My Girl – Electric Guitar Tutorial (The Temptations)

In this electric guitar lesson, we’re learning “My Girl” by The Temptations, focusing on the classic bassline riff, some jazzy chord voicings, and the subtle groove and feel that define this Motown masterpiece.

🎸 This isn’t just a simple strummer—we’ll be digging into:

  • ✅ The iconic intro riff, adapted from the original bassline
  • ✅ R&B-style chord shapes that bring out the soul of the tune
  • ✅ Rhythm tips to help you stay locked in and grooving

It’s a perfect challenge for players looking to move beyond open chords and into something more expressive and dynamic—especially if you’re exploring soul, R&B, or jazz-influenced pop.
