the vid, but I used to play it like "The Buskers Method" Now I play it as an "F with a G on top" as george would say. Also it needs acoustic guitar (Same chord) and a high D on the bass. Along with a snare and a ride.

Planning more trips to the Museum (during late Dec and again Mid January) with all my NAMM buds.

Thanks to Craig for the (old) Lennon Museum pics..where is V81 today is anyones guess

Someone had stated a while back that this guitar wired up with a dual-mono setup....since the jackplate says 'Ric-O Sound' on it the 'dual-mono' wiring myth was just that--a myth.

Well, I would wonder whether the factory would have had any dual jackplates that were not already silk-screened with the "Standard" and "RIC-O-Sound" labels. Just saying.

Gary, that could be, sure....I had thought that the screening was removed on guitars that had something other than 'standard' and 'Ric-O-Sound' with a few wipes of some acetone, but maybe not that early. YMMV..

would have posted in color where silkscreen shows better, maybe next time.

Magically switched to The bridge position ...

Greg, you have permission to touch the guitars! Looks more appropriate in the down position, anyway.

Roger McGuinn loved CM107, he looks like a little kid in a candy store here...



I wish I could find this in a larger size!

That's not the chord... i hope this will do.
