Sweet Home Chicago | Beginners Blues Guitar Lesson (how to play) easy beginner guitar songs

In this guitar lesson, we look at how to play the classic blues song Sweet Home Chicago. Originally by the blues legend Robert Johnson (definitely one to look up) most people are more familiar with the Blues Brother version, which I cover here. It would be useful to have covered 'Heartbreak Hotel' before this lesson!

Great job Andy. Sounds great, very Blues Brothers, so from a midwest guy (me) to a British chap like you, that is a compliment. Learning from you, so a big plus!

Nice Andy, real nice. Thanks for playing it slowly so it sinks in. Looks easy enough to get down, for a beginner. From here, I can play it at any speed I want.

Another awesome lesson, dude. You have a great way of teaching guitar and familiarizing yourself with an audience you can't even see.

Are from Liverpool or Woolton by chance? You sound a lot like the legend on the wall behind you. Accent wise. Trips me out. Thanks again, brutha.

[sarjang]

[BCBlue]

You did not demonstrate the openings riffs to the song. The rest of the lesson is helpful.
