πΈ Beginner-Friendly Bob Dylan with "Mr. Tambourine Man"
|
Happy Friday, my friends! I've received a bunch of Bob Dylan requests in the past few weeks, no doubt because of A Complete Unknown hitting theaters β and wanted to add another of his songs to my library. So today I'm excited to share this brand new lesson for his 1964 classic Mr Tambourine Man. At its core, this can be played as a 3-chord song thatβs quite beginner friendly. But as per usual, Iβll also include a handful of ways you can level things up. This includes several ways you can add flourish to various chords, as well as utilized drop-d tuning as Dylan does himself. In addition to my main video lesson, I have several play-along covers you can use to practice β along with some print-friendly practice notes. You can access all these on my lesson page for this song β which you can find by clicking here. β Looking for More Bob Dylan Tutorials? I've got lessons for a bunch of his songs β here's the full list! Links below will take you to my video lessons, along with any other materials I've made (e.g. licensed song sheets, bonus videos, etc). Here they are, with my more recent additions at the top of this list.

A new song from the latest Turnpike Troubadours album truly swept me away the past week β and I'm excited to share my new lesson below. If you enjoy fingerstyle, give the intro a listen β as the almost-acrobatic pattern of those first 5 chords feels amazing once under your belt. Enjoy, my friends! βοΈ David LESSON #589 "Heaven Passing Through" by Turnpike Troubadours Over the last couple years Turnpike Troubadours has become, without question, one of my favorite bands.
