🎶 Beginner Guitarists:
This song is rated Advanced Beginner because it moves at a fairly quick pace, with chord changes occuring in close succession. It can help to practise slowly at first, building confidence with each change before bringing the song up to full speed.
If you find any of the charted Eb chords hard to play, an easy alternative is to strum the D chord shape starting on the 3rd fret (instead of the 2nd fret), and only play the top 3 strings. 🥳
