Three Little Birds Guitar Tutorial

Welcome to my Three Little Birds Guitar Tutorial by Bob Marley! In this tutorial you will learn how to play an easy 3-chord song for guitar – an absolute campfire classic! With this simple chord progression and basic strumming pattern, this could easily be the first song you learn on guitar.

This lesson is divided into a few parts. You’ll learn the chords, a reggae-style strumming pattern and a simple lead that can be played during the introduction.

UPDATE: Due to a large amount of requests, I have made a tutorial for the chord melody that I play at the beginning of this video. You can find it here!
