Welcome to Day 3 of this 10 day acoustic guitarseries where we'll be checking out how to play the beginners classic 'Three little Birds' by Bob Marley!
This really cool easy guitar song uses just 3 chords, E major, A major and D major - click the highlighted links if you need more help with any of those chords, or check out the previous lessons in this 10 day course!
This song has been chosen not only because it's an easy popular song, but because it is a longer sequence than we've gone for previously. Many beginners struggle to keep track of where they are when chord sheets and songs become longer. This lesson is therefore an essential stepping stone for most beginners and not want to be missed!
See the 'Jam along' video with live on screen chords for the full song further down this page!
