This 16-measure sequence is an all-timer classic rock intro, and for the most part it's built around variations of two chord shapes: C major and A minor. My lesson walks you through the various chord voicings used, then show you how to tackle the fingerstyle step-by-step. This gets your foot in the door with this song's intro, helping you build confidence with some semi-simplified arrangements while working toward the full version.
