Hello friends,

I hope you've enjoyed an amazing weekend of practice, and that you were able to implement some of the advice that I shared in my "10 Reasons Why You "Suck" at Guitar" talk. Of course, none of you really "Suck" at guitar, it's simply a gradual process that is full of hoops and hurdles, we'll make it through each step together!

One of the easiest ways for beginners to boost their skills, and their confidence is to master a set of simple, but recognizable songs. Today I'll be offering you some chord sheets to go along with some of my favorite beginner lessons in the Swiftlessons archive. You can download my "First Repertoire" ebook for more easy tunes.

In this post, I have a new chord sheet & intro tab for Van Morrison's 1967 classic "Brown Eyed Girl." This tune features only a handful of common chords and our beginner friendly "pop strumming pattern." Let's get started!

I have trouble with fitting the full DDU UDU for each G C G D chord of the verse. Does each chord get the full DDU UDU treatment or doesn't it have to? eg. Hey where did we go, days when the rains came? Where are the chord changes in relation to the words?

i really like this song. i'm practising for some days but it is still really fast for me to play along.

These songs you have arranged for us with fairly easy riffs are awesome transition pieces to go from just strumming chords to the next level. Brown eyed girl seems like an especially good beginner song because the chords convey the recognizable melody (many or most don't) - so you can learn it in steps and it is a recognizable song no matter where you are in that process. It has taken me a long time as a beginner to recognize all of that - Thanks for your help along the way. Your arrangement of "La Vie En Rose" was the very first song that I have really learned to play (Uke and then on Guitar) and be able to mix riffs effectively with chords. By the time I then learned your version of "My Girl" I understand that the "chord riffs" are 4 note (in a 4/4 song) melodic hooks played in the same scale that the chord is built from (light bulb! That's what you've been explaining all along!) The same thing could be done with many songs... Anyway, now that I've had that taste, I'm inspired to learn more like it. Big thanks! I only wish I had started earlier in life, but there was no YouTube then. Oh well...

Thank you for the great lesson. I already sort of knew this song, but am enjoying adding in some of your little extras to jazz it up. I was wishing you talked a bit about how you do that cool thing where you appear to lift your fingers off the strings. Any insights?

Amazing how the little run from G to Em and the Dsus adds to this song. Appreciate the tips on theory along the way.

Yes! Does Rob talk about this technique in another lesson?

I love having the intro and riff. Van is a huge fave of mine. I'm never sure if I really understand the connection of notes and chords in any tab. But your point about the scale, the melody and harmony notes was very helpful. More thanks!

This is a great song and this gives me a chance to ask "What is Van singing at the end? " It sounds like he is saying "six five six five six five." Since that does not make sense to me, can anyone tell me what he does say?
