I’m amazed. I’ve been playing guitar for over 50 years and when I began we would either get the sheet music to a song, or more often listen to the recording, on vinyl, as many times as necessary to work out the chord structure and the melody. From there we’d work out any solos and then improvise our own. Now I can go on the internet and UG gives me access to the work somebody else has done and I can pick the song right up. And what do others do? They carp and criticize that it’s not in the same key as the VIDEO! Learn to transpose, get a capo, you’re going to have to play in whatever key your lead singer is most comfortable in anyway😁.

nah man, the recording is in Db not D. listen to it and play along with it. if you wanna play along to the record just transpose it to Db.

Not accurate to key of most popular recordings and chord changes are off. Use the pro tab instead. not a bad try but don't expect it to sound like recording.
