re: In need of advice.

Dont expect to get that song down easily if youre just beginning. It has alot of bar chord sliding and you have to be somewhat left/right hand coordinated to tackle that song. Give it time and it'll come. You could potentially learn the "dah-dah...dah...dah-dah" melody and play it on one string, but if you want to play and sing that song, it's best to learn the rhythm chord progression and strum along.
