Description
Mike will show you this modern pop ballad using open and barre chords and a simple strumming pattern. We’re also including a bonus lesson that shows a few advanced approaches to make the parts sound more like the original recording.
Any acoustic guitar is suitable to play along with this tutorial.
In the following lessons, we’ll talk about open and barre chords, a 12/8 feel, odd time signatures, dynamics, and a simple, steady strum pattern. We are in the key of A major, with a time signature that alternates between 9/8 and 12/8, at a tempo of 87 BPM.
