Announcement: SongTabs.com Releases “How to Play Sweet Home Alabama - Easy 3 Chord Song - Acoustic Guitar Lesson with Tabs”
(PRWEB) March 19, 2014 -- Although this song was originally done by Lynyrd Skynyrd, the version the Zollars teaches in this easy video guitar lesson is closer to the version recorded by Jewel than the original. Paige uses a Capo on the first fret of her guitar for this, but she says “that you don’t need one at all if you don’t want to”. Paige jumps right into this lesson by demonstrating the chords used in the song, which she says are D, C and G, “the whole song is just those three chords in the same order over and over again”, says Zollars. She demonstrates the strumming as follows; for the intro she does two down strokes on beats 1 & and then two string slaps for beats 2 & for D and C and then four beats for G 1-2-&-3-4-&, down-down-up-down-down-up. Next for the verse she says that the strumming is the same as the intro except she strums instead of the slap. And finally for the chorus she does the same strum as the verse, just with a little more power behind it to make it stand out. Guitar TAB’s and chord charts for this easy guitar lesson are available at SongTabs.com.
A Capo, short for capotasto, which is Italian for “head of fret board”, is a device used on the neck of a fretted instrument to shorten the playable length and raise the pitch.
