The lesson begins with the chord shapes: G, C, D. We'll be switching pretty quickly from G to C, and then from G to D, so I recommend taking time with those particular switches.

The first section that I want to play is the chorus because this one is the simplest. We play the chords with downstrokes only, and then we take a look at our strumming pattern, which is pretty straightforward. We break it down and then we put it together with the chord progression from the chorus.

Next, we learn the intro, which uses the same chords but the timing is a little complicated but with the power of "counting it out" we overcome these odd time signatures! We do the same thing, playing the chords and then adding the strumming pattern, then we take a look at the intro melody, which is really simple.. it's just a few notes!

Following that, we learn the verse which, once again, has some odd time signature stuff. We focus on the rhythm/counting, then practice the first verse. The second verse which is a little bit different, so we work on that too, before playing through everything that we learned so far.

Finally we discuss how to play through the entire song from start to finish, the order of all the parts as well as going over some tips for practicing and some resources that might help you.

If you'd like to practice the entire song with me, there's a full playthrough available on my Patreon page, where I play through the entire song, start to finish. More information on that here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/61969577/
