In today's lesson I'll teach you how to play Dublin Blues, the Guy Clark classic from 1995. This is a three chord song (D, G, and A) where we'll have a capo on the 2nd fret – but we'll only put the capo on the thinnest five strings. This gives us a tuning similar to Drop D, where the D-major chord is played with all six strings (e.g. 000232) — but the G and A major are played like normal, which is great! I'll teach you the chords, break down the intro riff step by step, and show you a few options for strumming. Enjoy!
