I've tried to keep it easy and within the confines of the chord shapes as much as possible.

First, numbers IN THE NOTATION refer to LEFT hand fingers; index=1, middle=2, etc.
The letters UNDER THE TABLATURE refer to RIGHT hand fingers; T=thumb, I=index, M=middle, A=ring 

The first section states the melody in the simplest terms with easy chord forms.  I think it is important for a beginner to have some part of the right hand working together so the thumb and  fingers are playing the same rhythm as much as possible.

The next section is the same but adds the full barre' F chord (or 'thumb' type F chord.  I tend to prefer barre chords when possible, but if the thumb is used, be sure not to wrap too much around the neck; you'll get frustrated!  Only bring it around enough to barely cover the note on the low E string.

The next section adds some anticipation or swing feel.  This introduces independence between the right hand thumb and fingers.  I kept it basic and should be relatively easy to learn; BUT I did sneek another chord change in on you!

The next section introduces filling in harmony notes for a fuller sound;  you can be your own little orchestra.  Once again, tying melody and harmony notes together.

The next section cuts back the harmony, but shows how to get a 'meatier' bass 'thump'....and I think we ALL want a meatier thump!

Finally, a sample of improvising on the melody, some variation in the bass, complete with lyrics to the tune, and a vocal guide.  If you find the vocal guide annoying, you may disable it by clicking the little speaker in the tool bar (midi options), and then un-checking the 'melody' track box on the left .  You can also adjust the tempo to suit in this dialogue.

Please write and let me know if you think this is helpful or how it could be better.
