TAB AVAILABLE, READ ON...Michael Chapdelaine created a fantastic version of this classic Mamas and Papas song, well worthy of learning. However Michaels unique combination thumb-slap string-flick technique was a bit hard for me to do so I simplified it to humans playable. It think I've got it *reasonably* easy to play but still sounding true to his work.

I'm still learning it as you will probably notice from the vast number of pauses and mistakes - but with the recent death of the second last Mama and Papa I figured I'll get it out there as a bit of a tribute.

Sheet music available at:

Enjoy,
JAW

    It's been a week and still haven't got the slaps down...and apparently won't any time soon. I can't be bothered anymore...I'll just ask people to clap along.

    Looking forward to your next vid.

    Easy to say, hard to do. MC is incredible, I didn't even try to get it the same as him. I can play this a bit better now, but I'm still working on the slaps.

  • Thanks for the tabs ...

    Thanks for the tabs...got the basics down now. Couple of weeks till I get the slaps..

    Got the love back thanks to you and Naudo...thansk for that. The only thing that can make me put my guitar away again is watching that kid, Sungha...have you seen him? It's almost depressing..

    Thanks again and keep it up.

    Great! It reminds me of Jose Feliciano's version of the song. I've never been able to find tab of his version, but yours captures the same flavor.

    Jaw, your version is great. I still learned your version of "goodbye blue sky" and now im still learning "reckles". I think it makes you proud if you have video responses from persons like Naudo....
