I have found Jerry’s Guitar Bar to be always reliable. The internet is littered with people supposedly showing you how to play John Denver’s “Sunshine on my Shoulders”. The only correct and accurate version I’ve found is Jerry’s. (I had the same trouble with McCartney’s “Blackbird”, but there are one or two people apart from Jerry who get it right – and again, an awful lot who don’t, however well intentioned they may be.)
