Description
We’ve arranged this song in a made easy format for acoustic guitar with simplified chords and strumming. If you’re up for a challenge, we’ve also included a bonus lesson to learn how to play the song with an 8th note triplet swing rhythm.
Any acoustic or electric guitar is suitable to play along with this tutorial. The original recording of this song is in the key of Bb with a modulation, but we’ll simplify our version to the key of A with no modulation.
In the following lessons, we’ll talk about open 7th chords, the 12 bar blues form, dynamics and a steady strumming pattern. We are in the key of A major, with a 4/4 time signature, at a tempo of 202 BPM.
