    Hello friends,
    and welcome to the third installment of my lessons series breaking down how to play The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." In today's session we'll move on to learning the rhythm guitar section including the chord progressions and strumming patterns for the verse and chorus sections. Use this tune to practice general rhythm technique, picking accuracy, and bar chord shapes. Let's get started!

    Awesome to see you still making great content here on CZcams. Thanks so much. I’m not normally the guy that request additional content within the context of comments about already published content, but I’m still hopeful you will publish a lesson on Van Morrison‘s Into the Mystic. I did follow the formal request process of course a while back. 😁. Have a good one Rob and thanks again for this wonderful lesson.
