Do you mean this version?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWFiW3nzc0E This lesson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ELeEq1Hkw gives the chords in the right key but they are not exactly what is played on the recording. If this is not what you want then perhaps you could post a link to the right version. |
