UPDATE: I initially made this video for my brother-in-law, Mac. He already knew the beginning part. That's why I don't go into too much detail about the rhythm and timing of it. Besides, he is a mature adult who plays guitar and is very musical. I did NOT make this tutorial for 9-yr-old beginners. If you get it and you're a beginner, all the power to you. But this is for someone who can already play a bit, or picks up quickly.

Anyway, this little tutorial turned into a monster and over 800 people have Favorited it, and has over 135,000 views. The fact that it was popular prompted me to (after a bit of time) get the entire song up in 5 parts. Enjoy what you see, and I hope it benefits you. Please, I am busy making an album; I don't have time for more tutorials.
Thanks,

How to play Bad Day my way!! hahaha

~~I remembered that I initially learned this from a lead sheet that I got on some site somewhere. You can get the lead sheet (melody and chord symbols) on my site at http://www.freewebs.com/pianobea ~~

This would officially be my first tutorial. heh. I suck at this. More to come in the future!! But don't expect fancy-schmancy diagrams and whiteboards.

~~subsequent note: Sorry I don't have time for any more tutorials at the moment.
