Do you have a method for when you play C vs. when you play C/G?  Does it matter if you're playing solo vs. with a bass player?

Chris,

Thanks for the reply.  I found the fundamentals stuff in the first month enormously useful, and I shared a lot of what I learned with my own students (I teach a beginner guitar class to high schoolers).  The stuff about tension, holding a pick and thumb placement really made me rethink some of my own habits.

With a tune this straightforward, I feel like you could have given me a chord chart, sung it once (we can always repeat the video section if needed), and gotten right to the things you'll be doing in future weeks (but I don't know if I'm representative of other students).

I'm a big fan and thrilled you're doing this.

Is the plan to work on the solos between the verses in future lessons?  The tune itself is pretty straightforward, but would love a breakdown (and tabs, ideally) of what you're doing.
