Free Fallin Guitar Tutorial – Tom Petty
Welcome to my Free Fallin Guitar Tutorial – one of the easiest 3 chord songs on guitar, by Tom Petty. This is the easiest way to approach this rock and roll classic on acoustic guitar.
We start out with the easy version that uses a capo on the 3rd fret, and then afterwards I show you how to play it without a capo (which is a bit more advanced, as it requires the use of barre chords).
This Free Fallin guitar tutorial is very easy as far as the chords are concerned. It’s just D, G and A… 3 very basic guitar chords. We take a look at those, and work on the timing of them (since the chord changes happen in the middle of the measures, which isn’t something we come across all the time). After that we add a strumming pattern, which is the most challenging part of this. Then we play it together nice and slow.
