Welcome to my "Don't Worry Be Happy" Guitar Lesson + Tutorial, by Bobby McFerrin. This is one of the easiest songs you can play on guitar as it uses 3 simple chord shapes (G, Am, C) and repeats them over and over. This feel-good classic uses a very easy strumming pattern and is perfect if you are a beginner who is just getting started on guitar.
"Don't Worry Be Happy" CHORDS: G, Am, C
"Don't Worry Be Happy" STRUMMING PATTERN: R-Du R-Du

The lesson begins with the chord shapes and some switching tips. Switching from G to A minor requires you remove all your fingers. Repetitive motions will build your muscle memory in this case; Remember to plan out how you're going to make the switch! Switching from A minor to C is really simple: you just need to move one finger. Finally we switch from C back to G, which once again requires you to go through it in a certain order. Once we're comfortable with the chords we practice them using downstrokes only just so we can count each one out for the right number of times
The strumming pattern is really easy. We break it down, count it out, discuss how to get a good feel. It's one thing to do the strokes correctly but it's another thing to feel it correctly, so we focus on that.
All that's left to do is put the chord progression together with the strumming pattern. We do that, nice and slow, we play it together, and that's it!
This is one of the simplest songs you can play on guitar. It's a three chord wonder - the same thing over and over again. Once you can play through the progression a couple times, you'll be able to play through the entire song from start to finish. When it comes to practicing this song I have some tips for you at the very end of the video so stick with it!
If you'd like to practice this song with me, there's a full playthrough available on my Patreon page, where I play through the entire song, start to finish. More information on that here: [ Ссылка ]
Have a fun time practicing and I'll see you soon!
