In this video

Learn to play the classic song Sitting On the dock of the bay by Otis Redding. This uses the B7 chord that is the feature of this part of my beginners course. As well as being an essential basic chord, this can occasionally be used as an alternative to the very tricky B major barre chord. It is also in my opinion crucial preparation for the F barre chord.
