Anyone got any good clips of how to play happy birthday on acoustic guitar?

    Those are all really good, thank you! I ended up with these chords. Slightly need to improve the execution though ….

  • Last month a very dear friend who is a fairly big deal at a military facility abroad got their big band to play a really awesome arrangement of "Happy Birthday" and sent that to me. On his birthday last weekend, I thought it'd be nice to send him a quick something for his birthday so I sent this to him (he's Brazilian so that's what the bit in Portuguese at the end is about):

    Apologies in advance for the crappy unplugged iPad camera sound and video which were then further compressed when it was shared. It was literally a couple of takes done late at night.

    I suppose it's different but better is very subjective, isn't it? They've all got their places.
