GUITAR TUTORIAL: "Fool For Waiting"
I’ve received a bunch of messages from folks saying they’ve been trying to figure out how I play Fool For Waiting live. Of course, there’s no guitar on the album recording (piano instead), but I’ve been using some of my unusual-but-somewhat-signature guitar chord structures to play this one at shows.
The chord progression is quite simple but the positions might take a bit of practice.
Put questions or requests for other songs in the comments!
Above is a video walkthrough and I’ve put all the chords / tablature below. Enjoy :)

Thanks Dan, this made my evening here in the UK! I loved the casual vibe, and already notice a way better sound than with the tab I was using before.
If you're looking to do more of these I'd love to see Jeopardy or Et les Mots Croises. Or honestly anything you feel like posting. :)
Beauty! Such a lovely song, and to have your walk through like we were sitting right down next to you was really special. Thanks for sharing .
