The Fender Guitar Method - Ode To Joy - Lesson 17

So what song is "Ode To Joy"?  I know that I have never heard of it before.  So I googled the song on youtube again just to see what it was and apparently it is very popular and it was composed by Beethoven.  Since I am musically challenged, I had never heard of it until I heard the sound and it was very familiar.  This song took me about 4 days to get a decent full song on the guitar.  Part of my problem was that I realized my second string was out of tune.  Once I tuned it, then the melody began sounding alot better and the song became easier to play. 

Here are the song notes (wow 4 whole lines)..... I feel like I accomplished something. 


And here is me playing the song. 



Enjoy.  Let me know if you have any tips, tricks, or suggestions.
