The first version stays in the key of G throughout the song while the second version modulates to Ab half of the way through like the original recording. The lesson also includes a full demonstration of the arrangement with a guitar playing the melody. Also included are a variety of backing tracks to play your new arrangement with.

The Vietnam War era produced several “anthems of angst”, and this one made the top of the list. This folk-rock hit made it to number four on the charts in 1971 and stayed in the hearts of Americans ever since. In this lesson you will learn the entire guitar part played by Edwards completely “by ear”. Bill Brown will demonstrate, and then explain in detail, every chord and strum without video, tab, or music. The lesson includes both demonstration and backing tracks to practice and perform with.
