Beginner Guitar Song 1 'For What It's Worth' by Buffalo Springfield - EASY 2 Chord Song

Welcome to this lesson showing the FIRST song that I recommend all beginners learn on guitar!
We'll learn this song using just the E major and A major chords, which will also give you the skills to play the other songs at Level 1 of the Andy Guitar Beginners Course.

Watch the video below to learn the song, and play along with Andy to the FULL song towards the end of this video!

I first taught this song in my popular "Play 10 songs with 2 chords " video, which is now the most watched video on YouTube! It shows you the 2 easiest chords to play on guitar, which will give you the skills to play the other songs included in Songs for Beginner Level 1

For the first time since I've gotten my guitar I was able to strum along to something without staring at my fretboard, and do so successfully! and it feel like progress, which has been so hard to find in the beginning! So glad I found this video!! Thank you!

I have finally done it. 1 week of practicing transition between e and a. I play this version of what's it's worth. Not perfect, but I still did it. I still need to practice it but I have finally did it. Off on A few times. It has been a dream of mine to learn the guitar since I was 14. Only took 30 years. Thank you Andy I am so happy
