An acoustic guitar lesson, where we learn to play the classic song 'Yellow' by Coldplay. This uses just four easy guitar chords; G, C, D and Em, along with 8th all down strumming, making it perfect for beginners!
If you can play the chords to this song, you should also try the easy lead line shown in this video below. This is the perfect first lead guitar part to learn. If you’ve never done any lead guitar before, GIVE IT A GO!
