Announcement: SongTabs.com Releases “Learn How to Play Stand By Me - Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson”
(PRWEB) March 31, 2014 -- Beth starts off this easy beginner acoustic guitar lesson by going over what chords you will be using in the song. The chords she says you will use are; C, G, Em and D. Next Beth explains that the chord progression is G, Em, C, and D and then back to G, which she says is the same all the way through the whole song. Next Norman teaches the strumming pattern as down, down, up, up, down, up and that G and Em get eight beats each and the C and D get four beats each and the final G gets eight beats, so in other words you play the strumming pattern twice on G and Em and once on C and D. The strumming pattern is counted as 1 2 & 3 4 & which is four beats. “It’s a really cool song and it’s so simple to play,” says Norman, “you will also need to use a Capo on the second fret.” Complete chord charts and guitar TAB’s are available for this easy beginner guitar lesson 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.
