Lesson Description
This easy guitar lesson has 6 chapters. David starts with the Performance, which itself starts with the great Everly guitar riff that David has simplified here for you, with no loss of grooviness. In the next chapter, the Overview, you'll learn the song history and the simple chords used. We then go to the Intro, where David shows you how to play a fairly complex strum pattern that is extremely important, not only for Bye Bye Love, but also for your guitar playing and musicianship in general. In the next chapter, the Chorus, David introduces a backbeat rock strum pattern that gets you through most of the chorus. The Verse chapter comes next, which uses the same strum pattern as the Chorus. Next comes a nice long Slow Practice where, as usual, we practice with you. We end with a rocking Outtake for your listening and playing pleasure.
