Know - Summer of 69

Hi ya all,

I know how frustrating it could be for anyone to learn the guitar especially when the songs they are practicing are the songs they have never heard of before...

I've always thought I could learn the guitar faster if I knew before hand which note would come next rather trying to follow some song I've never heard of before...

So here i wish to give ya all, basic Guitar stuffs that beginners can easily catch up and enhance the learning process...


Rock N Roll...

I think Summer of 69 is easy enough for beginners to easily catch up..

If you can see the video you would notice that I haven't used any out of the world strumming patterns (though they are very essential once you have set yourself comfortably on the guitar).
I've used only the down strokes, with a few up strokes but that aint needed for now


I've also chosen the open chords which are easier for basix,

The song kicks of with the D Chord....

And then with the A Chord







You can watch the video to get a feel of the intro riff.....

Its real simple

After you get a hold on that, you can continue with the D and A chords into the first stanza

D
I got my first real six string
A
Bought it at a five and dime
D
Played it till my fingers bled
A
Was the summer of 69

D
Me and some guys from school
A
Had a band and we tried real hard
D
Jimmy quit and Judie got married
A
Should have known we'd never get far


For the chorus of the song you would need to know the Bm chord and G Chord too


Bm
Oh when I lock back now
A
That seemes to have last forever
D
And if I had the choice
G
Ya - I'd always wanna be there





Those were the best days of my life...

Hope you enjoyed it.....
