Knocking on Heaven's Door Guitar Lesson for Beginners

Hey guitar enthusiasts! In this guitar tutorial, Lauren is back with a Knockin on Heaven's door for beginners! In this Knocking on Heaven's Door guitar lesson by Bob Dylan we are going to learn a simple, repetitive chord progression using four basic open chords: G, D, C, and A minor, and it's in standard tuning, making it even more accessible. Lauren explains the smooth transitions between chords, especially the four-finger G chord for easier switching to D. She introduces two beginner-friendly strumming patterns and guides you through a slow playthrough of the verse and chorus, emphasizing timing and smooth chord changes.

For those ready to advance, Lauren offers tips on more intricate strumming patterns and introduces a basic picking technique to add a melodic touch. She breaks down each step, demonstrating how to pick individual strings within the chords to create a dynamic sound. This video is perfect for beginners looking to master a classic song while gradually incorporating more advanced techniques. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of the song's structure and the confidence to play it smoothly.
